Recurring dreams often signify something in your waking life that needs your attention or is unresolved. In your dream of attaching pool noodles to metal poles, the pool noodles might represent a desire for comfort, flexibility, or playfulness, while the metal poles could symbolize structure, rigidity, or stability.

The act of attaching the two could suggest that you're trying to find a balance between fun and responsibility, or perhaps you're seeking ways to soften rigid structures in your life. This dream may reflect your need to create a more comfortable environment in situations that feel too strict or unyielding.

Consider what aspects of your life feel too rigid or serious, and think about how you might incorporate more playfulness or flexibility into those areas. Reflecting on the emotions you felt during the dream may also provide further insights.
