Flood
Overwhelming emotions, major change
Garden
Growth, cultivation, inner peace
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.
Garden
Gardens represent the cultivated aspects of your psyche — the parts you've consciously nurtured and grown. A beautiful garden suggests inner peace, creativity, and personal growth. A neglected garden may indicate aspects of yourself you've been ignoring. Planting seeds represents new intentions, while harvesting represents reaping the rewards of your efforts.
