When The Truck Went Under

I had a dream two weeks ago. There was a man sitting in an old truck in the middle of a lake with the window down and I got to see the whole thing from my house overlooking the lake. The truck wasn't completely underwater, yet, but I remember thinking it was weird seeing a guy with a truck in the middle of a lake. So, to reiterate.

Guy in truck.
Truck in lake.
Me in house.
House overlooking lake.
Me watching guy in truck.

I remember being with my family in the kitchen and once I saw the truck I really kept my eyes on it wondering what was going to happen next. Dreams are hard to remember but what I do remember was the truck was filling up with water by slowly going over the open window.

Then all of sudden the guy drove the truck and it went completely underwater. It was like the truck went over a cliff on the bottom of the lake. Bubbles came up from underwater and then it hit me that this guy wanted to commit suicide. Then someone on the other side of the lake screamed for help.

When the truck went underwater, and this is where I feel bad, I paused. I hesitated and I am not sure whether it was out of shock or out of compassion. Amongst the screams of terror from across the lake I was not sure what to do. I mean, this is what he wanted, this is the way he wanted to go. Who was I to stop him? I hesitated, and then went into adrenaline mode. I ran outside, jumped over a railing, sprinted over some walking stones, and dove into the water.

I should let you know, I am a terrible swimmer. I actually can't even dive well, or hold my breath for that long, but this is a dream, so I could do those things.

I dove into the water, found the truck after a bit of swimming and felt around for the door handle. I knew the window was open so I unlocked the door from the inside. I then looked at the guy, and here is where it gets fuzzy on the details, but I can't remember whether he was passed out or fighting me from saving him. I unlatched his seat belt and either got him out of the door or through the window.

Then I woke up, back to reality. I'm not sure whether I saved his life or even got him above water.
