Still pond

A small unmoving body of water — quiet reflection in a contained, unambitious place.

A still pond in a dream is the dream's image of quiet reflection in a small, contained place. The pond is not the sea; the water has its own surface and a single sky resting on it. The dream brings the still pond when something in your life — a private hour, a domestic morning, a small daily thought — is the unambitious, contained mirror in which you actually meet your own face. A pond clear enough to see the bottom is the dream affirming the honest small reflection. A pond gone stagnant under green scum is the dream noting that the small contained water has not been refreshed, and the reflection it offers has stopped being a mirror and become a film.
