Flood

The symbolism of a flood in a nightmare is similar to other cataclysms, meaning a destructive, unstoppable force against which the dreamer is helpless. According to some dream books, water is linked to feelings; therefore the flood illustrates the excess of emotions that have filled your life recently. It may also be a hint that you have engaged too much in a relationship or feeling and lost control over it.

Flood is a universal symbol of world destruction. Therefore, this dream often means the end of some period of life and the beginning of a new one.

Other meaning:

Flood may symbolize the release of content that has been pushed over the years into subconsciousness, such as unfulfilled desires and impulses.
If flood water in your dream gets into your home, you should pay attention to its look. If it is clean it heralds a visit. The murky, dirty water promises trouble.
Seeing people dying and drowning in the waves proclaims mourning.
If in a dream you lost your entire life possessions, then it is a warning signal that you attach too much attention to material goods instead of enjoying life.
The upcoming flood is a warning. You will experience hard times.
