Flooding building

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.

Healing involves leaving some thing behind. As you healed, the water flooded over what you left behind, as you rose to higher levels of thinking. Could represent holding back your feelings, but also could mean new energy bursting forth. You are not afraid anymore.

Oh okay. That makes sense.
