You may have taken on too much responsibility.
Your dream is telling you to ask for help from others.

If you dream that you are absorbed in something, it can be a message that you need to be more focused and concentrate more on achieving your goal, or it can mean that you are too focused, and you need more variety in your life.
Absorption is usually related to items like sponges or kitchen towels, soaking up water and spills etc. Absorption is also related to education, absorbing information that we are told or taught. It is also a word related to being engrossed in something, absorbed in a good book or movie – almost becoming part of the story.
Knowing these things one can extrapolate that something being absorbed in our dreams could suggest we need to soak up more of whatever it is in the dream, if the feeling is positive. Or that we are absorbing too much of a thing if the dream has negative connotations.
If we find ourselves being absorbed into something larger and comfortable in our dreams it can signify a need to be part of something larger than oneself. However, if the absorption is unpleasant in our dreams it could mean that we’re feeling overwhelmed by real-life circumstances and we need to step back and find ourselves again.
