To dream of seeing cities or country submerged in dark, seething waters, denotes great misfortune and loss of life through some dreadful calamity.
To see human beings swept away in an inundation, portends bereavements and despair, making life gloomy and unprofitable.
To see a large area inundated with clear water, denotes profit and ease after seemingly hopeless struggles with fortune. See Food.
