Dreaming of being trapped in a flood - dream meaning with inherited lore

The water rises over you, and the sounds around you grow distant. You search for a way out, but struggle to move, or the dream continues with you trapped underwater.

Korean lore: Traditionally, being caught in a flood has sometimes been interpreted as being swept up in emotions or worries. A blocked ending may also be seen as reflecting the frustration of things not going smoothly. (In folk dream interpretations, being submerged or unable to escape is sometimes compared to hardship and frustration.)

Through the mind: It may connect to a time when tasks or worries pile up all at once and you feel you can’t catch your breath. The dream may also carry the feeling of not knowing where to begin.
