Dreaming about having to swim from an island?

Question

So in this dream, I was on a sand spit, no trees, no food, no fresh water. There was an island in the distance that was much larger and much nicer looking. So I had nothing to build a raft with, so I swam for it and then the alarm went off...

Answer 1

Water in dreams is related to emotions, an island is surrounded by water.  It would seem to me that you are going from one emotionally cut off situation into another.  The second one seems to be a better bet, but there will still be similar issues.
