Crowd
Crowds represent society, collective consciousness, and your relationship with groups. Being in a crowd may reflect conformity pressure or feeling lost in the masses. Standing out from a crowd suggests individuality and uniqueness. A hostile crowd represents social rejection fears. A celebratory crowd indicates shared joy. Crowd anxiety in dreams often reflects introverted tendencies or social overwhelm.
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.
