boats on water but terrifying

when you're so lonely lying in bed, night's closed its eyes but you can't rest your head, everyone's sleeping all through the house, you wish you could dream but forgot to somehow,
sing this lullaby to yourself.

i had a weird dream last night. it was at my friends cabin, but kind of not, because the whole situation was different. it was a dark sort of dream. involving my worst fear, water. every year, we would go on this boat thingy in the middle of the ocean, it seemed, and we'd go through like an obstacle course kind of. and by the time we got to the end of it, a certain amount of us would be dead. so we'd start off with like 10 of us or so, and we'd be on the water, and it was night time and the boat would move uncontrollably with the slightest bit of wind. we'd start off nicely, and then there was this one part where everyone always fell off no matter what, and it happened every year, and they drowned. i was terrified, but i always made it to the end. all the time. and the boat would go up this waterfall at the end (yes, it would defy gravity), and then there was this fish tank thing, it was on the wall at the top of the waterfall, and there would be some sort of prize in the fish tank, and it would somehow just come out of the fish tank. i don't know. i have weird dreams.
i have a lot of dreams with boats and water in them though. and they're always terrifying, and people are always panicking. just thinking about my dreams right now, brings back a lot of really odd ones, where i was travelling underwater with some people to make it to some island or something. and there was this other one, where this ship was sinking and the boats around it were sinking too and it was just a complete riot.

i wonder what that means. boats on water, but the mood is really dark and panicky. i always wonder if dreams actually mean something, or if they're just everyday thoughts jumbled together to make really odd scenarios.
