Or perhaps reading the FAQ would be easier.
I'm a 2% man myself. It's exasperating living with the other 98%, sometimes I wish they'd go live on another planet somewhere. Preferably one that didn't require instructions on how to survive, of course, I'm not a sadist.

EDIT: Feel free to rec me whenever I do this. And that goes for you to.
Water:- In dreams water is often a symbol of emotions, the need for emotional release or freedom, ie, the desire to give emotions more freedom.
Iceberg:- this symbolises frozen emotions. Possibly relating to a fear of expressing emotions in a satisfactory manner. This may also relate to a fear of speaking up for yourself or the need to be more assertive.
Clock:- This suggests an awareness of time slipping away, the need to be more punctual or maybe you feel the time has come to make a change.
Hope this helps.

We're not gonna take it!
No! We're not gonna take it!
We're not gonna take it,
Anymore.
Now, everyone, sing with me. (This is one of those songs that gets stuck in my head.)
Alright, we've made some real progress, but it's all been in unrelated areas of the dream. Now, we need to combine all of these into a message, or messages of the dream, and the way it effects my life. I'll work on this myself, but it'd be helpful if someone else did this too so we could compare results. Thanks for everyone's help. I'm starting to realise how crazy I am.๐
Originally posted by Jay PeateaI always sleep on my side/stomach (between the two), and I often wake up with numb arms and hands. Other than that, there's nothing really unusual.
Ok I read your dream, tell me what position you sleep in ? Also appart from the gasping for breath & heart beating fast, is there any other thing you notice about your body once you have woken up (pain or numbness etc...).
Originally posted by ark13Well if my theory is correct, your numbness in the arms & hands is going to be the cause of your dream. Difficult as it maybe, perhaps you should try sleeping in a different position. On your back or on your side cuddling a strategically placed pillow to stop you lying on your arm and sleeping on your front. I reckon your strange dreams would stop.
