Dream interpretation about Drowning, Screaming, Family, Beach, Running, Waves

I have a recurring dream every few months or so, sometimes a few nights in a row. It’s me at the beach with people, most often my family. The beach is strangely sloped and quite steep so that when you’re by the water you have to walk upwards from it to exit the beach. Often it begins with fun but then a wave comes towards us and we jump it. Then more waves start coming and they get higher and higher and everyone starts running up the beach but there’s a barrier of sorts all along the top of the beach. I always run and grab my little sister and throw her towards the top and try to keep her from drowning. The waves get bigger and taller and everyone is screaming and there’s people falling in and I lose track of where my parents are and only focus on my sister. The dream never lets me know if we survive or not, I usually just wake up at some point when the water is high. Sometimes I go back to sleep to try and save us or to find out but I never have found out.
