|  |     Hi,
    	I have some thoughts about your dreams.... I think that the
    significant theme is people from the past rather than the water. In
    both of the first two the people from the past are the threat, not the
    water. So because I don't know details of your life I will speculate
    about the meaning... Is there something in the past you are trying to 
    get away from... either on an emotional or physical level?? ie if
    you are making decisions now, are the decisions about career changes?
    If so, are you considering something really different? And do you feel
    particularly unhappy with your current career--- therefore the dreams
    are a reflection that you really are unhappy with that career in the
    past and those particular people (is it the same career you have today
    and are thinking about changing) and if this is so, is one of your
    problems with your current/past career that the people aren't honest
    or sincere and perhaps don't share the same values as you do?
    
    As for the dream about the apartment and the rising water and the
    fascination rather than fear.... I'll go further out on a limb here and 
    speculate that the changes in your life (one's being considered) really
    don't frighten you even though they may seem overwhelming... you are
    ready to move on and are really interested in changing... and the
    rising water may indicate that you're ready to walk away from the
    things in your life that are holding you back (sort of a cleansing of
    the soul??)
    
    	Well I hope none of this is too strange.. only good spirited
    speculation on my part... let me know what you think. If I'm way off
    I hope I spurred some thought that may lead you to the understanding
    you seek.

|  |     More thoughts after re-reading your entry.... it seems after reading
    the dream about the shark infested waters that perhaps it really is the
    people in your life (or past) that you are most unhappy with...
    because the water wasn't really bad, the people made it seem that way.
    so perhaps the career/situation wasn't bad but rather the people you
    worked with... if you are considering a career change or relocating to 
    where you came from before California, perhaps you need to consider the 
    people that you knew before and perhaps avoiding them in the future (if
    you return to the old career/location)
    
    	By the way, the current rains and flooding in California may be
    why the water is so prevalent in your dreams. Our dreams often are
    filled with details from what we see and hear in our everyday life..
    however, the messages we need to get are often intertwined and not
    related to the specific detail.
    
    		Look forward to your reaction...

    No, I did not drink any alcohol before bed.  The last time I had
    alcohol was some champagne on New Year's and even then only two
    glasses.  I'm really into healthy eating, exercising, not drinking,
    etc.  No pizza before bed either.
    
    re: .1 and .2 
    I did not want to put too many details of my life in here...would be
    too long...but yes yes and YES!  You certainly provided extremely
    accurate insight!
    
    Thank you for your input!
