I'm plunging downward, feet first, through deep cloudy water. I can't even try to swim up toward the surface, as though I am immobilized and sinking. I'm getting more and more desperate for air, and hoping somehow that I will reach the bottom and be able to kick off it, but I just keep getting further and further down. I choke a little on the water, seeming to stop falling momentarily, then resolve again to hold my breath and go faster, deeper, hoping for the bottom.

No bottom arrives, and I realize I'm so far away from the surface that even if I kick off, I won't make it back to the top in time. I can't help it now, and I helplessly suck the unsatisfying water into my lungs and awaken drowning.

(One of the last thoughts of the evening, before I went to sleep, was about my song "Drowning", and whether it should be reworked and remade. It's a weird song, rather depressed and morose but intended to be blackly humorous, and I'm not sure if it's funny. Perhaps that's related?)
