What does a dream about a lake mean?

Question

Last week I had a dream that I can't forget about. I dreamed that I was driving around or through a school and I went over one street that went over a lake. The street was crumbling and I was worried that I would fall into the water. The lake looked green and dirty, but when I looked closer I realized it was extremely clear and the color was caused by a thick layer of leaves on the bottom. It frightened me to be able to see to the bottom.

I went into the school and complained to the principal about the road. I told him how dangerous it was that anyone could fall into the lake with the crumbling road and I demanded that he fix it.

I should add that I am currently working for a county park with a large lake for recreation. It is a seasonal job and next week I will be starting a new job.

Answer 1

Water in dreams often symbolizes emotions.  The fact that this lake at first looked green and dirty, but on closer examination was discovered to be clear could mean that you are trying to hide your emotions on some subject, but in fact they are crystal clear.  It could also mean that you are not comfortable exposing your emotions, and seeing them exposed (the clear lake you could see all the way to the bottom of) made you uncomfortable, uncomfortable enough that you went to an authority figure (the principal) and demanded he do something about it.  

The crumbling road might indicate you are losing ground in your struggle to contain or ignore your emotions.  Or it could mean that someone is about to break through and gain access to your emotions even though you've tried to hold them at arms length.  

Regardless of what the two idiots above me said about drowning, that is NOT what this dream means, so don't worry about that.

Answer 2

You are probably going to drown

Answer 3

I think your dream is trying to tell you that you are going meet or experience something that is not as horrifying as it seems.  The fact that you were scared at first and the water only seemed to be dirty and yucky at first and then turns clear means to me that things are not always what they seem.  And its something you are going to over come with a sense of accomplishment....when you told the principal to fix it.

The road cracks under all of us sometimes it's what you do to keep your head afloat that counts.  What ever is coming your way just remember your more powerful then you think. Congrats on the new job!

Answer 4

It means you're going to drown in 7 days.

Answer 5

Lake

To see a lake in your dream, signifies your emotional state of mind. If the lake is clear and calm, then it symbolizes your inner peace. If the lake is disturbed, then you may be going through some emotional turmoil.

Answer 6

Your dream is probably just a reflection of the anxiety of starting a new job, expressed through the lake at your current one. It is pretty exciting starting a new job :)

Answer 7

It might suggest your state of mind.  Clean water lakes mean you feel good about youself.  

Dirty water lakes are the opposite.
