Swimming in your dreams

What are some of the swimming dreams you've had ? In one of my dreams, I jumped into the pool feet first and for some reason the water was only 2" deep. For grins I ran across the entire length, did a somersault, and scrambled back on all fours. Got back and asked the coach what was up with the pool, that it would have been really cool if I had done a "real" 50 free in 8 seconds. They were all staring at me because there WASN'T anything funny with the pool - for some reason I was just able to move fast enough to not sink. I get flying dreams repeatedly. But it takes a great deal of finesse, confidence, and focus to be able to do it. I start with a vertical leap working from 6" up to 15' with hangtime, then I "dive" into a horizontal position and do either breaststroke or butterfly. I can usually get about 400m before I tire. Then - I lose my touch and can't do it any more. But nobody else in the world can do it. Lastly is the nightmare about getting into a health club pool wearing a brand-new Speedo, thinking the chemicals seem out of kilter, and then when I finish my workout and climb out, I realize that my swim suit has completely turned white and is see-through. Wait - that actually happened.

  • I have dreamt about sleeping through a meet when I'm supposed to swim relays ... I am NOT a morning person and detest any meet that starts before 10:00 am. I may have to cancel my next meet because of this problem. I dreamt once that I lost a contact in the middle of a race and literally smashed into the wall. If I'm having a good dream, this involves swimming fly the way I used to. Now, on that score, I just live my "unfulfilled fantasies through my children" as Geek recommended.
