In our dreams, natural disasters appear frequently that is not in our hand to avoid. These are distressing dreams that remind us of our weakness in the face of nature and, ultimately, in the face of destiny.
But all those dreams with natural phenomena acquire a different meaning depending on whether it is a fire, an earthquake, a hurricane, etc. One of the most frequent dreams is that of a flood, which has a very personal meaning. Do you want to know the different interpretations of dreaming of a flood? We tell you everything about this dream experience in our Dream Dictionary.
An flood is an excess of water, either by torrential rains, or by domestic accident, or because a river has left its course. In any case, we are talking about an overflow and that is precisely the main meaning that follows from dreaming of a flood.
+ When you dream of a flood, it usually coincides with a specific moment of your life in which you feel overflowed, perhaps because of the excess of responsibilities and you are unable to address everything. Just as it is impossible to control the water of a flood. Oppression and overwhelming are the emotions that this dream lets floods.
+ The mood, but also economic and health are reflected in these dreams of floods, where the main characteristic is that you have lost control of the situation. But they also suppose a bad omen as a premonitory dream that announces losses of money, labor problems and diseases.
+ As with the interpretation of all dreams, you have to look a lot at the details to unravel the concrete meaning and know if your dream experience is positive or negative. Thus, if the water of the flood is dirty, the dream is talking about emotional conflicts with yourself. If what you dream of is that the water drags you, it means that someone is taking advantage of you.
+ We find a more positive meaning when you dream of a flood but of little importance, since the dream is talking to you that despite certain complications, you have the necessary resources to solve the situation.
What is clear is that we can conclude since dreaming of a flood has more negative meanings than positive, which does not mean that you cannot take advantage of this dream that, sometimes, can become a nightmare. But we will discover the different meanings of floods in dreams.
Dreaming of a flooded house implies a very unfortunate dream whose meaning can be directed to the family, couple, money or labor, but in any case, it involves losses, conflicts and disasters. This dream indicates most of the time family or couple problems. Also identity problems as if you would not find meaning to life, since the house symbolizes everything that matters most. And who is more important than yourself?
It may also be that you dream that somewhere is overwhelmed, such as sink or bathtub. It means that you have lost control of your personal life and your emotions. When this type of domestic accidents occur in dreams it is because you have a lot of instability and many doubts about what is happening to you.
On the other hand, if you dream of great flood, but your house is intact, you can be calm, because you will witness problems around you, but they will not affect you.
As we said, that your house is flooded in dreams can be a representation of problems, concerns and concerns. But in your dreams only a flooded room may appear, so you should pay attention to what it was since in this case it is symbolizing a part of your life or your psyche.
For example, if the bathroom has flooded, you should keep in mind that you need an interior “cleaning”, that is, eliminating from your life everything negative and what makes you bad to fill yourself with positive energies. What if the kitchen is flooded? The place where you feed yourself and yours and where you manage resources symbolizes, in dreams, that you need a little more organization to put your priorities in order.
It may not be flooded in your dream, but be the home of another person, known or not. These types of dreams can also refer to family problems or with people close to you, but also symbolizes that you feel overwhelmed in some area of your life, such as work or emotionally.
It is interesting to observe the water of the flood, since if it was clean and crystalline it represents a process of emotional cleaning, of improvement of self -esteem or very positive emotions. If the water was dirty or cloudy, it is a sign that you feel confused, trapped or with negative emotions inside you that are coming to light.
An flood in your work represents a certain burden in the work environment, perhaps because of the many responsibilities you have behind your back. It is the same as if you dream that a cultivated field is flooded, because it means that your mood is negative and pessimistic, and that you do not expect to collect any fruit or success in your work.
The reasons, as we said, can be varied. From an excess of work or responsibilities, to the tasks that have been assigned and you think you cannot with everything. You are overwhelmed, like that water flood everything in your office or work environment, and you need a break to stop feeling so overwhelmed.
In the dream from your home you are seeing that the rain does not cease and that the streets are flooded. Maybe cars are almost floating and people can’t go out. But in reality you are seeing it from the safety of your home, you keep calm because you do not plan to leave until the water is not gone. And that is a good symptom, not losing your nerves because you are very aware that there is a danger out there, but as long as you stay in that position it is no risk to you.
However, if you do not feel good when observing that street because you cannot leave and your desire is frustrated, it is a sign of a certain anxiety or stress related to the outside world. You may feel that there are problems around you, and you don’t know how to face or solve them.
Sometimes, sleeping with flooding is a natural catastrophe. Everything has been ruined, the water has taken everything and has only left debris. This dream with floods and landslides is quite common when you feel that you cannot more due to the problems or concerns you can have.
When the flood has passed, you see the bleak panorama and you feel that you have no strength to rebuild it. But you have them, of course you have strength to rebuild your life and start over. And if you have to ask for help, nothing happens either.
Within dreams with floods, dreaming that everything around you is full of water but you do not get wet is a very positive sign. Keep in mind that in an flood it is normal to be full of water, but in your case you have managed to escape and you have managed to save yourself without even getting wet.
This means that although you face complicated and difficult situations, such as personal, labor or emotional problems, you have the ability to get out of them without “getting wet.” That is, you have sufficient strength and power to face these situations without affecting you deeply. You are reaching a great emotional balance, keep it up!
Dreaming of an overflowing river and that the current drags you is a horrible nightmare that talks about anxiety problems. You can’t more, you’ve tired of fighting and your dream tells you to get carried away by that current even if you are afraid. When the flood passes, you will take care of asking for help to manage your anxiety.
A dream in which a sea blow or a tsunami has flooded the entire coast and has destroyed the entire promenade, with its premises, with its hotels, with its banks, with its viewpoints … It is a dream experience that happens so that you are aware of the amount of things you cannot have under control.

Do not be discouraged with all the negative meanings you have to dream of a flood. Sometimes, it is necessary that everything falls apart to start over and to catch that opportunity to do better.
