Living through fear in dream

[Akeia]

We were in the city. It was a little away from it actually. Me and my grandmother. We needed, to see something what was higher of our vision , so i needed to climb something to see it from high.
I noticed a tree , or it was grandmother and we went to it. There were some children playing and climbing its branches, those were weird branches, because there was a main stem ( tree) and two branches went straight from the ground a little more further from it. I went to climb that tree and saw there are tree branches, on the bottom of the tree like a steps, but safe ones, so i climbed on the first.
The next thing i remember was me standing on that branch with a one leg and having so bloody fear of falling down. That was felt all throgh bones. I was so afraid to fall, to even move that i stood like frozen. I was afraid if i move somewhat wrong i would fall back. I noticed that the tree was not standing on the ground, but on the little island, which was surrounded by water. At first water was just like a little barrier from the earth, but then it went from that to whole sea or pond or something like that. Then i woke up. But those fear were so freakin big, that i now can feel them still, if i think of that dream.
Maybe it was releasing of my fear in dream and now i am almost sure that in my previous life i have drowned. That's why i have those fear from it and that's why water appeared in my dream.

I would agree that you are working out your fears in your dreams. It's a safe place to do so.

The fear of falling and drowning in the dream could be a waking fear of a situation you will not be able to handle, physically and emotionally. The emotions because bodies of water in dreams often represent the emotions.

Perhaps you are emotionally isolated from people and fear some kind of committment. The fact that you are surrounded by water on an Island suggests this.

Very good things to think about, mandala.

Thank you all for your input in this.

We have remodelling in our house, the second floor and we have stairs there. Margins ( or how they are called) are taken off and there is no place to hold at when you step down and at the first moment i was quite uncomfortable going down without holding anywhere, but now after that dream i walk down freely, just noticed that some time ago that i do not have this scary attitude to this thing.
Maybe this was living through fear of falling so i would be okay with that in life, but i think that more or less it is about all possibilites you all said. There could be many meanings to this dream, but who said that those all could not be right, at least in some way?

Thanks again, a lot!
