A tiger and lion by a swimming pool

I saw a friend in a pool with clear blue waters freaked out because a tiger was up close to him but the tiger had a chain around its neck, while still looking at the event I jumped inside the pool and my friend pointed at me to look behind and I saw a lion up close but with a chain around its neck.

This vision speaks much of your current accomplishments as well as what you could accomplish in the near future should you put your mind to it. The friend in the pool of clear blue water that you later join represents the body of your present accomplishments. The water hides nothing, and it reveals all that you have sacrificed to get where you are in life. Possibly your friend helped you on this path or represents someone who mentored you along the way. The chained tiger and lion shed light on your future potential. While tigers and lions by themselves generally refer to negative possibilities, the idea that they were chained in this vision suggests you have things under control and can wield them to your advantage. If you unleash your full energy, you could be on a path to greatness.

Swimming pool in general

Dreaming about a swimming pool is a symbol of passionate love.

Just pray it will not happen.

The bottom of the indoor swimming pool

Indoor swimming pool

Found a child floating in a pool. Thought it was dead, removed the child and he was fine.

The ambivalence present in the dream furthermore indicates that it is not a good time for major decisions.

An alternative medicine, such as CBD oil or ayahuasca, could finally free you from the crutches of depression.

A gigantic swimming pool

Dreaming that you are in the middle of a gigantic swimming pool predicts a fateful meeting.

Swimming in a pool with fish

I saw I was thrown in a swimming pool by an unknown person and I was swimming in the pool. But I didn't like swimming because a lot of fish were swimming in the pool and I got out of the pool and a lot of fish were attached to my body.

A swimming pool in the dream world typically alludes to the notion of falling in love. You may find yourself head over heels in love with someone in reality.

In that sense, the fishes latching on to your body as you got out of the pool represent the negative consequences of your actions which you must deal with even after the passion has run out.

A skillful swim in a swimming pool

If you dream that you are swimming skillfully and showing off different strokes in a swimming pool, the way you would normally do in real life, you are likely being led to a death trap.

You have the gift of gab, a talent fit for film and radio voice-overs or suited to marketing or direct selling. You have something in you which you could utilize to develop a cottage industry or a successful niche business. For all the success it could bring, this dream reminds you to remain humble and grounded so you would not be the cause of other people's envy.

Draining a swimming pool

To dream that you are draining a swimming pool symbolizes lost opportunities.

In a swimming pool with ex-boyfriend

Me and my ex-boyfriend were at his house and he had a huge pool. I was just sitting in the pool and then he jumped in. We went underwater and were kissing. When we came back to the surface we were smiling at each other and then we got out of the pool. We went somewhere and his friends were saying that me and him really did make a good couple and that they are glad we are back together.

The dream about spending time with your ex-boyfriend in a swimming pool and enjoying every moment of it could be indicative of soon encountering a person whom you would find a lot in common with. You would be able to share you views, ideas and opinions without being misunderstood or unaccepted. At the same time, the vision of making out with your ex-boyfriend while being in the swimming pool could also indicate that the events leading up to this future encounter could be unexpected and surprising in their nature for you. In a sense, the image of your ex-boyfriend in this dream serves as your subconscious anticipation of meeting this new person you are about to cross your paths with.

Talking to a friend in a swimming pool

I had a dream where me and my boy best friend were in a square swimming pool talking, and then I was showering and he was there still talking to me, what does this mean?

Because you did not provide your gender, it is hard to come up with precise interpretation for this kind of a dream. In general, dreaming about you and someone you know closely being in a swimming pool or inside a shower symbolizes a complete transformation on your part. You could be well under way to becoming an entirely different person as a result of some significant changes in your life. It could be embracing a new belief, switching your support to a new group of people or even having shifting views in your sexual preferences. In any case, such a change could soon start affecting your personal relationships and your life in general.

A sea turning into a swimming pool

Dreamt about myself swimming in the sea and when I reached a certain point, the sea turned into a swimming pool with very clear blue water. It was as if the sea water and pool water were connected. Once I get to the pool, a man that currently has great interest in me is there with another woman and I wait for her to leave, when she leaves the pool, I immediately run into his arms. This man has dreadlocks, I'm not sure if that means anything as well.

This dream carries a very auspicious interpretation for your love life and relationships in general. Dreaming about swimming in large bodies of water, such as the sea and the swimming pool, often represent beneficial opportunities and lucky chances. This is usually associated with work and business, however, the subsequent symbol seems to link it more closely with your personal life. More specifically, the mutual interest between you and this man, manifested in your running into his arms, predicts going through a period of time which strengthens and fortifies your interpersonal relations. While this is important for familial relations and friendships, it can also be extremely beneficial to romantic interests as well.

Swimming pool changing from clean to dirty

I was in my apartment pool, it looked dirty black water with a dead pig from my side, but my brothers and others were swimming. I went inside the gates and it was clean and blue water and I started playing with them. I got pushed in and when I came out, the water turned dirty and the dead pig was there again. I started flying.

Both the image of dirty water and the dead pig are negatively charged symbols in the world of dreams. They suggest your daily existence could be plagued with problems and setbacks. These issues are likely the result of your own lack of preparation or effort, and they may be difficult to overcome on your own. This is opposed with the image of the pool filled with clear, clean water, a symbol often associated with success and self-fulfillment. Your subconscious may be giving you a glimpse of the happiness and prosperity you could experience if your work ethics were better. The pool reverting back to its original dirtiness, however, may indicate that you are not yet ready to make that change.

Having troubles while in a swimming pool

Going into a swimming pool and being trapped in a bear trap and then being attacked by a shark and then saved by someone.

Dreaming about swimming and being trapped underwater in the process could symbolize great difficulties to be faced in the near future. You may find yourself in a situation filled with problems and obstacles which you may not be able to overcome on your own. A task or project you are presently trying to complete could prove to be futile as you would not be able to act appropriately under pressure. If you are unaware of anything around you starting to become complicated at the moment, it could intensify the magnitude of feeling helpless in the future.

Dirty swimming pool

In the dream realm, a dirty swimming pool is a metaphor for your emotional state or current life situation. The unclean condition of it represents unresolved issues or emotional problems you're experiencing. Although, it suggests the need to clean up and address these feelings or activities to feel protected and spiritually balanced as water often symbolizes the subconscious.
