Swimming pool

Last night I dreamt of being in a luxury hotel, visiting with somebody.  We made our way to the hotel swimming pool.  As we walked through the doors into the pool area, I found myself unaccompanied in a community swimming pool.  I walked around the edge of the pool until I found myself wading chest deep in the water.  I put out my hand and patted a blind black dog (Labrador mix) that was treading water without moving.  I turned around and held my son, who was very young - maybe 4 or 5 years old - in this dream, as he learned to swim out of my arms.  I watched as he swam away and smiled a wistful, yet proudly happy smile.
