Sometimes I have this dream that I have to swim through deep, deep water while holding my breath to get to something. I never make it. I either drown or freak out and come back up for air. In the dream last night, I came up for air. Even though I knew there was something I needed, I just couldn't bring myself to sink into that cold, black water.
I must have drowned in a past life because I can never shake this fear. Even if I'm just playing a video game, it stays with me. The sections of Mario where you have to be underwater would always terrify part of me. I hate thinking about them even now. It didn't keep me from playing the game, but I did find those sections to be just horrific.
Despite all this, I do love swimming.
