Computer

Computer
Computers represent mental processing, intellectual work, and the logical mind. A malfunctioning computer suggests cognitive overload, confusion, or an inability to process information. A computer virus may represent toxic ideas or corrupted thinking. In modern dreams, computers increasingly represent the boundary between real and virtual life. Being unable to use a computer may reflect feeling outdated or unable to keep up.
Drowning
Drowning dreams are powerful expressions of feeling overwhelmed — by emotions, responsibilities, relationships, or circumstances. They can also indicate suppressed emotions that are 'pulling you under.' If someone rescues you in the dream, it may indicate a need for help or that help is available if you ask.
