Then I was laying on my back on a weight bench pressing a huge weight. I lifted it several times and even when my arms were so exhausted and sore they felt like spaghetti, I could still manage one more.
Mum and I took the weights off the barbel one at a time and wrote down what they were (20lb, 29lb, 257lb) to see exactly how much weight I could bench press cos it looked like heaps. We couldn't decided if the weights were to be counted from both sides or if one side counted both weights of the same size. I had trouble mentally calculating the lbs into kgs, lol.

Next I was in a muddy river with several other people who seemed to be in teams but I was on my own. It was a competition to see who could swim down, find a set of keys then swim to a submerged car and open the door with one of the keys. There was lousy visabilty in the water and downstream a skeleton of a cow was half submerged and I was worried about floating near it although I knew it couldn't hurt me.

I think the first part has to do with trying to make sense of emotional chaos. (food=emotions and nachos lexis to "no chaos")

It is suggested that the "weight" which is upon you (probably emotional) is part of an "exercise" being orchestrated by your higher self, forcing you to make "mental calculations" which are no doubt without difficulty. It is about attaining a balance between logic and emotion, the mind and the heart. The weights from the dream add up to 2, which symbolizes conflict, and balance.

The muddy river symbolizes "murky" emotions which make it difficult to "see" the hidden aspects of your self, the obscured "vehicle" of growth, the other ways in which you can "travel" in life, which you need to "unlock", on your own.
