A tub overflowing appears as the mind processes a state where the usual methods of containment and order no longer suffice. The dream shows that the volume of what is being dealt with has exceeded the limits of what can be held.
The brain uses this image to signal that the structures meant to provide comfort and stability are currently being overwhelmed. The feeling that the current load of life is too much to keep contained is present. This lack of control carries a weight that can feel intrusive. There is a recognition that the current way of organizing life is being tested by an excess that cannot be easily redirected. However, this excess also reveals the true capacity of the vessel, suggesting that the boundaries being tested are part of a necessary expansion.
For its more general meaning: Dream about a bathtub
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.
