Dreams of Natural Disasters and Inner Turmoil
Dreams about earthquakes, landslides, and volcanoes often point to inner turmoil or emotional conflict that shakes the foundation of the dreamer’s world. These dreams may come close to being nightmares, serving as warnings about something significant in waking life that demands attention. Although such dreams are unlikely to be prophetic, they usually reflect something dangerous or unstable in the dreamer's life.
Dreams of Being Overwhelmed
For example, a dream about an avalanche may symbolize oppressive forces or overwhelming responsibilities in waking life, such as the pressure that comes with the birth of a child. If you are swept away in the dream, it suggests the need to find stability or support in waking life.
Cracking Earth or Explosions
If the earth cracks open beneath you, it could indicate changes at work or insecurity within a relationship. An explosion may reflect sudden changes or emotional release. To interpret the dream’s symbolism, consider the damage caused and the people involved. A dream about being struck by lightning may signify sudden insight or revelation.
Falling or Alarms
Falling into a dark hole may represent a situation in waking life from which you feel you cannot escape. Alarms in dreams may be triggered by external noises, like car or house alarms, but if there is no external stimulus, the dream could represent a need for protection or security, especially concerning family. The effectiveness of the alarm in the dream can be a significant symbol of how you handle potential dangers in waking life.
Warnings and Practical Concerns
Dreams often serve as warnings about waking life dangers. For instance, a dream of overspending may suggest emotional overinvestment in a relationship. Escaping from a prison to a happy place may be a signal that you need to relax. Additionally, dreams about failing car brakes or bodily aches might reflect real-life health or mechanical issues that the subconscious mind has picked up.

These may be depicted as impending danger in a dream. In such cases the real danger is of taking our anxieties as reality, instead of seeing them for what they are, a reaction to a situation.
A relative, loved one in danger: the temptation is to believe the dream is presaging a real event. Our concern for children and loved ones, but more often our fears regarding them, create most of such dreams.
A woman told me a dream in which her daughter was strangled while at university. In processing her dream the woman wept strongly as she met feelings of fear about her daughter leaving home and living independently at university.
