Asking more for a dream interpretation?

I looked on a bunch of sites and most won't let you post if you're a new member or almost always, you have to pay to talk to a "dream interpreter" and who knows how well that might go.
So I ask here, where I've asked some weird stuff, but not really anything having to do with the subconscious, in all seriousness jokes aside, does anyone on here know anything about dreams and what meanings may go along with them?
If you do, or have had a similar dream or just feel upto giving your own personal insight, it would be much appreciated, now onto the dream.

Last night I had a dream about my dog, Lady. she died two years ago due to kidney failure, which was brought on by an arthritis medication sadly. The dream was, I was sitting in water, legs crossed, indian style *but not hovering over the water* just floating, half submerged in the water. It was dark and there was a Full Moon I remember, anyways I was on/in a lake I assume and the water looked really black, probably because it was night, lol. Then I see my dog, Lady, floating in the water, now mind you, neither I NOR my dog (believe it or not) cannot/could not swim, more unfathomable her, since she's a dog but I digress. I see her and swim towards and grab ahold of her, when I grab her, I realize she's dead. Now everything that was calm before is now chaotic, the water goes from still to waves crashing, yet I cannot speak, cry, move nothing. The moon disappears and I try to swim back to shore holding her, only now there's no shore. The waves are going like crazy, it's pitch black and it's raining like crazy with thunder, lightning, all that good stuff and now right where Lady and I are, there's a whirlpool, dragging us under, like when you pull the plug in a bathtub.

Now, nothing has really happened (that my conscious mind is aware of) no death date in sight looming, didn't see a dog that looked like her, didn't come across an old squeak toy, nothing. so why would I dream of a passed companion who died over 2 years ago? And she didn't even drown to death, so seriously, I can't wrap my mind round this one for sure.

Any ideas?

    Seeing as you both cant swim your subconscious(or maybe your dog in spirit) is trying to tell you that you would do everything you possibly can even risk your own life (drowning) to save your dog. And that at the end of the day you did all that you could do. And that even if you did something different it wouldn't have changed the outcome for the dog. And the waves crashing and no land symbolize that as well.

      probably so, the medication she took that caused her kidney failure was my decision, she was Tramadol for pain before that but they took tests on her kidneys and said they were in good shape and then suggested the drug that in rare cases could affect them, but lead me to believe there were no deaths, and because she had arthritis, I ultimately decided since her kidneys to begin with were good, to try the medication, 6 days later she suffered for about 24 hours and then died at the vet's office overnight, I have guilt and regret yet my rational side always takes hold because my intentions were good, it's just the outcome was bad.

        Blame the medicine or the vets, you had every good intention in trying to get your dog better.

    No where near as bad but à form of post-traumatic stress but it is only in your subconscious mind so it is not thought about during the day butwhile your asleep your mind just went back over it and relived-sorry if you take this the wrong way but-the experience where you were distraught but in dream form.

    I hope i helped because it feels good to help and because well... Im helping.

    I used to be really good at dream interpretation, but I haven't interpreted in awhile. I'll come to back your post.

    You still miss your dog. There's an emotional turmoil. A pool indicates your desire to be cleansed. You need to wash away the past.

    I look up my dreams on www.dreammoods.com
    It is a free site.
