I used to be a competitive swimmer so I don't know if the dreams are related but I used to swim competitively for quite a few years before suddenly giving it up. This is my second swimming dream this week. I actually dreamt of my coach whom I haven't seen for at least 6 or 7 years now. I was back in the same pool I used to swim at and my coach was there. It was like I had just returned to swimming and we were doing sprints. Somehow my body just felt slow and when I dived in, it took forever for me to get back up to the surface. I kept kicking and swimming as hard as I could, but it took a huge effort to swim. When I finally finished the lap, my coach just looked so disappointed. I came in 5th. It was like I couldn't swim fast enough anymore. Not surprising since I haven't been swimming in years... I don't know why but just knowing that I had disappointed my coach was a little unsettling for me. It was just a dream but I am still trying to understand it. I've been asking myself if my subconscious is telling me to go back and swim or if I had felt that I disappointed my coach by just giving up like that years ago. I mean I haven't kept in contact with my coach and I have no idea why this is suddenly coming up. Just trying to understand this dream, if anyone would like to help, that'd be great.
