Have you been dreaming about earthquakes lately? This is usually a very rare dream, but several people I’ve talked to recently have reported having this dream. So what does a dream about an earthquake mean? Let’s find out.

How do you interpret your dream about an earthquake?

9 General meanings of earthquake dreams

If you live in an area prone to earthquakes, this dream indicates upcoming minor difficulties. However, in general, dreams of earthquakes are much more significant.

1. Radical changes in the future
   Dreams about an earthquake indicate drastic changes and a complete change in circumstances. This may be from an environment such as work, or even from a relationship.

Now, this dramatic change will be beneficial but only through hard work. As a result, you will reap the rewards but you have to dig deep.

2. Current events
   With the global pandemic showing no signs of slowing down or stopping, we are all feeling increasing levels of anxiety. At present, normal life is on hold, we are in lockdown and our behavior is greatly restricted.

The problem with the Coronavirus is that it is invisible, and we are wary of an enemy we cannot see. Earthquakes, on the other hand, are loud and visible. They are destroying the environment. In fact, you could say it’s a visual representation of the anxiety and anxiety we feel about the pandemic.

3. Feeling exhausted
   Earthquakes themselves are very chaotic. They start underground and rifts tear through the Earth’s crust. Earthquakes are the very definition of pent-up energy exploding outward.

Maybe you’re dealing with a particularly hectic period in your life? Do you feel that the hectic pace of life is too intense for you? Now is a good time to step back or ask for support.

4. Extreme anxiety
   Earthquakes cause tremors and vibrations and lead to a feeling of instability. Do you feel like the rug has been pulled from under your feet? That you can’t handle normal everyday life?

This dream about an earthquake is literally your subconscious mind alerting you to seek help. You can’t manage things on your own; Ask for help now.

5. Personal transformation
   Earthquakes are devastating, but they also radically change the landscape. Are you taking on a new challenge in your life? Maybe you change your career from one extreme to another? This dream of an earthquake may be an indication of your fears about change.

Or perhaps the shift is more personal? Either way, your subconscious mind has picked up on your thoughts and wants to help you clarify them.

6. Hidden aggression
   Sigmund Freud believed that dreams are the gateway to our subconscious. His dream theory focused on hidden and repressed desires. As such, a destructive force such as an earthquake indicates a hidden destructive desire.

You may not be aware of this destructive nature within yourself. But maybe there is something in your life that you feel very angry about? Find out what it is before it consumes you.

7. The healing process
   Earthquakes leave behind devastation and destruction. But they are also powerful forces that accumulate, escalate, and then erupt. This initial destruction paves the way for rebuilding and renewal.

Instead of fearing tremors and shaking ground, use this natural energy as an energizing and cleansing process.

Remember, you are the architect of this earthquake dream. Therefore, you are protected. This is your dream. The earthquake is of your own making and is available for you to harness its power and energy.

8. Shake up your life
   An earthquake dream is about your subconscious mind taking you by the shoulders and shaking you awake. You’re stuck in a rut. Your relationship is not going anywhere. You hate your job. You are doing things out of habit. This earthquake dream is that you are screaming at yourself to change things.
9. Sadness
   When we lose someone close to us, it feels as if the ground beneath our feet is no longer stable. Our world has shattered around us. I was turned upside down and inside out. This type of earthquake dream is an unloading of your grief for the person you lost.
