Mom in the Flooding House

I was in a big beautiful house at the beach. I came in and there was rising water that I could see out the front window. It didn’t look like a terrible storm so I’m not sure why the water was rising but my Mom was moving furniture around but there wasn’t an imperative. The house had never flooded before. I left the room. A while later, I came back in and the water was hitting the front of the house. It was really serious. I left again, trying to rescue some things. My mom called to me and when I came in the water was in the house. There was a pool of murky, muddy silt swirling in the room. I kept thinking of moving furniture and things upstairs. I took a tablet and dropped it into the murky swirl and things started to surface so that I could grab them and rescue them.

Players: Me, Mom
Events: walking in and out of room as waves grew higher and finally infiltrated the house, rescuing things
Symbols: rising water, things, Mom
Thoughts: Just wondering what Mom represents to me. My creative but can’t accomplish things part of self? Feeling small?
