Dreaming of a Flood
flood · mixed
Traditions disagree: calm floodwater means plenty, while a muddy, destructive flood brings illness and losses.
What happens in the dream
- A muddy flood sweeping the land and carrying you off: illness, losses and an unsettled marriage
- You see a flood: opposition from powerful neighbours and a rival in love
- You are drowned in a flood: you will leave home and, after hardship, return rich and happy
- A flood of calm water: plenty; your losses will be made up for
How you felt
- Overwhelm: the dream often reflects emotions that are flooding you
- Helplessness: it may show a sense of being swept along
Ask yourself
- What is overwhelming me right now?
- How could I get my footing back?
