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.
Phone
Phones in dreams represent communication, connection with others, and your ability to reach out or be reached. A ringing phone suggests an important message or call to action. A phone that won't work reflects communication breakdown. Losing your phone symbolizes disconnection and anxiety about being unreachable. In modern dreams, phones increasingly represent distraction and the fear of missing information.
