- People swept away by the flood: bereavement and despair that darken your life
- Cities or countryside under dark, churning water: great misfortune, a disaster that costs lives
How you felt
- Feeling overwhelmed: the dream often reflects emotions or obligations spilling over
- Helplessness: facing something bigger than you, you look for solid ground

- Is there clear water anywhere, a way out taking shape?
