Psychology
Being rescued shows the mind noticing you carry more than you can hold alone, and it reflects trust in people who support you. Whether you accepted help easily shows how well you let yourself lean on others.
Folklore and history
Japanese faith has long cherished Jizo, the bodhisattva said to appear in humble forms to save those in need; a well-known tale tells of roadside Jizo statues repaying a man who covered them with hats in the snow. Being rescued in a dream is a lucky sign of support.

This site's view
In this site's view, could you see your rescuer's face? A familiar face is a sign you may lean on them in life; a faceless helper hints at support yet to come; someone who has passed may mean their care still watches over you.
Going deeper: our reading
Saying "help me" in trouble takes more courage than we expect; not wanting to be a burden or seem weak makes us hesitate to call out. In this site's reading, this dream divides on whether you managed to call for help. If you shouted for help yourself, your reluctance to lean on others is loosening. If you could not make a sound yet someone noticed, the mind senses there are people watching over you without needing words. This is our speculation, but forgetting to thank your rescuer may reflect gratitude for support mixed with unease about owing something. If, after being rescued, you went on to help someone else, you are finding your place in a circle of mutual support. If you were rescued in a familiar house or town, the people connected to that place may be your support.
What to do on waking
Tell someone you trust about one thing you carry; leaning on others is the step the dream suggests.
