An interpretation of bomb dreams

An interpretation of bomb 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. In simplest terms, a bomb is something that explodes or has potential for it. That association has many possibilities for use as symbolism. A bomb exploding can symbolize an explosive situation, anger, or conflict. You’re under too much pressure, your desires are ignored, your emotions are repressed. Whatever the bomb symbolizes, it’s likely to be something powerful and sudden. That’s a heck of a way of describing an explosive argument, especially when a bomb makes a loud noise. An explosion can symbolize a sudden outburst of emotion. When a person explodes, she loses her temper or lashes out. See: Anger A nuclear bomb exploding can be a more extreme version of the same idea. It’s strong symbolism to describe an especially powerful outburst or explosion. Dreams exaggerate, so a situation symbolized as a nuclear bomb might be relatively minor, but the imagery somehow captures the nuances, especially the feelings and emotions. See: Nuclear bombs, Rage Situations are described as explosive when volatile ingredients mix. It’s the holidays and relatives who intensely dislike each other are going to be under the same roof. Now add alcohol and watch the fireworks. A man dreams about blowing up his former human-resource director’s house with a bomb after an incident where he subjected the person to an angry tirade. He “went off” like a bomb and regretted it later. An explosion in a dream can symbolize a sudden change, and it’s probably a change for the worse. Think of times when you might say, “It was like a bomb went off.” A new supervisor takes over at work and makes radical changes. A partner suddenly ends the relationship. A sibling announces marriage plans to someone the family doesn’t like. You drop out of college or quit your job and boom! Everything changes. News and unexpected changes can hit you like a bomb. A layoff notice at work. A loved one is dying. A promotion is denied. A bomb can symbolize fear regarding a specific situation, often arising out of frustration at being unable to change or control something. Anything associated with fear can be used to symbolize it. Of course, when a bomb symbolizes something you fear, you’ll feel fear during the dream. A bomb can symbolize potential for peril and trouble, something bad about to happen. Diabetes is a sort of bomb that can wipe out health or even cause death. A failing marriage can be a sort of bomb waiting to go off. Mounting tension can threaten to erupt into something worse. A ticking bomb in a dream can indicate time is running out. A deadline is approaching. Actions need to be taken. Things can’t go on the way they are. A situation has potential for peril or conflict. For example, the rent is due and you don’t have the money. A person described as a “ticking bomb” has deeply rooted emotional issues that threaten to erupt. This is especially the case with repressed emotions, unhealed trauma, and rage. Throwing bombs can symbolize making explosive statements or provocative comments, especially when the person making them is heedless of the consequences. Defusing a bomb can symbolize defusing anger or handling a delicate situation. That use of the symbolism extends to dream scenarios where people act very carefully for fear of setting off a bomb. It can symbolize delicacy around someone who has an unpredictable or violent temper.
