Owen SterlingEscaping a flood is a dream that arises when the mind works through an influx of heavy emotion. The brain uses this image to rehearse the movement away from a situation that feels too large to contain or manage.
This dream provides a way to move through the feeling of being submerged by life. While the scale of the event in the dream suggests that things are becoming too much to hold, the act of movement provides a way to identify the capacity for distance. The dreamer finds that even in the presence of a great upheaval, there is a way to find space.
Escaping a flood with someone changes the focus from a solo survival to a shared experience of relief. The presence of another person indicates that the emotional weight being processed is not an isolated burden, but something that involves a connection or a relationship.
Running from a flood or surviving a flood indicates the different ways the mind handles the approach of a crisis. Running shows an active attempt to outpace a problem, whereas surviving shows the capacity to remain standing through the peak of the difficulty. Both versions of the dream point to a fundamental resilience in the face of things that feel uncontrollable.

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.
