An interpretation of avalanche dreams

An interpretation of avalanche dreams

This interpretation is from ""The Dream Interpretation Dictionary: Symbols, Signs, and Meanings" and is provided by J.M. DeBord aka "RadOwl". He is the author of several acclaimed books about dreaming, the host of The Dreams That Shape Us podcast, and is a moderator of r/Dreams, one of the largest dream sharing communities on the internet. An avalanche in a dream can connect symbolically with the feeling of being overwhelmed, such as when you’re facing an avalanche of work or responsibility. It can connect with the idea of something held back, and once let loose there’s no way to stop it. Pent-up emotions are like that, especially anger. Or when the truth must be told and it’s been a long time coming. An avalanche is comparable to anything impossible to stop once set in motion, or a delicate situation. One wrong move has the potential for disaster. See also: Climbing, Descending, Mountains
