This is a nightmare I had a few days ago. The disturbing part is that it felt 100% real.I'm in the ocean sitting in my car. No problems. It is submerged, but floating just beneath the surface and not leaking. To my amazement the car is more like a submarine because I'm steering as it moves forward. I have a sunroof. I look out to see the sky as small waves break overhead momentarily blocking my view. There are clouds not too far off in the distance, and I feel the urge to chase them. I am surprised how fast I'm going. I soon catch up to the clouds and it starts to rain.Before I know what's happening, my gut feels like I’m going over the first drop of a roller coaster. The sky is gone from the sunroof. It is replaced by an expanse of clear blue water. I realize I'm sinking, but it feels too fast. Like I'm getting pulled and accelerating downward. Time slows as I try to think what to do. I'm scared but barely able to keep it under control. I remember that I have to roll down the widows and equalize the pressure before I'll be able to open the door. It's getting darker and darker. That feeling of being dragged down won't go away.Time is inching forward and I note with amazement that nothing is leaking. I've convinced myself my plan will work and I'll be able to get out of the car. Then I noticed how dark it is outside. I remember that I'm out in the ocean and far away from land. Even if I make it to the surface, I'll tread water until I get too tired to go on. Then I'll drown. All I'd be doing is prolonging my agony.I stare out the sunroof as the light goes away. I wonder how much more pressure the windows can take before they implode. I hope they implode and not just leak. My stomach is in still in knots as I sit there and wait.
