I'm posting this a few days late, so I don't remember much about the dream.  I do remember that Dingo was in a pool and was drowning.  I needed to get to her quickly, (and was a few levels up), so I considered going down the slide, but I was afraid I would lose my glasses in the process and be very little help to her because I wouldn't be able to see.  Instead I decided to run down the stairs.  I don't remember much else after that, including whether or not I was able to save her.

 

To dream of a dead pet suggests that something that you had thought was left in the past is coming back to haunt you. Similarly to seeing your childhood home, a past pet serves the same function as trying to bring you back into that particular time period. A situation in your waking life may parallel a situation from your past and the dream is providing a means of resolving it.

To see someone drowning in your dream suggests that you are becoming too deeply involved in something that is beyond your control. Alternatively, it represents a sense of loss in your own identity. You are unable to differentiate who you are anymore.

To see a swimming pool in your dream symbolizes relaxation, calmness, luxury and ease. You need to take a break. Alternatively, a swimming pool suggests that you need to acknowledge and understand your feelings. It is time to dive in and deal with those emotions. You need to cleanse yourself and wash away past hurts.

There are a couple of different things that this dream seems to mean - it could simply mean that I'm still not over losing Dingo yet (which is true) and that I need to deal with it so that I can move on.  It also does seem to suggest once again that I am overwhelmed (a recurring pattern in my dreams lately) and that I need to take a break and relax.  Both of these interpretations are probably accurate.
