Pls help interpret a disturbing short dream without giving away the relationship of those in it?

Question

3 people (A,B,C) in the dream. In real life, me (A) knows all 3. A & B communicate often while A rarely ever communicates w/C. B & C don't know each other. Here's the dream: We are walking around a beautiful crystal clear sparkling blue lake on a nice day. This lake is oddly placed in the middle of my urban busy part of town. A & B are walking together; C is just there off to the side walking along. Suddenly B pushes A (me) in the lake and then also jumps in. Then B swims up to the top. When I get pushed in I'm not sure if it's for fun or if it's to be mean. & I can't swim up to the top. I just slowly sink down, watching the sun through the water above me getting further away. I'm sinking down into this abyss, I can't hold my breath any more, I feel desperate, panicked, terrified, grief stricken & completely astonished as to why this is happening. & I don't know if B is wondering why I don't come up or if they knew I would sink. Before I drown I wake up terrified. Thoughts please?! Thx

It seems like you (A) and B have a good relationship, but B might be moving forward into a part of life you cannot or do not want to move into.  This dream has B pushing you into a lake i.e. making you 'jump into the deepend' of an issue that is too much for you.  They want you to be able to move on, but you can't quite do it.

In the dreams, all of the characters are really you.  B is you wanting to move on and this part of you is pushing forward the part of you that stays back.  You are overwhelmed by something and you can see how to get out of it, but something is holding you back.

I don't know what C is doing there - because you only mention C at the beginning. Does B swim to C or is C left behind too?
