Building
Building in dreams represents the active construction of your life, identity, or projects. What you're building and its condition reflect your creative efforts. Building a house suggests constructing your identity. Building with others represents collaborative creation. A building collapsing mid-construction suggests fear of failure or undermined efforts. The tools and materials used add additional meaning.
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.
