But just what kind of power is the dream volcano symbolizing--a majestic display of the divine, or an explosive eruption of violence? Read on for ideas as to what kind of power is simmering in your psyche. Under Pressure Volcanic activity occurs deep within the earth where gases and other materials collect and gather force while being held down by the earth. Volcanoes are always associated with pressure--the pressure to keep the gases in check under the earth and the pressure that is building to overcome that which is keeping it underground.
Volcanoes in dreams, therefore, can indicate that one is under immense pressure and worse, that this pressure is coming from too directions. There is a pressure bearing down that is working to keep things in check, while that which is being suppressed is gathering force, working toward release.
In dreams, this may indicate that one feels pulled in two direction--there is a pressure to maintain control, while there is a simultaneous desperate desire to find release. Oftentimes the pressure can be symbolic of two competing spheres of life, for example, the pressure of work life coming into conflict with the pressure of family life and relationships.
The key here is to identify what the pressure is and to find a way to let off steam before before an explosion occurs. Blowing Your Top Arguably, the most obvious and common interpretation of a dream volcano is the view that the volcano represents a dangerous, violent emotional situation that is about to erupt. And oftentimes, the most obvious interpretation is the best interpretation. You lose your temper very easily and you are feeling like you will explode in every moment.
If you had this dream, it is actually warning you to calm down. Dreaming of a dormant volcano. If you had this dream, it means that you are feeling embarrassed because of something that was in the past. You may have lost temper in a certain situation in your past and you have probably offended a person who you love. Dreaming of a volcano that is about to errupt. Dreaming of a volcanic eruption. If you have dreamed of a volcanic eruption, then it is a symbol of scandals and conflicts that you will experience in the future period.
Dreaming that you are afraid of a volcano. If you were afraid of a volcano in your dream, it is not a good sign. It is a classical dream indicating that you need to establish boundaries. Ones reaction to problems often represents boundaries in our lives and relationships, in life people can often cause conflict.
The action itself suggests the need to build a boundary of resistance. Hot ash symbolizes difficulties in life and a desire to separate from others. A dream about seeing a dormant volcano could be a sign that, you are feeling hurt due to something which happened in the past.
If you have at some point, lost your temper and you are annoyed, then the fact that the volcano has not erupted is a positive sign and can indicate that you will take care of yourself. A volcanic eruption in your dream is a sign that, in the days to come, you will be annoyed. To see lava coming out of the top of the volcano indicates as I have said a number of times before emotions that are out of control.
Dreaming that there was a volcanic eruption and you got burnt could be a sign that, there is someone who is not happy with you. You might have done something intentionally or unintentionally which hurt someone who is close to you and now it is time to review your relationship. An underwater volcano in your dream is a sign that, there will be an end to conflicts with people around you as you will be able to find solutions to what has been dividing you.
It could also symbolize fiery emotions and experiences that you are carrying with you from the past. On the negative side, it might be an indicator that, you are no longer in good relationship with a close friend. To dream that you see a volcano erupting and you escape could mean that you are currently going through a disastrous situation which will end up on a positive situation occurring.
Think about being in a storm, eventually, sunlight will appear. The dream is just to reassure that, there is hope at the end of the tunnel and all you need is to continue being hopeful. A volcano in front of you could be a sign that, you are stagnating as far as progress is concerned and this is causing a lot of nervousness and frustration to you. After the dream, you will need to take the challenges positively and ensure that, you work towards improving your situation in life.
Life is all about hard work. As I have mentioned before, the title "volcano" originates from the Roman god Vulcan. This god was connected to male fertilization and protecting the crop in ancient Roman times. The god is linked to any aspect of fire and is usually worshiped in order to avoid causing fires. The god is known to be connected to religion and helps protect against potential danger. Additionally, the volcanoes is also associated with the Hawaiian goddess known as Pele.
The legend is that Pele had many siblings and thirteen sisters. In the ancient stories, she wanted to meet her true love but she was fickle and ended up killing all her husbands. So what does this mean in connection with your dream? We can see through these gods that emotions are central to their interpretation. Additionally, this dream is associated with a powerful feeling of love or hate. A dream about a volcano is symbolic of your strong anger and emotions.
If you are that kind of person who losses your temper easily and most of the time, you feel like exploding. The dream could be warning you that, it is time to calm down otherwise you will be brought down by your destructive behavior which will make your life chaotic. Alternatively, the dream about a volcano could be indicative of a type of behavior where you like ignoring your problems, thinking that they will just disappear. After the dream, you will need to face up to problems and get solutions to them.
Everything has a solution! The type of larva is important, to see red lava indicates danger. If the lava was flowing then this indicates emotions that are full of anger. The fluidity of the lava is important in a dream. For the larva to flow down a steep slope indicates that in the end things will turn out smooth. The best scenario could be that you need to delegate work to relieve yourself and start a new. Alternatively, you could be going through a challenging family situation and you are having to review your relationships with your family and partner.
Dreaming that you are worried of the volcano indicates you are worried about emotions. It might be at your place of work or in your relationship. After the dream, you will need to be careful about what you say when around your colleagues lest they use it against you. A volcano made of ice appearing in your dream could mean that you wish to freeze your enemies.
They say, be close to your friends and closer to your enemies, after the dream, think about how you can overcome people who are not for you. A dream where a volcano emitting water instead of lava could imply that you are feeling relief after a situation which you anticipated to be chaotic or dangerous, turning out to be the opposite.
Dreaming about volcanoes erupting close to you signals some major changes which will happen in your life. Take the dream to imply that, in the days to come, you are going to receive some challenging news. When it happens, it is going to affect your self-esteem and mood as it will affect your social standing. To see a volcano in your dream, denotes violent confrontation or that you feel withdrawn from society.
The emotions you feel are about to "erupt". Your honesty and fair character may also be threatened or attacked. In dreams volcanoes represent your emotions.
