1–24 of 205 scenesSwimming against a current
Struggling to maintain forward motion against a discernible, powerful water resistance.
Finding the edge of a pool
Pausing briefly at the hard boundary where the water meets the surrounding deck.
Diving beneath choppy surface waves
I push down through a layer of restless, uneven water, seeking a momentary, unexpected pocket of stillness below.
Gasping for breath near water surface
I surface periodically in the vast water, taking necessary breaths while constantly worrying about the next submersion.
Splashing through shallow, murky shallows
I wade through water barely reaching my waist, constantly disturbing sediment that clouds the surrounding small area.
Swimming within constrained, tiled enclosure
The pool walls are too close, forcing every stroke to be a tightly regulated, repetitive pattern within a confined space.
Struggling to stay afloat in dark water
The water feels impossibly heavy and cold, requiring constant, exhausting effort just to remain upright and not sink completely to the bottom.
Emerging near a different body of water
I finish a swim in one body of water only to immediately find myself at the meeting point with a much different one.
Floating easily while drifting aimlessly
I am propelled along by a gentle tide, experiencing no resistance, but I have no conscious control over my direction of travel.
Wading toward unknown depth transition
As the water deepens suddenly in front of me, I hesitate, unsure whether to proceed into the unfamiliar depths or turn back.
Wading toward shore from vast expanse
The water gradually lessens its depth as I approach the land, but the journey across the wide, open surface remains unending.
Riding a powerful, steady river flow
I allow the swift, powerful river movement to carry me along with minimal physical exertion, feeling completely surrendered to the motion.
Swimming with unexpected, steady companion
Another person moves through the water beside me, maintaining a synchronized, unremarked pace throughout the entire swim.
Pushing through viscous, slow-moving fluid
The water resists every movement with incredible thickness, demanding slow, labored strokes that barely result in forward progress.
Swimming where the water changes temperature
The dreamer swims across a section where the temperature abruptly shifts from cool to noticeably warmer over a short distance.
Being pushed sideways by slow water
Instead of forward momentum, the water gently nudges the dreamer continuously across the lane line without propulsion.
Swimming in surprisingly warm, still water
The water feels unseasonably warm, allowing for effortless, slow, rhythmic gliding across the surface without any exertion.
Suddenly noticing the pool draining away slowly
While swimming laps, the dreamer observes the water level gradually lowering, leaving increasing patches of dry tile around the edges.
Feeling the pull toward submerged shadows
While swimming normally, the dreamer perceives dark, indistinct shapes moving just beneath the water surface, drawing attention downward.
Discovering an unexpected small inlet
While swimming in a large body of water, the dreamer stumbles upon a small, calm pocket of water separate from the main flow.
Swimming with a consistent, urgent pace
The rhythm of the strokes is unwavering and fast, suggesting a need to maintain a specific, necessary velocity through the medium.
Attempting to tread water against a breeze
Rather than moving through water, the dreamer tries to maintain vertical position against a strong, horizontal push of air above the pool.
Trying to swim with heavy, restrictive clothing
The dreamer attempts strokes while wearing thick, soaked garments that impede natural movement through the water.
