Dream of floodwater reaching your knees - dream meaning with inherited lore
It may reflect a feeling that, even if the situation has you stuck, you still have room to move.
The water rises to your knees, making each step heavy. You may move slowly, searching for a place to plant your feet, or find it hard to take even one step against the current.
Korean lore: Traditionally, the height of water touching your body has sometimes been read as showing how close a difficulty or emotion has come. Water at knee height may suggest that the burden is real, but you still have strength to respond. (Some folk interpretations compare the depth of water and the body's movement to the degree of difficulty.)
Through the mind: You may feel slowed down by a growing list of things to do, or be trying to see how to get through your current situation. Remembering whether you could walk in the dream may help you sort out how much room to breathe you feel you have, and how much pressure.
