weird dream imagery

i can't remember everything

but i do remember
there was a cat
at least
i thought it was a cat

laying in a small pool of water
under the water
raising up occasionally
to breathe

but then it hadn't come up for a while
and i was doing something else
only vaguely aware
of the strangeness
of the cat
in water
but
i wasn't worried about it
it wasn't being restrained
the water wasn't deep

but then someone else came in
and i became aware of the cat again
was going to mention it to the other
and realized aloud:
it's been under a while
and there are no air bubbles coming up
oh my god
is it dead

we pulled it up
it was not a cat
it was a child
lifeless

there was another part
which
if i remember it
i'll add later

the pool was rather uterine
and we weren't as freaked out as seemed warranted
so i don't know

what the hell
does it mean
