Interpretation 1 — Pamela Ball

1- A puddle, being a smaller amount of liquid than either a pool or lake, can nevertheless have the same significance. When one appears in a dream we arc becoming aware of our emotions and the wav we handle them.

2- How we deal with the puddle may be important.

If we mop it up, we are trying to re-absorb emotion that we may feel to be inappropriate.

If we leave it, we probably need other people to recognise either our, or their, emotions.

3- Esoterically, a puddle can be used for scrying that is, looking into the future as though into a magic mirror.

To be looking into a puddle may be trying to decide what future action needs to be taken.

Interpretation 2 — Martha Clarke

If you are splashing in a puddle it marks the enjoyment of those pleasures which later bring you problems. Conversely, to avoid one without getting wet indicates the ability to overcome dangers while keeping calm. To see your own reflection in a puddle predicts quick economic gains; to fall in one, serious setbacks; and leaving a puddle after being soaked, the end of annoyance.
