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.
Office
Offices represent your professional life, work identity, and the structures you operate within. A familiar office reflects your current work situation. An unfamiliar office suggests new professional territory. A messy office indicates professional disorganization, while an empty office may represent career emptiness or the end of a professional chapter. Corner offices and cubicles carry additional hierarchical meaning.
