An interpretation of disaster 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. “Disaster” is used to refer to a variety of situations. A pipe bursts and floods the kitchen—it’s a disaster. You spill red wine on your clothes. You go out on a bad date. Your car breaks down. These situations are minor when compared to real disasters like tornadoes, earthquakes, and oil spills, but we describe them as disasters to convey the personal feelings and dynamics involved. It’s an exaggerated representation of a situation that’s bad. And how bad it is, along with how it helps tell the story, determines the type of disaster used in a dream. For example, something that shakes you up is symbolized as an earthquake, and how shaken up you are is symbolized by the strength of the earthquake. A disaster in a dream can symbolize fear. It can be as seemingly innocuous as a fear of flying because of disasters you’ve heard about. It can express fear for people you know who put themselves at risk. They are said to be “flirting with disaster.” See: Fear Dreaming about a disaster can mean you have been thinking about the worst that could happen. You feel pessimistic. A natural disaster in a dream can symbolize something that’s happened in society at large, such as a stock market collapse, or your favorite sports team losing the big game. In either situation, you are more likely to dream about it as a disaster if the event affects you personally or strikes close to home. For example, a stock market collapse wipes out your retirement savings and you dream about it as an earthquake that destroys your house. On the other hand, if you had nothing invested in the stock market and don’t know anyone personally affected, it’s not really a disaster as far as you’re concerned. It’s still possible to dream about it as a disaster, just not as likely. A disaster can symbolize internal dynamics. You’re a mess. Your thoughts or emotions are out of control. Disaster is such a broad term. Use the list below to zero in on what best describes the events in your dream. See also: Apocalypses, Armageddons, Blizzards, Bombs, Crashes, Earthquakes, Erupting, Fear, Fighting, Fires, Floods, Nuclear bombs, Storms, Tsunamis, Tornados, Volcanos, War
