Sinking

Sinking connects us to our current emotional state of mind. Water is synonymous with our emotions and once we are sinking in our dreams we are overwhelmed in our daily life. We are unable to breath or get up to the surface as you struggle for air. A mirror image struggling to stay afloat in your relationship, work or past emotions.

The sensation of sinking is symbolic of dying, disaster, or trouble in life, Jer. 51:64

Sinking portrays the idea that your foundation is not solid. As a message about your 'internal architecture' sinking can symbolize feelings of insecurity or a sense that you are being undermined in your efforts. Associated with moisture, it can represent how emotions or feelings are undermining your ability to stand up for yourself, or on sure footing. See Quicksand and Muddy under Landscape and Scenery.
