Folks,

Well, this is the fourth dream in the sequence. I have
been writing down my dreams in a journal since 1992.
During that time, I gained the ability to perceive some
of the symbols directly and I can see the influence of
my shadow quite easily.

The four dreams represent something happening in my
personal life. The fourth dream shows the obvious
connection. Here it is.

In this dream, my family and I are in town. We go to partys
and have fun. We live in a big city with a very tall building.

Off in the distance, I can see a split in the hills. Through
the split pours an enormous amount of water. The entire city
is going to flood. There are huge waves of water.

We start to run to the tallest building to get to the highest
floor or the roof. But we are too late and the water takes
over. We have to swim but I am convinced that we will be
fine.

The water floods up to us and around us. We swim to the top
floor of the tallest building which is now flooded. The
entire city is under water. The cars on the roof of the
building are under water. We stop on the roof and the
water stops rising at our chests.

We move around in the water trying to avoid electrical
cables and other floating items. The water starts to
recede. As the water level lowers, people form a line
to leave the building. We are walk down the stairs
single file.

Suddenly part of the building colapses on top of me.
It drags me down to the bottom of the flood waters.
I can see a person in the building laughing as the
building falls onto me. There are no details that
I can see but he seems very familiar.

I am under the water, at the bottom and I can't get
away because of the wall that is on top of me.
I notice a small opening near the corner and I pull
it open to escape. Through the entire process, I have
a strange feeling of confidence that we will be fine.

There is some anarchy due to the flood and devastation
of the city. Some of the young men start a fight club
in the building. They invite me but I don't join.
There is one huge guy that gets into the fray and
everybody stops because he is so huge.

There is some music and revelry near the roof after
the water recedes. I notice some actors and actresses
doing a play but I stay away because I am helping my
family.

I look down at the ground and it is still flooded. All
the cars in the parking lot are under water. It occurs
to me that they are junk and will not work anymore.
I wonder if i can restart my car after I find it.

I wake up.

-------------------------------------------------------

The most interesting part about this dream for me was
my constant feelings of confidence that we would be fine.
This seems so out of context in a dream about flooding
and a near death experience. I was completely perplexed
about this and possibly it is a fantasy injected into the
dream to smooth over the fear.

But I did have a thought that maybe it is hope that I will
eventually be fine after my personal life settles down.
I thought of this while comuting to work and it brought
tears to my eyes because my life is a wreck as portrayed
in the dream.

Oh well, any comments are welcome.

A very visual dream. Thanks for sharing.

Flood waters could be a symbol of the emotions. Since you say your life is currently a wreck, that explains the imagery. But the fact that you braved it so well in the dream could be a reflection of your ability to handle life crisis in reality.
