Could someone please interpret this because I'm very worried about it (which is probably stupid but I just need some sort of reassurance)
My friend told me that she had a dream that I was going near some body of water to look at my own reflection and a snake came out of the water and dragged me in and I drowned.
I'm just really worried about it because I'm going to the shore in less than 1 week and now I'm hesitant about going near water (I'm superstitious I guess).
Bodies of water represent emotion, and snakes represent life, both the good and the bad. The snake drowning you in the water could be the dream saying symbolically that "your life is you being suffocated by your emotions".
DROWNING : Drowning can suggest that you are overcome by an issue. It symbolises a sense of powerlessness and often a lack of control. So look for issues which are dogging your mind that leave you with that sense of powerlessness.
KEY WORDS(Try to spot these quotes in your own feelings - especially think of the day before) :
- "unable to cope"
- "overwhelmed"
- "lacking the ability"
- "having absolutely no control over it"

Dream don't predict the future, they represent how the dreamer feels inside. You might not even represent yourself in that dream, it could be your character quality.
Definitely water represents emotion, and the snake may be distrust. You looking in to see your reflection sounds narcissist, and the drowning suggest being overwhelmed by your own emotions.
Well, personally I take more of a literal approach to "interpretation," whereby just about everything that you see in your dreams is a result of what you see and experience in real life. Just recently I saw a snake near where I live and then several nights later dreamed that it was in my house. It's possible that the same thing happened, or he saw one on TV or overheard a conversation about one. As for the dreams I've had where water has been involved, nearly every time there's a large body of water, there's been some kind of competition. And I don't know what could have triggered those.
I wouldn't worry about it. Just last night I dreamed that my sister's heart stopped, but I know that the likelyhood of that happening is very, very slim. If you want to be more cautious around water, then there's no harm in that, but it doesn't do to go around all the time thinking you could kick the bucket. You'll miss the ride that way :)
Hey, I may not be an expert on dream interpretation but to ask the audience, why has the friend dreamt this? Is she worried about him, maybe, and feels he is losing control or being overwhelmed by his emotions? It might not be HIM actually losing control but the friend worrying that he might, or losing control OVER him, etc?
just some ideas...
