Swimming

Swimming in a dream is a metaphor for maneuvering through emotional waking life issues. Is it easy or difficult? How is the water? Warm? Cold? Dirty? Water is a consistent metaphor for emotions in dreams.  Swimming comfortably underwater reflects easy access to subconscious feelings and awarenesses. The ability to breathe underwater reflects comfort in one’s emotional life.

Warning! Dreams of being underwater and short of breath are important warning signs that you may be experiencing difficulty breathing during sleep—a condition known as sleep apnea. If you snore and dream you are out of breath frequently, visit a sleep doctor immediately!  For more about sleep apnea, how it reveals itself during sleep and where to find a doctor specializing in sleep medicine in your area, click here.
