A dream of floodwater rising to your waist in a downpour - dream meaning with inherited lore
It may hold the pressure of feeling that what you have to handle is growing.
The rain keeps falling, and the water around you rises to waist height. It becomes hard to walk, and you hesitate, unsure where to place your feet.
Korean lore: Traditionally, rising water has sometimes been read as emotions or circumstances shifting dramatically. Interpretations of good or bad fortune may differ depending on whether the water was clear or murky, and whether you got out, so it’s hard to settle on one meaning. (I drew on folk traditions that compare the amount and condition of water to the flow of emotions or daily life.)
Through the mind: You may feel there’s so much to handle at work or in your relationships that you barely have time to catch your breath. How high the water rose may connect to how intense the pressure feels.
