Ten Thousand Dream Interpretation

by Gustavus Hindman Miller
To dream of explosions, portends that disapproving actions of those connected with you will cause you transient displeasure and loss, and that business will also displease you.

To think your face, or the face of others, is blackened or mutilated, signifies you will be accused of indiscretion which will be unjust, though circumstances may convict you.

To see the air filled with smoke and de’bris, denotes unusual dissatisfaction in business circles and much social antagonism.

To think you are enveloped in the flames, or are up in the air where you have been blown by an explosion, foretells that unworthy friends will infringe on your rights and will abuse your confidence. Young women should be careful of associates of the opposite sex after a dream of this character.

Dreamers Dictionary

Vision: Witnessing an explosion: you are threatened by an alarming, unexpected event. Suddenly waking up immediately after a dream: a physical problem. Seeing an explosion: your present restlessness is temporary. Seeing dead people after an explosion: escaping at the last moment from a dangerous situation, unscathed. This symbol is a sign of severe tension that is about to explode.

See Bomb, Dynamite. However, anxieties and tension will just as suddenly disappear. Why are you about to explode? What kind of volcano inside you is waiting to erupt?

The essence of an explosion is combustion, and combustion means change and transformation.

The distinction here is how fast change sometimes occurs, and in the case of an explosion, change is happening very rapidly. Remember that in a dream, an explosion is a positive thing and indicates that some transition in your life is happening abruptly and may be causing you fear. Change can be very frightening, and it is part of the human experience to fear change.

The explosion in your dream may indicate that whatever is occurring is inevitable.
