Clean Water
I was talking to my shrink the other day about how so many of my dreams involve cold, clean water.

The other night I had this dream where I "woke up" in the dream and was really thirsty and needed to drink ice cold water. In the dream there were dozens of refrigerators in my apartment, but as I opened them up I could not find what I wanted.

Instead they were full of bottles of gin and vodka - which looked like water but couldn't quench my thirst. Every so often I would find a bottle of water, but it would be warm, or full of sand or salty.

The more I looked the more bottles of booze I saw around the apartment ad the less water. Even the tap in my sink didn't work. Finally I really woke up.

I've also had dreams where a faceless woman - who tells me I need to figure out who she is - keeps transporting me to different places, each time carefully washing my feet in cold clean water.

And other dreams where I'm swimming up a river and keep getting washed to the bottom. Before I start I drink from the stream and the cold water makes me feel strong and powerful and able to start up again, even though I never reach the top and always get washed down to the bottom again.
