Does anybody else out there have frequent dreams (when asleep) about swimming? ....I seem to be forever dreaming I'm swimming in some way. Is it that swimmers often dream of swimming, as say a cyclist dreams about cycling confused:

It's crazy, but I dream about swimming and water most nights of the week.
I've tried to figure out why I dream about swimming, swimming pools, open fresh water, ocean water, and bridges over water.
where I grew up in Portsmouth, Ohio there was a gigantic pool called Dreamland. It was gigantic, and about a decade or so ago they tore it out. That pool is in my dreams all of the time,as is the Ohio river.
Also, I think the water is correlated with how I feel--if I feel upset, or stressed then I dream about dark or dirty water. If I feel great then I dream about clean and clear water. It's really strange.
Sometimes I dream that it's winter and there's an outdoor pool that's 3/4 full. And, it seems ok to get in it even though it's a little dirty--and then I'm doing laps, and the pool is nice and big and allows me to swim at least a 25. The whole time though, I'm aware that it's a little weird, but I'm ok with it...
Talk about weird...
Maybe I need a shrink!
