I'm on a raft in the water with small waves. I know I'm next and I'm going to die, but I'm not ready for it yet. A man sits on my raft and sits closer and closer to me until he pushes me off my raft and I fall into the water. On the raft behind me, a man sits on his own and I try to hold on a little, but I know I can't hold on to his. I let go of his raft, I let the water swallow me.
I'm at the very beginning of a new relationship that has a different dynamic than my previous relationships. I'm learning to be vulnerable and not to be distantly attached, but to let myself fully immerse myself emotionally in this new relationship.
What a striking dream! It feels very alchemical in nature due to the immersion and death by water. Have you watched the Alchemical Inner Work class on the 4 elemental operations? This dream is very much aligned with solutio - dissolution via water which often heralds the breaking down of old structures so something new can be born.

What catches my attention is the dream ego's initial resistance (clinging onto the raft) and then the letting go. That feels like a reflection of progress in shifting the behavioral pattern in your relationship. In that sense, the dream shows there is potential to keep developing these new dynamics (which will require aligned actions).
If water is also seen as a reflection of emotionality and relationships, there is a further layer of letting yourself be taken into that realm.
