Dreaming of the earthquake - meaning and various interpretations
At a first reading, dreaming of the earthquake is inevitably associated with a negative meaning full of anxieties and worries, in reality this dream, as indeed happens for most of the dreams we find ourselves having, is dressed in a thousand interpretations, not necessarily all catastrophic and with negative symbology.
In general, we can say that if in the dream we find ourselves living or witnessing an earthquake, in most cases we are faced with one of these meanings:
- unexpected and sudden changes
- uncertainty and insecurity
- danger
- fear and anxiety
This is because, the earth, which has always been a symbol of stability and certainty, during a catastrophic event such as an earthquake, suffers damage and shocks, dreamily alluding to a loss of solidity and security and to the state of bewilderment, fear and anguish.
If, according to the classic interpretation of dreams, these are the main symbols linked to the earthquake, it must also be said that, with a more complex look and a "more complete and in-depth analysis, this type of event can also indicate a collision between different areas of life. , for example, work and private, love and professional situations, bringing out situations of tension or misunderstandings, probably perceived up to that moment above all at an unconscious level.
But that's not all, if during your nights you have dreamed several times of such a shocking event as the earthquake, it may be that your innermost self is warning you against the concept of an overprotective mother, a figure that does not necessarily correspond to your bioglogical mother. , which with its engulfing attitude, could impede your full freedom and emancipation, as well as fulfillment on a personal, emotional, loving or professional level.
The ones we have seen so far are only the most common meanings of this dream, but before going into the various interpretations, here is a small guide that reveals the symbolism of the most frequent dreams.
When can you dream of an earthquake?
It is not uncommon for us to find ourselves dreaming of an earthquake in all periods of change, which bring with them a good dose of anxiety, fears and worries about an uncertain future. Even just moving home can cause a sense of destabilization, leading our unconscious to uneasy and positive emotions. Not only that, if you are in a phase of transition from one "age to another" or you are experiencing a particular moment of transformation, at work, at school or in private life, we should not be afraid if our sleeps can run into natural disasters. of this type.
Another case can be if you have really lived it and if you have been particularly shocked by having seen the images; after all, Italy is unfortunately a nation with a strong seismic risk, the episodes of the past, such as the one in Irpinia or more recently in Abruzzo or Amatrice, are sad testimonies, so it is not so absurd that general fears find materialization in the form of this kind of dream.
Remember, however, that for a correct interpretation of dreams it is essential to pay attention to the details as well as to the sensations we feel during the dream experience. So let's see specifically all the meanings that the earthquake can assume.
Dreaming of shocks
As already mentioned, dreaming of shocks means that you are experiencing a moment of change, but in this case the intensity of the vibrations perceived and the sensations experienced become fundamental, because we are not necessarily faced with a dream with negative values.
For example, short and not too strong shocks, associated with a rather serene and calm state of mind, can indicate that you are able to experience the change that life is preparing us for, which therefore takes on the appearance of a " opportunities to be seized rather than a radical transformation to fear. Where instead, the tremors were strong and our feelings associated with fear, terror and anxiety, our unconscious could warn us of situations that are rather stressful and perceived as dangerous and destabilizing.
Dreaming of an earthquake in your own home
If in the dream, the earthquake occurs in the house it means that with a good chance we are afraid of losing what is dear to us, be it a material good, a love or the people we care about most. It can indicate a bereavement, a betrayal, a financial crisis, a change of status that forces us to review habits and lose objects or things we are particularly fond of.
However, this type of dream can have a positive value if your state of mind is not distressed or where you are living this experience together with relatives or loved ones: it could in fact indicate that you are freeing yourself from heavy situations, ties and harmful and manipulative relationships. , moving towards a new era.
At the office
Also in this case, the sensations that are felt are fundamental. The change that will obviously involve the professional sphere, could be either positive - such as a career advancement, promotion or salary increase - or negative - such as a dismissal, tensions at work, with boss or colleagues.
In a church
The church becomes the symbol of the institutions and the system of rules and certainties acquired over the years and which have constituted and constitute our creed, spiritual or not. Its collapse would indicate the questioning of this whole set of concepts and preconceptions to make room for personal beliefs and a freer and more personal vision of life. Not necessarily therefore, it indicates a negative aspect, on the contrary, making the self emerge in a reality in which it is often crushed, it is on the contrary a dream of encouragement and good omen.
However, here too there could be a downside: perceiving loneliness and bewilderment, feeling a voice out of the chorus without support and following. It will be the sensations you experience during the dream that will reveal to you in which direction your unconscious is going.
Dreaming of an undulatory earthquake
An undulatory movement is horizontal and causes the oscillation of objects and houses, without necessarily leading to destruction and damage. This type of dream therefore indicates more a feeling of instability and loss of reference points, both in the professional and private sphere.
Dreaming of a jolting earthquake that makes everything collapse
In this type of dream, the loss of certainty is also accompanied by a real radical transformation that your unconscious puts you in front of. It can be a concrete upheaval that involves one of your areas of life or a radical change of an interior type, more linked to personal beliefs and convictions.
Generally the sensations it accompanies are of anxiety, worry and fear, but they do not always indicate an imminent negative upheaval: it is more than anything else the breaking of the patterns we are used to worry and destabilize. Sometimes, in fact, the total destruction of everything we know leads to a reconstruction and the beginning of a new era.
Dreaming of an earthquake without damage
An earthquake that does not cause damage is a dream with a very positive value and specifically means that you are able to face any type of change that life puts us in front of, without undergoing particular physical or psychological upheavals.
Dreaming of the ruins of the earthquake
Dreaming of the moment immediately following the collapse, that is the real ruins, indicates that you are equipped with the right courage to face the change that has already taken place: your unconscious is telling you to go further and not be frightened by the new challenges to which you are placed in front. It is an encouraging and heartening dream that should therefore be lived with serenity, strength and energy.
Escape from an earthquake
Similar to the previous one, this dream, in the common symbolism, means the ability to face change without being submerged by it, finding alternative ways and solutions to get out of it unscathed or stronger than before.
Along with other catastrophic events
If the earthquake is accompanied by natural disasters of various sizes, it means that we are about to face a particularly difficult and complex situation.
- Combined with events such as floods or tsunamis, it indicates that we are facing difficult changes that we struggle to manage and overcome.
- Together with a "volcanic eruption, it could suggest to our selves to let the repressed emotions we have kept hidden inside us flow and explode, to free ourselves once and for all, not without a certain amount of fear, fatigue and pain.
Numbers to play on the lotto
Based on the Neapolitan grimace, the numbers associated with the generic earthquake are 11 and 89.
The number 20 if it is far away, the number 7 if it is close.
If the shocks are short, you have to play 59, if they are strong and raze everything to the ground, 69.
If we are protagonists of the violent episode it is good to focus on 61, in case we were only spectators, 53.
