I keep having this dream though there are variations of it. It always starts that I want to go swimming and I look at the pool (sometimes it's one I know, like my grandparents pool, my friends apartment or my old school pool, other times its a pool I have never seen) and it's somehow gross, dirty, noisy crowded or somehow annoying. Sometimes the water is gross or murky, other times it's just full of screaming bratty kids and mean people. The annoying factors vary a lot from dream to dream but similar scenarios. I always feel this sense of being really mad and annoyed, not scared, just really mad like I hate the place (the pool, people, whatever) and I have this urge like "I have to get out of here!" and I run away somewhere.
Then it gets weird. I always find a path, or stairs or like a forrest or somewhere leading to a NEW pool. I run (or even ride a bike) down this path (or walking up stairs cut into a mountain) It's always like a secret pool that nobody knows about but me (sometimes I have a good friend or my older sister with me) and it's empty and serene and beautiful and clean. The dream always end with me going swimming and feeling nice and relaxed. Sometimes I am alone but if I am with people, it's always just a few (like 2-3) and it's people close to me.
What does this mean? I have had this dream like over 100 times, I swear, since I was 10. I am 13 now btw. I also moved from a small town in Idaho to a big city in California. My mom says it's stress from moving, facing a new school and kids and city life. I tried to tell her though I HAD THE DREAM BEFORE! Like I had it before I moved over the summer, even when I lived in Idaho.
I can't think of any reason for the dream. My life is ok, like never abused or anything like that. My dad in Idaho was poor and I was really unpopular in school. I am afraid of that happening here in California but WHY the same dreams? They stopped for a while when I moved but then came back. School is starting in a month and this dream is happening more! What does water mean? What does a dirty pool mean? What does a nice, beautiful pool mean? What the heck could this dream mean? Seriously I am getting freaked about it. I have had it so much. It MUST mean something!
