Cat

Cat
Cats in dreams often embody independence, mystery, and intuitive wisdom. In many cultures, cats are associated with the feminine divine, psychic abilities, and the mysterious aspects of life. A purring cat may represent contentment and self-sufficiency, while a hissing cat could indicate someone deceitful in your life. Black cats carry additional cultural symbolism — luck in some traditions, superstition in others.
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.
