Drowning
Overwhelmed, helplessness, suffocation

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.
Furniture
Furniture represents the structures of your daily life — your comfort zone, habits, and the psychological 'furnishing' of your inner world. A well-furnished room suggests a well-ordered inner life. Empty rooms with no furniture indicate emptiness or the potential for new beginnings. Moving furniture suggests rearranging your life or priorities. Broken furniture represents broken routines or comfort zones.
