I had a dream where I was in the basement of a large building of some sort. I don't know why I was in the basement. While I was down there, a main waterline burst, causing water to rapidly fill the basement.

Once I realized there was no stopping it and that I could die, I ran up a stairway. When I got to an upper main level floor, I looked back and saw the water was already halfway up the landing and rising fast.

I quickly shut the double doors and ran down a long hallway. Halfway down the hall, there was another set of double doors. Just as I looked back, the doors to the stairway burst open and water came rushing down the hall.

I closed the second set of double doors just in time. I ran down the rest of the hallway to the lobby. There was a set of double doors there too. The same thing happened, the doors I had close burst open and I closed the doors leading into the lobby.

In the lobby, there were lots of people mingling about. I tried warning people about the danger but I was ignored. Some people did respond by saying they didn't care and that it was no big deal but other people just flat out ignored me completely.

Frustrated and worried, I ran back to the doors, which by this point, were creeking and about to burst. Water was already seeping through the cracks. I tried to think of ways to keep them closed a little longer and find a way to evacuate the building.

The dream ended there. The doors were just about to burst open. I was the only one who seemed to care about the danger and worried about my safety and the safety of others. I was very frustrated and couldn't understand why people didn't comprehend what was happening.

I know water represents emotions in dreams, so I figured it has to do with emotions. Maybe holding them back. But I don't understand what being ignored and people not reconizing what was happening would represent.
