A river or a pool (a body of water separated by two distinct areas of land) in your dream signifies your subconscious depths being kept in control by outside forces.
What do the distinct areas of land look like? Are they dusty, or is it luxurious. This is the outside influence.
Is the river or pool water stagnant or tumultuous? Calm waters signify peace within, but tumultuous waters signify a disturbance in your emotional stability. Is there a monster inside? Is it fun?
