Maelstrom

To dream of a maelstrom means that trouble is brewing. It also could mean that you are drawing in trouble or negative situations by your actions.
If you dream that you are in the maelstrom then you may be caught in the middle of some sort of chaos or confusion.
If you are trying to rescue someone from a maelstrom then you are trying to help a person whose problems may be too enormous for you to handle alone.
