Being Chased by Floodwater in a Dream? Why I Ask How You Woke Up
I have had a dream in which floodwater came after me. My first thought was danger. As I prayed about that particular dream, I understood it differently. That experience is one reason I ask people what stayed with them when they woke up. You can describe an enormous amount of water and still leave out the detail that matters most.
When the water feels destructive
A flood can overwhelm a familiar place in a very short time. In one part of the livestream, I turn to Jeremiah 46, where rising water gives a picture of destructive force. If you were running for your life and woke deeply troubled, I would ask what feels threatening or overwhelming to you right now. Bring that fear into prayer in plain words.
When you wake with peace
There is another biblical picture of water. Ezekiel 34:26 describes showers of blessing. I use that passage to explain why abundance can also appear in a dream as more water than you can take in. In my own case, I had expected one interpretation and came to understand the water as a picture of blessing.
What were you praying about before you had the dream? What did the water do when it reached you? Did the fear continue after you woke, or did you wake with an unexpected peace? Those questions help me hear your dream more accurately.
Father, you know what feels overwhelming to me. Give me discernment, protect what is dear to me and help me receive your goodness with gratitude.
Would you like me to interpret your dream?
I recommend joining me for a free dream interpretation on Zoom. We meet every Saturday and Sunday at 6 p.m. Nigerian time (WAT). Bring the part of the dream you remember. If Zoom asks for a passcode, enter UGbaY5.
If you’d prefer to tell me your dream privately, you can book a one-on-one session with me.
