An interpretation of nuclear bomb dreams

An interpretation of nuclear 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. When a situation in life “goes nuclear” it means it is highly dangerous and explosive. We use the term to describe a huge and momentous event or battle. Dreams exaggerate, so it’s not as if bombs are dropping, but in some way the imagery fits. A nuclear war implies that a situation is really bad, beyond just the normal squabbling and bickering that can be symbolized in dreams as fighting or warfare. The situation is in “meltdown.” Take the idea further and it can apply to situations where all other options have been exhausted. Dialogue and negotiation have stopped. You’re helpless to change the situation or prevent the inevitable. Extreme measures are needed. In this sense, nuclear war is like the symbolism of war, only more of it. It’s war on steroids. Bombs in dreams can symbolize something explosive, such as a temper, and a nuclear bomb takes the symbolism to the next level to describe something really explosive—blow-your-top explosive. The wording is seen in the dream imagery. It implies hostility, destructiveness, even rage. Symbolism is based subjectively on your perceptions and feelings, not necessarily on objective analysis. For example, you wreck the car and tomorrow your spouse returns from a trip. You haven’t said anything about the accident. You expect the situation could “go nuclear.” The imagery of a nuclear bomb exploding is fitting. Nuclear war ties in with “end of the world” and “apocalypse.” When used figuratively it means a situation changes drastically for the worse, or threatens to. The symbolism applies to situations such as bad health problems, divorce, and death. Again, it’s an exaggerated way of expressing the dynamics of a situation, especially the feelings and emotions involved. Facing a major decline in your health, wealth, or status can seem like the end of the world because it means the end of your world as you know it. The idea can apply broadly. For example, “bombing” a college entrance exam can mean the end of your college plans. Royally screwing up at work can mean you might be fired. Saying something really inappropriate can mean the end of a relationship or ruin of your reputation. Getting into trouble with the law can cause devastation in your life. It’s the possibility of it that gets translated into dream imagery of mushroom clouds and nuclear missiles. A mushroom cloud is an apt metaphor for a feeling of dread or something that’s inevitable or unstoppable. Most of the analogies used in this entry connect with extreme situations, but don’t limit yourself. Usually the connection with the feelings is most important. Nuclear war can describe extreme inner conflict. Something inside you resists change and will fight to the end, even take you down with it. See: Shadows It can mean you’re facing big changes in yourself and your life, or so sick of being the way you are that you are ready to wipe it all out and start over again. That idea can apply to “nuking” a relationship or situation. It’s over, finished. A nuclear explosion can’t be escaped. It destroys everything, and that destruction can be a metaphor for death. It will come for you eventually and there’s no escaping it. However, the same idea can apply to any sort of end that’s inevitable. Your dreams can visualize bodily processes happening as you sleep. If you eat some five-alarm chili and go to bed with it burning away in your bowels, you might dream about it as a nuclear blast. See also: Apocalypses, Armageddons, Bombs, Death, Rockets, War
