What does it mean to dream about a pool? |

Dreaming of a swimming pool can symbolize emotions that have lost their natural expression. As water is related to the context of emotions, the pool, as it is not an unnatural construction, can represent feelings forged by the dreamer.

Check out more details below to help you better understand what you dreamed of.

Reflect on the context of dreaming about a pool

How is this pool? How does the dreamer relate to her? In what context does it appear in the dream? It’s full? Is it deep? What’s inside it? Does the dreamer dive in or just gaze? What emotions are evoked in contact with this symbol?

Reflect on what the unconscious may be signaling when dreaming of a pool

Do I contain my emotions naturally or do I force myself to contain them? Do I feel full or empty? Do I express my emotions in depth or do I stay on the surface of events? Do I immerse myself in my experiences or observe them from afar, without getting in touch with them? What kind of emotions do I need to contain or express?

Understand possible applications of dreaming about a pool:

Dreaming of having fun in the pool

Dreaming of a swimming pool in a fun context, in which one dives, may indicate that the dreamer is available for pleasurable experiences or needs to experience them. Diving is getting in touch with these emotional experiences.

Dreaming that the pool is empty

A shallow or empty pool can suggest scarcity or “drying up” of experiences and emotions. It may indicate a certain apathy or impoverishment of reactions to life.

Dreaming that the pool is dirty

A dirty pool or one full of mud can indicate that the dreamer’s emotions are clouded and it is impossible to see what is deeper and contained.

Dreaming that the pool is overflowing

An overflowing pool can indicate that the formatting of emotions forged by the dreamer is no longer enough, and that it is necessary to expand them. Sometimes, the overflow points to a certain emotional lack of control or a subject that comes to the surface and completely destabilizes the dreamer.

Context behind the fun

Swimming pools are closely associated with fun and fellowship and can be shallow, deep, clean, dirty, large or small, full or empty. However, it is worth remembering that they, like dams and weirs, are dammed water, contained and often with a pre-defined format.

Restrained water can represent restrained, disciplined, or controlled emotions. Unlike a river or the sea, the pool is an unnatural construction; it is forged and made with synthetic materials, according to a plan. This idea symbolizes emotions that are forged and polished and that can lose their natural expression.

In the sense of fun, the pool can represent refreshment or a place for swimming, games and games. It is up to the dreamer to connect with his experiences in order to better understand his own dream. A swimming pool may also not only contain water; it could be full of insects, fish, frogs, mud or even lava, which certainly changes the understanding of the dream.

There are natural pools in nature, and they can also appear in dreams, but the containment is not artificial or contrived; it is spontaneous. Such information must also be considered.
