Connecting to our unconsciousness, intuition, magic and mystery; water holds a clue to what is in the unknown to you at the bottom. The lake often connects to the feminine side of the dreamer – water being the giver of fertility, the contents found inside become a symbol of death and rebirth and transition. If the lake is dry in your dream its becomes a symbol to nourish the feminine side of the personality. A frozen lake in your dream suggests that there is an emotional block that needs to be warmed up. The sun or the masculine energy will help balance the frozen lake by melting it (see yin and yang). Colors such as blue and black point towards the dark and mysterious parts of you that need exploring. Though a murky or dirty lake implies a need for emotional clarity.
