Ant
Ants represent tireless work, patience, and the power of collective effort. A single ant may seem insignificant, but together ants build impressive structures. Dreaming of ants may suggest you need more patience and persistence, or that small consistent efforts will lead to great results. Ants crawling on your body may indicate minor irritations accumulating.

Flood dreams represent emotions that have breached their normal containment — feelings that are overwhelming and out of control. This can relate to grief, anger, love, or any intense emotion. Floods can also symbolize major life changes that sweep away the old and bring new circumstances.
