I’ll go with the first answer. Actually when I was little, I had a dream and in that dream I was in my school bathroom, doing number 1 and when I woke up…well…you know…
Other wise, I DON’T KNOW.

I used to dream all the time about being in deep pools or falling in pools, and now I have a wet clothing fetish, I have to get in a pool or shower or tub clothed, it’s like part of my life now.

ANXIETY. Not necessarily to do with water, pools or drowning.( Especially, since you haven’t got this problem.) The water or what it symbolizes, won’t hurt you if you are capable and strong enough to swim through. What does the large, deep pool mean to you? The answer could be that it is beyond your comfort level. You are in the pools, already. You have only to choose whether you will get out or get across. I think you can do it, whatever you get yourself into.

I’m no dream interpreter but here’s my take on it.

What is constant about your dream is that you are always in it. The fact that you’ve been having similar dreams means you are in a situation that doesn’t seem to be changing any time soon. So it must mean this is about your life and some circumstances you’ve faced over the years.

You cling to the edge of the pool but do not venture out. So the task seems too big or overwhelming to you. Yet when you leave the ledge and swim alone in the deep pool that ledge of security is gone and there is much insecurity and risk and much less certainty. What you experience in that deep pool when you are out there is normal. Everyone has those fears and anxieties. The good thing is that you never drown in it so you are a survivor and you’ve found a way to resolve the situation.

The fact that you are not afraid of swimming pools and that you’ve taken scuba diving to conquer your fear of swimming in the water is great.

Since the dreams seem to be about your present circumstance. I’d change the circumstance If I were in the deep like that and alone like that. That’s right you can change your dream. I’d look for another swimmer under there to help them or or they can help you out. A network of friends well take a lot of fear and anxiety out of a hard and uncontrollable situation.

I said you can change the dream because my son when he was young had a recurring nightmare about a wild pig that was attacking him. I told him son, kill the pig and feed the family. He did that and no longer had that dream.

Gotcha…
I think you are afraid of getting drowned and this scuba thing was just and effort by you to minimise your fear… and I afraid you were not upto it and that made the situation even worse…

Its a real psychological problem, “The best way to kill your fear is to do the thing you’re afraid of.”, someone said.
So just try to satisfy your mind that you’re not going to die in that way… and if the problem persists, do call a psychologist…

well, i think it can mean either 3 things:

1. you have to go to the bathroom
2.you are scared of something in your life and are afraid of drowning in this large swimming pool.
3.you are having a good life and are relaxing in this swimming pool.

lets hope for #3!

isn’t water supposed to represent Money?

Maybe you will win the lottery.

Seriously. you may have entered a phase in your life where you feel overwhelmed by something. Maybe you should try taking some time out, if you can.

Do a bit of meditation or Yoga. You need to unload some of your negative energy.

I usually go for a swim… no pun intended. Try writing the feelings down.

To dream that you are swimming in a pool, denotes much luck in love. In general, dreams of swimming indicate an exploration of your unconscious mind and emotions. It is a common dream image for people going through therapy. To dream that you are teaching someone to swim, signifies that you will be blessed with good fortune.
To see a pool of water in your dream, denotes that you will find much happiness and pleasure in love and marriage. Your social life will keep you busy.

The way you share experience with other people or are involved with other people. It therefore often refers to relationships with others, especially the aspect of relationship where feelings or influence permeates you from the people you are mixing with.

The swimming pool may also represent the magical inner world of your own mind, fantasy and imagination, especially in relationship with other people

Wanting more freedom, more space for yourself, and more experiences, even if some of them are scary
