Dreamt of two pools. Seems we were all asked to choose between these two pools. My first instinct was to choose the one on the right. The normal pool, the one with water is on the right. The other one may not even be filled with normal water, in fact may even be mercury but it was clear and transparent and I can see the bottom of both pools, it was so clear. My first choice was correct, I chose the one on the right. Chose normal water. I was okay when I went in. I then saw a person went into the left side and dropped down to the bottom rather heavily. She was slumped down and didn’t move much and it seems like it is hard to get out of it. And we realised how deep that pool actually is! The pool with normal water was not deep at all, maybe only waist deep. Then for some reason, I went into the mercury pool on the left and dropped to the bottom. Looked up and it was far to go up. Saw the lights through the water but felt like it was deeper than I previously thought. Tried to swim up but there was some kind of resistance to my movement? I was like shit, how am i going to swim up and get back up? It's tough. But I pushed through and it was hard but I did it and swam up and i was relieved and when i was close to the top, I think people pulled me up and out of the pool. It’s possible to get out, I found i CAN breathe under that and didn’t die and that I am strong enough to swim up quite easily after pushing thru a bit. It wasn’t even as hard as I thought it would be…I realized how strong I was while swimming up!
This dream seems to reflect a situation in your waking life where you have been faced with a choice between two options. The pools symbolize the choices available to you. The normal pool, with clear water, represents a familiar and safe option. Your instinct to choose this pool suggests that you tend to gravitate towards what is familiar and comfortable. The other pool, filled with mercury but appearing clear and transparent, represents a more risky or uncertain option. It may signify a tempting but potentially dangerous choice. The person who went into this pool and struggled to get out represents the risks and difficulties associated with this option. This could be a warning to be cautious and consider the potential consequences before pursuing a less conventional path. However, your decision to eventually venture into the mercury pool suggests that you have a sense of curiosity or a willingness to embrace challenges. Despite the resistance you faced while swimming up, you discovered that you were stronger than you thought and managed to overcome the obstacles. This part of the dream emphasizes your personal strength and resilience in dealing with difficult situations. Overall, this dream indicates that you are capable of making choices and navigating through challenges successfully. It encourages you to trust your instincts and believe in your abilities to overcome obstacles, even in unfamiliar or challenging circumstances.
