The other people are checking this pattern to get an impression of your life - like for example reading your "ident" as Robert Monroe would call it.
The pattern and embroidery generally here seem to relate to the concepts of "pattern", "message", "reading", "picture" - but it's unclear which it is. Over time your vocabulary for translating dream images might get clearer and then it becomes more obvious what is meant from the images in the very least.
This is likely a misunderstanding interfering with translating the scene - unless you live near an ocean and oceans feature for that reason in your dreams.
More archetypically, oceans are often planes - the body of any plane, like the astral or mental planes. The degree of immersion is typically how deeply your inner senses enter the plane. Swimming or diving is navigating that specific plane.
There's many reasons you might have seen her "stop breathing" - including her waking up and leaving the plane / not focusing in that body anymore (= being less alive in comparison but not dead, just unconscious towards this particular plane and its environs). Or this particular person was projecting from a higher plane and left their "sheath" on that plane behind when consciousness abandoned it.
But the general gist is "interacting with a large plane." Seeing the other share might relate to going to another plane (adjoining this one) and maybe you felt you are not currently able to access it (= "knew it was wrong").
The other swimmers might have also been projectors or dreamers navigating the plane or a similar simulation of navigating a plane.
