Eruption

Dreams of an eruption symbolize a breakthrough; you are breaking lose into a whole new form, experiencing drastic changes after long periods of repression. Perhaps you bottled up your resentments, hurt feelings, desires, urges and inspirations, and you are realizing that your shadow emotions: anger, lust, and fear can only be bottled up so long before they will inevitably explode. Your dream may be telling you to find a healthy outlet for your passion.

See Anger and Orgasm.

Something erupting (such as a volcano or a fight) can represent: A buildup and then explosion of emotion (as when someone bottles up their anger).

A problem that builds and builds until it must be dealt with.

An experience or fear of sudden and unavoidable crisis in your life.

See Explosion, Bursting, Flood

An eruption, such as a volcanic eruption, usually indicates the forceful breakthrough of unconscious material—repressed thoughts or urges— into consciousness. More generally, an eruption may indicate an upheaval in one’s life.
