Hearing God's Voice in DreamsA–Z symbolsPool in a dream
Biblical meaning from Hearing God's Voice in Dreams by Apostle Nicholas V. Mbanjwa
Also: Still water pool, Reflecting pool, Swimming pool, Pool of water
What it means
A learning institution; an environment that allows growth and the gaining of experience.
The ability to learn, adapt and survive within a bounded environment.
A pool is water with a boundary. Unlike a river or sea, it is a contained setting — which is why it pictures a place one is placed in for a season in order to develop.
✦ When it is positive
- A clean pool, representing a good environment for learning, adapting and surviving
- A pool troubled and then bringing healing, as at Bethesda
⚠ When it is a warning
- A dirty pool, representing an environment not conducive to learning or growth
- Lying beside a pool for years without entering it
How to tell the difference
How a person swims in the pool indicates their ability to operate in a given learning environment. Note the CLEANLINESS of the water and whether the dreamer is in, beside, or unable to enter it.

Whoever stepped in first after the stirring of the water was healed of whatever disease he had. 5A certain man was there who had been sick for thirty-eight years.
