A dam breaking in a dream shows that the structures used to hold back internal pressure are failing. The brain uses this image to signal that what has been kept in check can no longer be contained, as the strength of the restraint is outweighed by the force of the impulse.
This fracture indicates that the accumulated weight of what has been suppressed is beginning to bypass the defenses that previously provided stability. While the loss of this containment can feel destabilizing, the dream shows that the old methods of holding back are being superseded by a necessary release. The pressure finds its own way out, which allows for a movement away from stagnant tension.
For its more general meaning: Dream about flooding
Owen SterlingInterpreter interprets your dreams
Many people believe a frightening dream announces something, when more often the brain was simply sorting the days just before it. During the night the mind files what was carried over from recent hours, and what gets filed loudest is what was felt most. A rough night leaves a residue by morning that fades with daylight. Nothing was sent. The sleeper was working, and the work is done.
