Like all bodies of water, the pool has associations with emotions, although in this case it takes on the symbolism of how emotions are ‘being contained.’ Because it is maintained and kept clean, it can portray a clinical approach to feelings. If the pool is dirty or contains what shouldn’t be there, it can be a message about a situation that is making you feel ‘dirty,’ like the feelings of uncontrollable sexual urges. You may need to ‘dive in’ to the unconscious represented by the pool and retrieve what is valuable about you.
