Floods
Floods often touch overwhelming forces sweeping away the solid ground beneath you — loss, sickness, the unsettling of what felt secure. The dream may ask where something has burst its banks in your life, what muddy debris you feel carried along by, and how you keep your footing when the waters rise past everything you'd counted on.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for floods, 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.
