earthquake

Universal Landscape: Disruptive change of great magnitude.

Dreaming Lens: Where was the earthquake? Were you in an earthquake, or was your dream after the event? Was it your home or someplace else? How much danger was present? What was the duration of the earthquake? Was there any death? What was the level of the damage? Were you prepared?

Personal Focus: When the tectonic plates of the Earth shift and collide, the result is an upheaval of colossal magnitude. The energetic source of these violent alterations of the ground is deep below the Earth’s surface. The shift of landscape is the result of changes that originate in the subterranean world. This is representative of how unconscious thoughts and feelings can have an enormous impact when they suddenly become conscious. Earthquakes themselves are of relatively short duration, so the life event this image may be reflecting is likely something that occurred quickly or appeared suddenly.

The symbolic meaning of an earthquake is comprised of three elements, which are: A great change has already taken place. The onset of the change originated from a deep and unconscious place. And things will never be the same.

The enormity of an earthquake renders its victims helpless to avoid the consequences of the changes taking place. Look to situations in your current life that are, or seem to be, inevitable or unavoidable. If a shift in your life is knocking you off balance, an earthquake may reflect a level of vulnerability and a lack of security. The real danger of earthquakes arrive in the aftermath: more people die in fires and post hoc structural damage. A dream earthquake could be a warning about danger that is pending due to recent dramatic changes in your waking life.

The earthquake is part of a general sense of total catastrophe: it is a sudden mutation that can cause havoc, but it can also—in the symbolical plane —be beneficial. Given that an earthquake represents a strong disequilibrium in vital circumstances (it generates insecurity and fear), dreaming of this phenomenon should animate you to make a radical turn in your projects. In the same manner, the latent possibility of the earthquake could be something that is from your consciousness and which brings you fear. It surely deals with those repressed feelings in real life and have relegated to a subconscious level. Lastly, this image could also warn you that you are putting your health in danger, so you should try to relax yourself. (See ABYSS, CATASTROPHE, and RESCUE)
