A lake or any sheet of water, even stagnant water, symbolizes the unconscious.
That is because, when you try to look into the unconscious. you see only your ego, nothing else, because it is dark underneath and light above.
Yet you know thousands of things are there. Monsters are down there in that eternal night. The whole world, the world of our ancestors, even the world of our childhood, is somewhere in those dark depths.
