Pool dream meaning is explained below using 23 different sources. Each interpretation is shown with its source.

Interpretation 1 — Pamela Ball

also see Water

Dreaming of a pool deals with our need for the understanding of our own emotions and inner feelings.

A pool in a wood, for instance, would suggest the ability to understand our own need for peace and tranquillity.

An urban swimming pool might signify our need for structure in our relationships with other people, whereas a pool in the road would suggest an emotional problem to be got through before carrying out our plans.

In order to understand ourselves we may need to explore the pool by totally immersing ourselves in it, that is, to become involved in our own emotions. How we deal with what arises (in more senses than one) will teach us a lot about ourselves.

The pool may suggest a form of cleansing, particularly of old traumas and emotions or of past misdeeds.

The most potent image of that is baptism by immersion.

3- There is a meditation or guided imagery technique which can enhance one’s ability to dream. First, you picture yourselves walking in a field. Feel the grass beneath your feet and the wind on your face. Walk towards a slight dip in the ground which is to your left. At the bottom of this dip there is a pool which is surrounded by trees. Sit quietly by the pool, simply thinking about your life. When you are ready, stand up and walk into the pool very slowly. Feci the water rising slowly up your body until you are immersed completely. At that point let go of all the tensions of the everyday world and concentrate on the peace which is within. Then slowly emerge from the pool, and again sit quietly beside it. When you arc ready, walk back to the point in the field where you started, and let the image fade. By practising this, gradually it will be found that the dream images take on a deeper meaning.

Interpretation 2 — Pagan - Anonymous

If you should have a dream that features you as a pool player this is a warning that you should cultivate new friendships and stop running with the same old crowd.

A pool of water in a lovely garden shows that you will have much success in love and marriage; a swimming pool indicates that you will enjoy many social gatherings with good friends. Of course, you must examine each aspect of the dream and if you are less than happy, or your life is threatened, then you must take everything to the opposite of what is written above concerning a pool of water.

Interpretation 4 — myjellybean

To see a swimming pool full of water in your dream is lucky, symbolizing that you will find much happiness and pleasure in friendship, love and marriage.

An empty pool means trouble in love and friendship, or that you are not feeling enough affection in your life.

If the pool contained muddy or dirty water, you are wallowing in your negative emotions. You need to devote some time to clarify your mind and find inner peace. This dream may also suggest that your thinking and/or judgment is unclear and clouded.

Interpretation 5 — Dream Explanations - Anonymous

Dreams of a pool represent your depth; your inner pool of wisdom.

If the pool is shallow, then this denotes that you have yet to swim in the deeper regions of your subconscious mind.

If the pool is deep, then you have taken the time to understand and explore the vastness of your being.

If you are taking a swim in a pool, then you are allowing yourself to be immersed in your fantasy world, intuition, and spiritual, sensual essence.

Interpretation 7 — James R. Lewis and Evelyn Dorothy Oliver

A pool contains water, which can symbolize emotions or the realm of the unconscious mind. Unlike the ocean, however, a pool of water is more manageable, more domesticated, and thus easier to deal with. Dreaming about a pool could be alluding to these meanings, though it could be something simpler, like relaxing around a pool or around a pool table. Yet another meaning of this term is “pooling” resources.

For many people swimming pools are associated with summer fun, vacations, rest, and relaxation. Interpret your dream based on its content and see if any these positive feelings are being conveyed to you. All bodies of water represent our emotions and unconscious.
