Swimming has been an increasing theme in my dreams.

Looking into what it means:

• If you are swimming in your dream you are most likely swimming through the ocean of your unconscious and through the sea of your emotions.
• Swimming can represent moving forward in your life or trying to achieve a goal (get somewhere in your life), or freedom from your usual limitations.
• To dream of swimming indicates success though it would be a tiresome effort.
• To dream of swimming, is an augury of success if you find no discomfort in the act.
• Swimming – May symbolize a trustful and receptive attitude towards your unconscious, or your mother, or nature. It may also symbolize staying ‘on top’ of your emotions.
• Swimming: Activity of the Spirit; worship; gifts of the Spirit being applied; service to God; prophecy in operation.
• To dream that you are swimming in a pool, denotes much luck in love.
• Dreams about bathing and swimming are always symbols of cleansing and renewal. Dreaming about swimming outdoors denotes success in the future; everything is looking up, because you are gaining strength and endurance.
• To see a pool of water in your dream, indicates that you need to understand and deal with your emotions. You need to dive right in. Alternatively, a pool may indicate your need for cleansing. You need to wash away the past.
