My son and I were in a hotel. A tsunami hit and flooded the hotel. We scrambled to higher floors. We waited for help with other people. We started looking at even high floors and found food. We locked the doors. A rescue helicopter came. It could not fit us both. I told my son to close his eyes as it took him up. As he went up, another wave came and killed me. He survived.
This dream could potentially symbolize a feeling of being overwhelmed by a situation that you and your son are facing within your waking life. The tsunami could represent this situation, and the flooding of the hotel could signify the feeling of being trapped or surrounded by this issue. The search for higher floors and food could represent your efforts to find solutions or ways to cope with the situation. The rescue helicopter and not being able to fit both of you could symbolize the idea that a resolution may only come for one of you, while the other may have to continue struggling. The wave that killed you could symbolize a fear of not being able to see the situation through to the end and that, ultimately, there may be a price to pay for it.
