Dream:

i was submerged in the grossest body of water ive ever witnessed. i couldnt see very far ahead of me. i couldnt find a way out. i was swimming upwards for ages, but i never broke surface. i was drowning. i was panicking. out of the murky depths, a figure was quickly approaching. it was frank iero. he swam up to me, and hugged me. he was comforting me. and despite being underwater, he was bone dry. after a far too short amount of time, he let go, and swam off in the direction from which i came.
i was left suffocating.

What I think it means:

i need to stop relying on people who wont realistically make a difference, in terms of my mental health. did i feel safe when he was hugging me? yes. but, did he actually help me at all? no, he didnt. still, he didnt do me any harm. i think relying on music to help my mental health isnt the most beneficial, but relying on it for comfort is fine. and i dont think this dream is telling me not to look for outward help at all. just to be aware of what is improving my mental health in the long-run, versus whats is providing temporary relief. i can continue to turn to music for consolation, but i should also have things that offer real progress, like floaties.
