Big black hole

Hey,

so recently I've been having some trouble while I'm dreaming lucid. I control the dream, up to a certain point where I just lose it all, and wake up, shaking, extremely scared. Here's my experience:

I'm dreaming, I know I am, I'm very much lucid. Different scenarios occur, but they all end the same way, I'm suddenly flying over the ocean. I enjoy it, but I don't know how I got here. Suddenly, I drop down. Something is dragging me down. I'm being pulled down faster and faster, into a bright pool of water, maybe an ocean. I struggle to get back up, but I just can't. I freeze. Beneath me there's a very dark hole, a hole I'm being pulled into, and for some reason, I'm scared as hell. I start to scream as loud as I can, I keep getting pulled in further and further, all light dissapears very slowly, and... I wake up. Shivering, not shouting. Scared, terrified. The fact that I'm aware of what's happening inside my dream, and that I'm in a dream, makes it only so much more terrifying.

Can anyone explain to me what this means? And what I can do? Do I let myself get carried in? In the end, it's just a dream...

If it were my dream, I wouldn't bother interpreting it, I would just turn direction and instead of trying to fly upward, zoom directly down as fast as I could into whatever force is pulling me back.

The black hole symbolism makes me think of 2 things - birth and the birth canal, and SPACE. Fear of space and expansion (actually, abject terror!) is very common. Breath, and attitudes of wonder, curiousity, and/or determination can transform the fear.
