Dreaming about a pool that is deeper than it looked
What does it mean to dream a pool becomes very deep?
A recurrent impossibility and a workable dream sign: the depth changes, or the bottom is much further away than the pool could allow.
Dreamers report being able to see the bottom and then not, or swimming out and finding the floor gone. Several describe the water becoming open sea while the edges stay.
A pool is water with edges, and that containment is why pools are reported calmly where open water is reported with uncertainty. Removing the bottom removes the containment while keeping the appearance of it, which is why this version unsettles people so specifically.
Depth that will not hold is worth using as a check, in the same way hands and text are.
Where this reads well
A usable lucidity cue for anybody who swims in their dreams.
Where it is harder
The moment the bottom goes is described as sharply frightening, and it wakes people.
Worth asking yourself
Could I see the bottom? Did that change? Did the edges stay?
Dream interpretation is subjective. Nothing here is a diagnosis, a prediction, or medical advice.
