Dream of a Flood in Your Hometown - dream meaning with inherited lore
A flood in your hometown may be a scene where family history or childhood emotions resurface alongside changes in your life now.
Water spreads through familiar alleys, fields, and the area around old houses. Seeing familiar places changed leaves you feeling saddened or startled.
Korean lore: Traditionally, a dream of floodwaters rising over your hometown or family home has sometimes been seen as a scene of change in family relationships and the foundations of life. Rather than assuming the water means everything will be swept away, it has often been interpreted as an old current being shaken up and rearranged anew. (In folk dream interpretations, one’s hometown and family home are seen as roots and family ties, while flooding may symbolize changes in those relationships and in daily life.)
Through the mind: This dream may appear during a time when you’re looking at the past and present again, such as independence, moving, marriage, or growing distance from your parents. Seeing a familiar place change may reflect the feeling that you’re no longer the person you used to be.
