Dream Danger Warnings
Sometimes our dreams may
come to us as a warning against whatever difficulties our
subconscious believes us to be in, often in the form of metaphors.
Dangerous People in Dreams
Being threatened by others in a dream is a common
indicator of social or emotional trouble. The attacker may be armed, or
overpowering or attacking from behind. The attack need not represent a physical
threat, it may be a personal threat such as mental bullying in the workplace or
a domineering partner. Such dreams are indications that our subconscious
believes we are under attack and it is best to take notice of these dreams.
Natural Disaster Dreams
In dreams the symbolism of natural threats -
lightning, avalanche, storm, flood, earthquake - are to warn us that we may
feel out of control and at the mercy of fate. Although different from person to
person, different types of disaster place emphasis on different aspects of our
being - eg flooding relates to the emotions, fire to passion or anger, an
earthquake to the stability of our lives. These disasters may also suggest a
purging of some important aspect of our lives, enabling a fresh start.
Danger in the Home
Dreams of danger in the home may relate directly to
our household where we have ignored signs of an accident waiting to happen and
the subconscious is bringing this to our attention. However, symbolically these
dreams may point to discord in the home or fears to do with multiple issues of
loss or damage or danger.
A calamitous event such as the house falling down,
may indicate difficulties in your security, stability or domestic situation. A
dream of being trapped in a burning house may be a powerful metaphor for your
feelings about some central aspect of your life.
Emotional Outcomes in Dreams
An accident
or disaster in a dream may be meant as a catalyst for some behaviour rather
than a danger sign. For instance in a different scenario in your life where
things are not working out you may have feelings of guilt or blame that you
need to express. The dream may be prompting you to take action in this part of
your life and move forward.
