Flood
A flood in dreams often speaks to overwhelming emotion or a situation that has breached its banks—something once contained now spilling everywhere. Whether this deluge brings devastation or unexpected abundance may depend less on the water itself than on how you feel watching it rise.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for flood, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To dream of floods destroying vast areas of country and bearing you on with its muddy de'bris, denotes sickness, loss in business, and the most unhappy and unsettled situation in the marriage state.

Fontaine, 1862
(See Overflow.) To dream of a flood, generally denotes riches and plenty, particularly if the water is calm, it shows that though you may lose something, you will be fortunate in other ways sufficient to counterbalance it.
