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.
Purple
Purple combines the stability of blue with the energy of red, representing spirituality, royalty, wisdom, and mystical transformation. In dreams, purple often appears during spiritual growth or when higher consciousness is being accessed. Purple clothing may represent spiritual authority.
