Baby
Babies in dreams often represent new beginnings, innocence, and vulnerable aspects of yourself that need nurturing. They can also symbolize new projects, ideas, or relationships in their infancy. Caring for a baby may reflect your nurturing nature, while neglecting a dream baby may indicate you're neglecting something important in waking life.
Flood
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.
