An interpretation of lightning dreams

An interpretation of lightning 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. When decoding the symbolism of lightning, consider associations with something that happens rarely—lightning never strikes twice—or that is shocking—lightning is electricity, highly charged—or that strikes suddenly. For example, infatuation, ideas, misfortune, or good luck can strike suddenly. The dream will define the symbolism through the action of striking or shocking and how you react to it. Lightning and thunder are associated with anger: “stormin’ mad.” See: Anger They’re associated with fear. See: Fear Lightning can symbolize a temper that lashes out suddenly, and thunder can symbolize the loud booms of an argument. Lightning is dangerous and can be a warning to seek shelter. Translated into your life, that idea can mean that you sense trouble coming. Danger is ahead. Protect yourself. Dreams are stories and they do everything necessary to make the stories believable, so lightning and thunder can be thought of as details that set the scene, to create a scary, tense, or ominous atmosphere. A sky full of lightning can be a way of saying that something is coming to a head, to a finale. See also: Anger, Fear, Storms, Tornados, Weather
