I was running alongside a lake when suddenly I slipped and although I appeared to be very far from the lake I fell in. I was drowning and when I finally "let myself go" and close my eyes I was jerked out of the water. I laid on the ground for a while then got up and started running again. I could see the lake and myself drowning in it but no matter how long I ran I couldn't get any closer to the lake. |
