Water is almost always about emotion. How the water looks in your dream often reflects how you feel inside: clear, still water tends to mean inner calm; murky, surging, or flooding water can be suppressed feelings rising.
Dreams of floods or drowning often appear in stressful times when emotions are close to "overflowing"; calm lakes or gently flowing rivers tend to come with ease and acceptance.
Ask yourself: are my emotions clear or murky right now? Is there a feeling I've been holding back from flowing? Writing it down is often the first step in letting the water settle.
