What does this recurring dream mean?

Home More advice General Knowledge

Every night, I have a weird dream. Disturbing, really. I'm swimming in my backyard (which in reality doesn't have a pool or anything like that in it), I try swimming with my face down in the water, and I can't breathe. I wake up with my chest constricted and breathing heavily.

Another dream that I have on a regular basis is really, really odd. It's not even a dream. For hours, I don't dream. Suddenly, a loud voice bellows in my ear. Just one ear, usually the one that's facing away from the wall. I don't have tinnitus or anything like that. I wake up and the voice continues for a second. It's a waking nightmare.

These dreams are the only ones I ever dream with the exception of about one different dream a month.

Can anyone explain this?
