What are possible meanings for dreams of earthquakes?

Decoding the symbolism of an earthquake works the same as with other natural disasters. Begin with the most obvious meaning that it’s connected with something that really affects you, in your life or in yourself—especially in your emotions. You are “shaken up.” Next, assume that when a dream picks through its options for how to say “disaster,” it chooses one that best matches the situation, so something about the nature or dynamics of an earthquake is the best way to tell the story.

An earthquake is a big disaster. It’s strong symbolism, whereas an aftershock is minor in comparison and would be used in connection with something comparatively minor. An earthquake is an upheaval, something “earth-shaking,” and an aftershock is a rumble or hiccup. An earthquake is picked to tell a story about big trouble at a job, and an aftershock is just rumors about proposed layoffs. The earthquake is the argument that rocks your marriage, and the aftershock is just a disagreement.

An earthquake causes chaos. It disrupts normal life for an extended period. It comes on strong without warning. The disaster that’s foreseen, that has a bigger buildup, is better symbolized by a typhoon or volcano.

An earthquake can mean you feel shaky inside.

The noise associated with an earthquake can symbolize grumbling or grumpiness. A sound such as the rumble of a helicopter passing closely overhead can translate into a dream as an earthquake.

So I had a dream that was sort of a future vision. What do I make of it.

You see in the dream a small creature which was humanoid had a conversation with me. The creature told me to wake up to which I said no. It said you'll have to eventually. So I forcefully woke myself(not a great thing I'd say) only to find that my alarm was about to ring in 5 minutes. And a few minutes after the alarm rang there was an earthquake. Quite the minor one.
This was yesterday's dream. I had another today saying me to wake up but no incidents this time. I tried asking the small humanoid in the dream why but there was no answer. It was as if my dream had froze so I woke up again to again find that my alarm was about to ring.

I got a dream of planet (Jupiter) hitting earth!!!

That's a day time, I'm playing with my family members. Suddenly we all are seeing Jupiter in sky its size like a normal moon, I'm shocked how is this possible and but we are very happiely to seeing it. After few moments that normal size was increased, now I'm very scarred. In the tv news, radio, social media every where speaking & sharing the photos. Then I feel the earthquake and meteor fall, explosion, people are dying. Finally i woke up.After that I realised that was a dream. It's so realistic and one of the worst nightmare I got ever. Is anyone got the same dream? Please share here.

Bizarre dream about mass suicide.

Last night I had a dream I can't quite wrap my head around and it's creeping me out. In the dream I was out in a field near a massive tree and there was a group of people talking about doing a prank. Most of them were college students but for some reason, there was a firefighter and a middle aged man with them. Then, about five 20-30 year old men walked up and the leader of the group(a stocky young guy with curly hair) handed them a long rope. He told them to throw it up into the tree and then climb to the top. I watched as the guys followed his orders as if they had no mind of their own. The "prankster" group was laughing at them. Then the leader of the group gave the guys instructions on how to tie a noose. I realized what was happening and yelled at the leader to stop because someone would die, especially from that height.

Everyone ignored my pleas, and the leader told one of the guys to put the noose around his neck and jump. I ran inside a building and looked out the window to see the first guy hanging from the tree. His neck was obviously broken but somehow he waved a 'goodbye' wave to me before he died. The rest of them followed one after another putting the noose on and jumping.

When the group came in still laughing about their "prank", I starting screaming at each one of them calling them murderers. I asked the firefighter what it felt like to be a murderer and he said, "Feels pretty good." They all sat down in a lounge area(at this point I understood they were part of some club) and I left to call the police and report what happened. While I was waiting for the police to arrive, the leader approached me and I just starting wailing on him. We each landed hits on each other and I could feel and taste the blood coming from my nose. Somehow we were separated and he took off. The police showed up and just filled out paper work without even going to the tree. Then, the leader of the group came back and held his fist out for a fist-bump and asked if we were cool.

I woke up right after that. I've tried looking up my dream, but it's just too bizarre to find anything. I'm used to having dream about floods, earthquakes, plane crashes, and the end of the world, but nothing like this. Anyone have any ideas?

A movie that isn’t real.

I just had a dream about a movie centered around some people who were in space on a space station during a global nuclear war, and decide to come down to Earth after the war only to realize that Earth’s tectonic plates, and atmosphere were destabilized during the nuclear blasts. They watch the California coastline collapse into the ocean, the sky is completely dark, there are permanent radioactive thunderstorms, and constant earthquakes. The movie starred the following actors, and actresses:

Daniel Bruhl from Marvel, and Cloverfield Paradox.

Lauren Cohan from The Walking Dead.

Taylor Russel from Escape Room.

Kris Kristofferson from Convoy, and Fallout New Vegas.

Gugu Mbatha-Raw from Loki, and Cloverfield Paradox.

John Ortiz from Cloverfield Paradox.

This movie from the dream had a lot of dramatic moments, and in the dream I was watching the movie on TV with my mom, and brother. I find it interesting that I am familiar with all of these actors/actresses from other movies, or shows I’ve watched. I haven’t seen Taylor Russel in a movie before but I have seen recent trailers for the Escape Room movie, and Taylor Russel is in my local area filming a movie currently, or was fairly recently. All of the actors/actresses played crew members on the space station that witnessed the nuclear war. Kris Kristofferson seemed to play the Captain with Daniel Bruhl playing the second in command, and Lauren Cohan seemed to hold a high rank on board the station as well. The others were below them, or at least seemed to be. There seemed to have been lots of unnamed people on board on the space station too.

I dreamt that the sky broke open..

Super vivid dream. I was outside with a bunch of people doing (idk), and then we heard really loud thunder. I looked up and noticed it was cloudy/overcast, but nothing to cause thunder.

Then it happened again while I was already looking up. The whole atmosphere moved erratically, like if you were to watch something splash water, but while under the water (the best way I know how to explain it). The clouds would move up and down, expand and contract, causing these thunderous noises so loud it reverberated thru your body.

I then looked around me to make sure I wasn’t hallucinating, and saw that when the thunder hit, people looked like they were being lifted up just a tad, like there was less gravity for a second.

Then the finale; heard this rumbling, like rolling thunder and earthquakes at the same time. I stared in misbelief, shock, and awe. There was this vibrating section like a crack in the sky as the atmosphere looked to be rising at the single point. A loud woofing sound as all the clouds in the sky were being sucked up into this point… and then BOOM… the sky broke… a hole in the atmosphere… only black space behind it.

Earthquakes started, a constant whooshing sound as the the hole was sucking up everything. Gravity started getting wonky. People were being lifted up into this broken sky (smaller and lighter people first). I grabbed my gf hand as she was being lifted up, and I was still on the ground. I ran like hell to a building, and overpass, an underground subway, anything. I screamed at the people I passed to RUN, I kept chanting it over and over as I sprinted.. until I wasn’t.

Gravity was gone, I was being lifted now too. A foot off the ground that realization hit me. I froze. That moment just before you feel fear overcame me. I froze, adrenaline surged, the hairs on my body rose, a deep inhale… END

I wake up in my bed with a tiny adrenaline rush, completely still, and very awake.

This was the most vivid and intense dream I’ve had in years. I can still remember the the sight of the sky like it just happened, the sounds of the thunder and panic, and the feeling of the wind rushing and being sucked up. It was nuts.
