Meaning of dreaming of a flood

Water in dreams symbolizes a warning for emotions. When the dream brings you a flood of water, that is, a flood, it is inviting you to observe your deepest emotions and realize where you stand.

Just as the flood waters that come in piles and bring and take away many objects, the flooding emotions represented in the dream want to announce the possible arrival or departure of various feelings.

This flood of emotions is not always positive, but that's not why it will be a negative warning either. Read on to learn a little more about the different ways that your feelings and emotions are highlighted through the different meanings that dreaming of flooding can have.

To dream of a flood of clean water

To dream of a flood of clear water means that although at the moment you are feeling flooded with thoughts and emotions, in the depths of your self the path you have to take is already clear to you.

Your dream tells you that even if things appear as tumultuous, in fact, you already know what to do: you just need to listen to your deepest self and have the courage to act. Often we need to hold hands with someone to get what we believe is necessary, often what is necessary is to let go of someone's hands.

Follow what you feel you must do, even if it is not seeming possible now due to the tumult of feelings and emotions that are flooding you, the meaning of your dream can be translated as an invitation from you to yourself to have courage.

To dream of a flood of crystal clear water

Already when the water that overflows in flood in your dream appears crystal clear, what your dream is symbolizing is a confirmation of good harmony of your many current feelings and emotions.

To dream of a flood of crystal clear water symbolizes tranquility, so be at peace with your intensity of feelings and realize that these multiple emotions are a part of you. Take the opportunity to learn more about these emotions now that you are more aware of yourself. Expand and allow others to enjoy your excesses too, without it hurting you.

To dream of a flood of dirty water

If that night you were dreaming of flood of dirty water, the meaning is that you need to alert yourself to the confusion of your emotions and lack of clarity about which path to take.

Dirty water floods blur the vision about what is being submerged, so be careful not to drown yourself further and further in the pool of emotions. Look a little deeper inside yourself. When you dream of dirty water flooding, know that this is not the time to make important decisions.

To dream of blue water flooding

Blue, in general, is a color that reminds us of tranquility, harmony and spirituality. However, when you dream of a flood of blue water, the meaning goes a little beyond that which we think of most immediately. Blue also symbolizes coldness, so this dream asks you to realize that you are not trying to deny your feelings.

Perhaps they are taking over you, just as the flood of blue water took over your dream. Notice the shade of blue, the lighter it is, the less you have been listening and feeling your feelings and emotions.

To dream of a flood of black water

To dream of black water flooding may symbolize a defense of your dream to not let guilt appear as one of the strongest of your current feelings. Black water flooding reveals that you are doing something that you do not consider right, but still do not stop doing.

To avoid feeling guilt in the dream as well, your inner self then dyes all the flood water black, hiding your feelings. Review your actions and be authentic, because being okay with yourself is what matters most.

To dream of a flood of green water

When green is the water that appears forming the flood in your dream, stay calm. Just as the flood is a movement of nature, so green is a color that connects us with nature. This means that although there are many feelings that come over you now, you are connected to them and your ability to feel them will not be extrapolated.

Green is also a color that symbolizes health, so continue to take good care of your emotions and they will always be a way to be connected with yourself, thus being very happy.

To dream of yellow water flooding

Enjoy the wave of creativity and cleverness that comes announced by your dream of yellow water flood. This dream invites you to release your imagination, to allow yourself. The yellow water flood symbolizes a time of great openness and prosperity.

So, this is the perfect time to discover a new hobby: reconnect with the old habit of going to the cinema, discover the taste of going to museums, set aside those minutes before bed to listen to new music or take the opportunity to find a new artistic gift, taking a chance on drawing, writing or even pottery. Unleash your creativity!

To dream of a flood of mud

If what you remember is that in your dream there was a flood of mud this may mean that you are preoccupied with feelings and emotions that you cannot understand. Several can be the causes of why you are not understanding your feelings and emotions.

Feeling a lack of clarity about feelings is always a moment of caution to make important decisions and review the relationships in which you are involved. This moment asks you to take some time out, look inside yourself and try to find what is sinking you deeper and deeper into this mire of not understanding yourself.

One tip might be to write down daily how you feel and look for patterns of feelings, those that repeat themselves, and why they are repeating themselves. Asking someone to help you through this can be a good outlet as well.

The more you know and understand your feelings and emotions, not only with your reason, but with your heart as well, the better you will be able to make important decisions for your life and that ultimately make you and the one you love happy.

To dream of a flood of black mud

A dream filled with black mud means that not only are you not understanding your feelings at the moment, but also that this has been happening for some time. Perhaps this lack of connection with yourself and your core emotions comes from the past.

When you dream of a flood of black mud, review old relationships, feelings that you have been hiding from yourself for a few years or months. This is a time of courage. Looking at your past self may not be easy, but it is important for the future to be happier.

To dream of sea water flooding

When the sea appears in dreams it is always to throw light in the direction of family relationships. To dream of flooding sea water means that you are too immersed in family relationships and are not having space to feel or be emotional about relationships outside the family.

The generosity that the sea brings is also present in this symbolization, but you can find it outside of family relationships. Focus on making new friendships, virtual or at work, and cultivate the space and distance they can give you. Surrender in relationships is good, but cultivating your individuality is also funny.

To dream of flooding rainwater

To dream of flooding rainwater means that you have something out of place in your life. Rainwater, which normally falls from the sky and flows on the ground, in a flood situation is not in its natural flow.

Look in detail at the little things in your life and see where you're not fitting in well. Try to be clearer about your desires to others and be firm in defending them. It's not always easy to put things back into their natural flow, every change - even if it's to get back to something that was before - takes some kind of effort and work.

Your dream shows you that things are not going well, but it is up to you to promote change: strength and courage.

To Dream of River Water Flooding

To dream of flooding river water means that your feelings and emotions are passing in front of you and you are just watching them happen. This dream shows you that you must take charge of your life and get back to being active in your choices and what you feel from it. The fluid of the river calls you to move and make this transformation.

To dream of flooding in different situations

Several are the situations that you may appear in relation to the flood. Check out the following to see what each of these ways of being in a flood dream symbolizes and understand a little better about how you have been relating to your flood of feelings.

To dream that you are being swept away by a flood

Beware, you may be letting yourself be guided only by your feelings and forgetting the importance that is the balance between reason and emotion. This is what dreaming that you are being swept away by a flood tells you.

To better deal with this moment that your dream highlights, you should pay attention to your next decisions and weigh them well in the balance. It is very important to take a stand and not let life take you away.

To dream that you are drowning in a flood

The feeling of drowning is not at all pleasant, and feeling it in a dream can be considered a call to get out of this situation. To dream that you are drowning in a flood means that you are with many emotions stuck in your throat and many feelings that suffocate you, free yourself from them, allow yourself to feel.

If you are in a moment where your feelings and emotions must remain suppressed, then at least talk about them with your friends or some trusted person. This will make you feel better and allow you to breathe again.

To dream that you are watching a flood from a high place

To dream that you are watching a flood from a high place, away from the flood, means that although you are with feelings and emotions on the surface they are under control.

This dream shows that you are managing to maintain self-control and not be impulsive even though often the will is that. Such an attitude prevents some tragedies, but also deprives you of some risks and challenges that can make you grow. Look at your life and rethink where it is more worth keeping or loosening this attitude.

To dream that you are protected from a flood

Not always protecting yourself, although more comfortable, is the best way to face some situation. To dream that you are protected from a flood means that you are avoiding facing the feelings and emotions that are expressing themselves in conflicts within you.

Even though this may seem like the easy way out for now, don't get lost in appearances: the more you avoid a mess the bigger it gets. Take this opportunity to learn to face your feelings and emotions and realize this invitation to grow and better develop self-knowledge.

To dream that you are far away from the place where a flood is happening

Many times in life it is not possible to know what you are feeling clearly. When you dream that you are far away from the place where a flood is happening your subconscious gives a warning that there is something that needs to be noticed.

The dream invites you to recognize and begin to prepare for something that is coming and you will need to face. Conflicts of emotions and feelings come to make you change and grow. Organize things in there and already begin to prepare for what may arrive in the coming days.

To dream that you see people you know in the middle of the flood

Pay attention to your most recent relationships and realize how good you are being or how confused you are about them. To dream that you are seeing familiar people in the middle of the flood means that the new people coming into your life are creating a great deal of expectation in those relationships.

The question the dream poses, then, is about your willingness and attitude to trust back and engage in these new relationships. If you go out of your way to help people who are in the flood, then you are dealing with the fears and emotions that come with beginning the deepening of a bond.

Now, if you are not motivated to help those acquaintances you saw in the flood of your dream, then the best course of action is to make it clear to those new relationships that you are taking it slow and that you feel it will be in a longer time that the bonds will grow closer. Just like trust, honesty is the cornerstone of any good relationship: be it dating, friendship, marriage or work.

To dream that you are happy after the flood

Going through a phase of change and emotional conflict is often painful, no wonder to dream that you are happy after the flood appears as such a satisfying dream. This dream means that you are coming to the end or have already completed an arduous journey of change, transformation and growth regarding your feelings.

More than that, it confirms that despite all the pain, you have done very well and are a person who relates better to yourself and also to others from now on.

To dream that you are helping people in a flood

To dream that you are helping people in a flood means that you are opening up and trusting back to those who trust you. Whether it is because you are already strong and aware of your feelings or because of an impulsive action, this is a dream that brings to light a moment of surrender and deepening of relationships. Beware of the bad intentions of others, but do not deprive yourself of enjoying the goodmoments and be happy.
