Stephen – Quite a dream.
The pool is an amazing image in your dream, especially because of the coloured glow. Don’t forget that dream images are an expression of functions and processes inside you. This dream is an example of that – “In my dream I was watching a fern grow. It was small but opened very rapidly. As I watched I became aware that the fern was an image representing a process occurring within myself, one I grew increasingly aware of as I watched. Then I was fully awake in my dream and realised that my dream, perhaps any dream, was an expression in images of actual events occurring unconsciously in myself. I felt enormous excitement, as if I were witnessing something of great importance”.
So the pool or pools depict the surface of your mind, and going into a pool shows you diving under the surface into what is usually unconscious – the dream world, the world of the dead, and the world of immense awareness.
And the owl is a wonderful matching image, as it shows your intuitive faculty diving into the pool and catching a fish – in fact pulling up from the unconscious a realisation of life and its meaning. So the fish may be the wisdom we have not yet brought to consciousness, regarding our personal journey in time and eternity.
I would certainly try to yourself dive into that pool of the collective unconscious to bring back treasures of realisation. Or try being integrated with the owl and fish.
