A dream about a river overflowing and causing a flood - dream meaning with inherited lore
It can reflect a moment when held-back emotions or problems suddenly reach their limit.
The river rises over its banks and spreads quickly into the surrounding area. You watch the current, flustered because you do not know where to escape, or look for higher ground while observing the situation.
Korean lore: Traditionally, a river overflowing has sometimes been interpreted as an overwhelming change or powerful energy in motion. The water spreading widely can also be read as a sign that the scope of a situation is growing. (In folk dream interpretations, overflowing water is sometimes read as a metaphor for change and the flow of emotions.)
Through the mind: It may reflect emotions or tasks that have slowly piled up until they are difficult to put off any longer. In reality, it may be a time when several burdens overlap and feel overwhelming, rather than one single problem.
