I drowned when I was 19. To keep a long story short, I was stuck underwater for too long, started drowning and then blacked-out. Lucky I got pulled-out quickly so I recovered without serious injury.

The experience was quite intense for a while, as I was coughing and gasping for a while, but towards the end it got a lot easier and it felt like a euphoric experience. It wasn't painful, apart from the first gasp of water getting into my lungs, probably because the water was failry cold. After that my throat kind of locked-up and it felt like choking for a while. For a while I coughed and swallowed water, but when i tried to inhale, i could not suck in anything. In the last 15 or 20 seconds or so before I blacked-out then everything in my throat and chest relaxed and I sucked some more water into my lungs and strangely enough then those small breaths of water felt actually quite nice. I was probably kind of dazed by the lack of oxygen, and at some point I belieed i actually could breathe underwater, and i felt quite relaxed in the end. then everything went dark and the next thing I know was being pulled out of the water when I woke up again.

Also, before I actually started to drown, while I was desperately trying to hold my breath, there was a growing feeling of panic, and a burning/tingling sensation in my lungs. like when you sniff up the CO2 from a freshly opened bottle of soft drink, but that went away once I actually started drowning.

I would say it was intense, and uncomfortable, but I did not really find it horrible, and I still swim and dive, and I like the water. If I had to go through it again, I probably could handle it, it doesn't scare me anymore.

What does it mean when you dream of that a relative is drowning and you are asking people for help?

The drowning relative in this dream symbolizes some part of yourself, or some area of your life, such as your job or primarily relationship. Drowning suggests that you feel overwhelmed and "over your head" or "in too deep." You are asking others for help in the dream because you don't feel able to get out of the situation by yourself.
