Margit,
Swimming in a large body of water, especially if is black would represent a need/desire explore unconscious aspects in your life. You probably have been comfortable with your waking life, on the outside, but some new aspect has interpreted that peaceful tranquility. Enters your new partner.

Most often the inclusion of a young child would be focusing on early life experiences of the dreamer. Because the child is a boy the dream could be addressing an early life experience {possibly when you were six or seven} having to do with a male {possibly a boy, or perhaps an older male}. That experience was so strong it has remained within your deep unconscious {profound big black lake}. So much so it could be a governing force in your adult life, an unconscious influence that partially if not more so governs your waking life in some aspects.

The desperate need to look for that child {repressed early life experience} is now surfacing to conscious recognition. This is usual when one reaches mid-life and is part of the mid-life adjustment. The psyche naturally begins to seek, and remedy those out-of-balance parts of your life. If there are traumatic or unresolved emotional conflicts {as it seems to be in this dream} then the psyche will bring those emotions back to life either in your dreams or through other mechanisms such as conscious recollection. The unspeakable terror may not be so drastic as it sounds but a 'terror' because of a realization in your present life that is controlling and you have no control over. "something without form and name induced it and it has been" would be related to childhood experiences and may be addressing the 'induced' actions you display in your adult life.
