What Does My Dream Mean?

The other night I had an unusual dream. I was at a hardcore show...that was taking place entirely inside the above ground swimming pool in my backyard. Everyone in attendance was in the water, swimming around or moshing, even the band, which for some reason only consisted of a guy with a microphone, screaming over a pre-recorded tape of a beatdown-style metalcore band (which kinda sounded like Hatebreed or Sworn Enemy). When I asked him where the rest of the band was, he arrogantly responded, " For those of you who don't already know, the rest of the band couldn't make it, so stop asking me about it already". He felt the need to say this on the microphone too, even though I was 3 feet away from him, in the same above ground swimming pool. He was a total dick.

Despite his shitty attitude, the show was pretty awesome. Due to being submerged in water, I became way more agile and acrobatic than I could ever hope to be on dry land. I was busting out underwater somersaults and handstands during the breakdown parts, while during the fast parts, I was Jackie Chan-running along the wall of the pool in the circle pit (which caused a fun little whirlpool of sorts to occur.) Being in water also made it hard to do the mosh moves that are staples of hardcore shows, like the windmill or picking up change, but it didn't really matter. Who needs those when you can just playfully splash one another?
There were at least 8 or 9 other people in the audience and we were all really into it. We also made sure to show pool scene unity to each other. When someone would fall to the bottom of the pool, we would pick them back up so they wouldn't potentially drown in the 4 ft. of water. We also made sure to help anyone that got water up their nose, because that's a really uncomfortable feeling. The show in my dream was a really good time. It showed that the above ground pool hardcore scene is still alive and well in 2009!

Of course, it was just a weird dream and like most dreams, I couldn't make sense of this one at all. I went to a dream interpretation website and put the term "above ground swimming pool moshing" into it's search engine. I guess it was way too specific, because it yielded no results. So, I narrowed the search down to the word "pool". I got this explanation- "To see a pool of water in your dream indicates that you need to understand and deal with your emotions. You need to dive right in. Alternatively, a pool may indicate your need for cleansing. You need to wash away the past." I guess that makes sense. Too often I don't give enough thought to why I feel a certain way or just wait to get over whatever it is that's bothering me. I need to work on that- or "dive right in", as it were. As for "washing away the past", I definitely should really let go of any negative feelings or grudges from my past and just start anew. Start living in the now while thinking about the future. It all made sense. But why the hardcore show? I couldn't find any answers for that ( please feel free to speculate and add your own interpretation as a comment). Maybe it's just because I think it's a funny idea. I guess my dreams are turning into comedy skits or something. It did make for a memorable dream, however. 95% of my dreams are completely forgotten as soon as I wake up. I woke up from this particular dream wondering what it meant and eager to seek out an explanation.

Oh, the bed was also totally drenched in urine.
