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.
Jewelry
Jewelry represents self-worth, personal adornment, and the value you place on yourself and your relationships. Rings specifically relate to commitment and relationships. Necklaces suggest what you display publicly. Hidden jewelry indicates private values. Losing jewelry reflects fear of losing something precious — a relationship, identity, or self-worth. Inherited jewelry connects to family legacy.
