Dream interpretation Flood, Deluge

No matter whether your car dies out while driving over a flooded road, or you wind up to your waist in floodwater in the basement, chances are your dreams of flooding will be disturbing. While these dreams often reveal that you are overwhelmed in some area of your life, you can use other aspects of the dream to understand just how bad the situation is. For example, if the flooding in the dream is not severe, then you may not be as overwhelmed as you think you are about any given situation.

Depending on the severity of the flood, you can use this factor to interpret the level of disturbance. In addition, if the flooding happens to be mild, or gentle, then you can look forward to the issues being resolved without much difficulty.

A Sample Dream, Flood Dream Interpretation

Consider a dream where you are washing laundry, and enter the basement to put them in the dryer. As you open the door, a stream of soapy water forms a puddle around your feet. Dismayed, you wade into the room and then begin mopping up the water. While you are mopping, you think about the fact that your son causes more laundry to pile up than any other member of the family; and that the entire load was for his clothing. Upon recording this dream, you become irritated over the fact that your son should have a better job so that he is not so dependent on you.

In this particular dream, you would start of by recognizing the fact that the flood represents a situation that you feel overwhelmed by. Since the flood is not very large, and you are able to clean it up fairly easily, you can consider that the disturbance is fairly minor when compared to other matters. The key to determining where the situation is in your life is revealed by what you are thinking about while you are cleaning up the floor. In this instance, you are thinking about your son, who is an adult, but still relies on your for assistance. Clearly, this dream indicates that you are tired of "cleaning up the mess" that your son always seems to leave behind. Rather than go on in this situation, you might want to see if giving your son money for the laundromat will ease your frustrations. This is just one of many things you may want to try doing in order to see if you can avoid further dreams of flooding in relation to your son.
