driving dreams

I have a recurring dream where the scene but it is basically the same. I'm driving along a road adjacent to a calm sea. At a stage, the sea water covers the road. I have to drive through it to get to the other side of the road. Sometimes I see other cars crossing successfully. It looks like it isn't possible. I accelerate so that I can propel car and not sink car. Mostly I wake up during this part. I've never in the dream made it to the other side or sunk the car. Last night I had the same dream but my deceased father was driving and the distance that was covered was very far. We were practically driving with our car over the water.
Other info: ive had this dream quite a few times. im a female aged 33 in an executive position.
