Lagoon and Lake
The inner world of our feelings and fantasies; the unconscious. The mysterious waters are a powerful symbol of female sexuality, especially if the dreamer is male.
Sinking into: Becoming introverted; giving up on trying, or expressing oneself.
Looking into depth: Self awareness; looking into oneself.
Dirty water: Difficult feelings; being unsure of oneself; depression. See: water.
Drowning in a lagoon: Can indicate sexual difficulties. But it more likely shows the dreamer finding it difficult to deal with a rush of fantasies or feeling of losing touch with reality.
Example: I am watching a dirigible (blimp) full of people in the gondola trying to escape. It is shot down over a lake. I have a lot of problems getting through the soldiers who are surrounding this lake. Finally I succeed and I see that they are pumping the water out of the lake to get to a truck full of gold down at the bottom. When they have finally succeeded I realize that only a few people must have died as there are few or no signs of death around the scene.
This illustrates that deep within us in our unconscious is a great treasure if we are not afraid of death and can dive deeply into ourselves.
Example: I realise this was my place with them, to help them understand themselves.
They then asked me if I would get some water for them, as there was no water in the house. To get water one had to wade into the middle of the lake. They explained that only in the middle was the water suitable to drink. Even in the middle it looked murky, but I thought we could boil it. I waded in and suddenly realised that something strange was happening. Visions or hallucinations occurred stronger and stronger the further one went into the lake. I also realised that all the others had been in the lake and immersed in the visions. As I pressed on I knew that most people became so involved in the visions they lost grip of their purpose to walk on. I had the visions, but found I could maintain the decision to go forward – i.e. most people lost sight of physical surroundings and became absorbed in the visions.
The dream shows that because the dreamer was willing to help and because he could face his own inner difficulties, he could pass through the usual fantasies and neurotic influences and get the precious water.

Katherine – The connection with suicide and a Catholic church in a dream is a sure sign that you have a mental association or ideas about suicide. Not that you are suicidal, but dreams create stories, not with words, bit with images and drama – like a mime.
I also wonder whether you are a student, or suffered difficulties, like losing confidence while a student.
The Catholic view of suicide is that it is a huge sin – yet sin and guilt were not mentioned in earliest view of God and religion. Certainly cause and effect were – sew what you reap. But that is true of daily life.
Don’t let fears or being bothered by such ideas stop from living your best – but not in a competitive way, just by being your amazing self. http://dreamhawk.com/dream-encyclopedia/going-beyond/

Ivan – Filming in dreams is usually about recording or remembering something important. In the case of the dream, a breakthrough to the beginning of entrance to a dimension of your mind not explored before – the clear lagoon.
We constantly live as if swimming easily or even floating on the surface of a magnificent ocean. Most of us are completely unaware of the amazing depths beneath us. The ocean is our mind, and we usually only see what our physical senses show us – many modern physicists, working with the information arising in experiments with quantum theory, tell us that our view of the world is based upon our blindness, and is very limited, and through its limitation, unreal. The implications of the theorem are enormous. Something can be in two places at once, in fact everywhere at the same moment. Apparently distant objects, or people, are intricately linked in an immediate way. There is no separate existence as we previously thought. Our view of the world is not one supported by the facts of physics. Time and space are transcended.
Entering the lagoon in dreams represents breaking through the illusion we live by and enter a larger w
world. See http://dreamhawk.com/inner-life/extending-your-awareness/
But your dream showed you only at the beginning of exploring the hugeness you are. See http://dreamhawk.com/news/there-is-a-huge-change-happening/
I wasn’t asleep, but I had a vivid experience that I dove down and pulled my friend out of a lagoon. The water was calm but evil and green.
I love her. I hugged her and loved her. I could feel her hair on my real face as I hugged her.
Then the experience was over and when I tried to go back I fell asleep. In my dream she spoke to me and seemed happy.
In real life she is always smiling and happy but not so secretly afraid of my love.
Hi Tony, can you give me a clue what is the meaning of this dream:
I was in a lake. Beautiful lake with sparkling snow. I met someone there (who I ever met in real life for a glance). Then after long time I dreamed again the same. Lake, but a green lake, with him again. What does it mean? Thank you
