Flood

A flood is emotion that has broken containment. Flood narratives appear across cultures — Noah, Gilgamesh, the Hindu deluge — always marking the end of one order and the beginning of another. Jungian analysis reads flood-dreams as the unconscious rising faster than the waking self can accommodate, often during real emotional crisis. Notice what the flood reaches, what it spares, and whether you find higher ground. Flood-dreams are rarely catastrophic in meaning; they usually mark a necessary reset.
