The opening scene of the video for Puffy & Ma$e’s classic Can’t Nobody Hold Me Down shows Puff in some type of water tank, apparently fighting against drowning. Puff fights and fights, finally thrusting his head out of water victoriously, when he wakes from the dream to an upright position in bed. His phone is ringing.

In one of his books, Michael Jordan talks of a bad dream he would have during his playing days.
