Had a rather unusual dream last night: I found myself swimming at my dad’s local swimming baths, with him (as, in fact, I did the weekend before last for the first time in years – we used to do so weekly). The swimming was particularly easy going: I was going at a hell of a rate for very little effort. Later, I got out of the pool to go to the toilet, but was surprised to find that my urine was coming out in many very different directions and spraying all over the place. Eventually, I was able to deal with this by strategically standing in front of three urinals and having each stream caught by one. And that’s all I remember of it.
Really; kids – you don’t want to be in my head. I don’t get it, and you don’t too.
Swimming
To dream that you are swimming, suggests that you are exploring aspects of your unconscious mind and emotions. The dream may be a sign that you are seeking some sort of emotional support. It is a common dream image for people going through therapy.
To dream that you are swimming underwater, suggests that you are completely submerged in your own feelings. You are forcing yourself to deal with your emotional difficulties.
Urination
To see urine in your dream, signifies feelings you have rejected.
To dream that you are urinating, symbolizes a cleansing and release of negative or repressed emotions. Urination is symbolic of having or lacking basic control in your life.
To dream that you are urinating in public, symbolizes a lack of privacy in your affairs or your need to make a public apology or confession.
Hmm.
Or perhaps I just needed the toilet. I did drink a lot before going to sleep and woke up desperately needing the toilet.
Hmm. I thought the only thing dream interpreters could prove was that different images signify different things to different people. Unless you’re Freud. But we don’t count him…
