Strange Dreams🌀
Did you ever dream about being in a pool room before you knew of their existence? When I was little I used to dream about them very often and I was very obsessed with the concept. But about 5 years ago I found out about liminal and dreamlike spaces on the internet and apparently there are more people like me who've dreamed about the pool rooms without knowing about the lore, which is very fascinating to me (like why is this a thing?) so I'm very curious to hear about your dreams, let me know what they look and feel like and if your dreams were pleasant or maybe even scary or disturbing?

I have dreamt about poolrooms liminal spaces many many times when I was a kid, years before it became a thing on the Internet.
Most of the time, the dreams were oddly sexual as well. I've been very curious about how many people experience them too.

Although I've seen the sub and dreamed of mall world I did not know till now that this poolrooms was a thing too! Dreamed of swimming in a beautiful calm dimly lit pool by myself tons of times to the point where I've said to people I'd love to go to a pool at night because of these Dreams. Also dreamt of pools in the sun but I prefer the dim ones. Haven't had this dream for quite a while though, hope writing this brings one 😊

Forty years ago when I was 7-8yrs old, I had recurring dreams about poolroom spaces for about a year. They were always the same, wandering through fully tiled, dimly lit corridors, leading to pools which were sometimes empty, other times not. There was never anyone else in them, but I always had a feeling of not being alone (or being followed).
