Blue
Blue represents calm, communication, and spiritual awareness. Light blue often appears in peaceful, serene dream environments, while dark blue may represent deep thought or sadness (feeling 'blue'). Blue water combines the emotional symbolism of water with the communicative energy of blue.
Swimming Underwater
Swimming underwater represents diving deep into the unconscious mind, exploring hidden emotions, and the challenge of operating in unfamiliar psychological territory. The ability to breathe underwater suggests comfort with deep emotional exploration. Running out of air indicates that you're pushing your emotional limits. What you find underwater represents discoveries from the deepest layers of the psyche.
