Pool Dream Meaning

Dreaming of a swimming pool usually means you are trying to keep control over feelings that do not like to be held in. Unlike the open water of a river or the sea, the water in a pool is held inside walls. So a pool dream often shows that you want to keep your emotions within a safe boundary.

• Clear blue water in the pool

  Your mind is fairly calm right now.

• Dirty pool water

  This speaks of a buried discontent that has not been settled yet.

• Swimming alone in a pool

  This speaks of self-reliance, and of needing a little time for yourself.

• Swimming in a crowded pool

  You are trying to fit in with the people around you.

• A pool overflowing or cracking

  The structure you have used to manage your feelings is no longer enough.

• Feeling like you are drowning in a pool

  Even a place that seems safe can sometimes leave you short of breath.

A pool dream reminds you that keeping your feelings within safe limits is good, but now and then you also need to leave the walls behind and swim in open water.
