Flood

Psychological (Freud)

The flood depicts the overflowing of the unconscious - long-held feelings bursting every dam of self-control. It can be at once destructive and cleansing, announcing an inner upheaval in which the old is washed away.

Oriental reading

In Oriental-Islamic interpretation a flood is often seen as an affliction: war, turmoil, a severe trial, or the punishment of an unjust ruler. Yet if the water recedes peacefully, it may herald the end of hardship and the onset of relief.

Dream interpretation is for self-reflection and entertainment — it is not a medical or psychological diagnosis.
