Yesterday's dream

The way I woke up yesterday made me forget my dream. I knew it was an interesting one though and throughout the day I kept getting flash images, but they would disappear before I could make any sense of them. As I lay in bed last night dozing off I suddenly remembered, so I grabbed a pen and wrote down three key words to remind me this morning.

Volcano, Sea, Flood.

I was at home (my parents home) and I was packing to go to university and Mum was there, but Dad was out at work. Then it got all dark as if there was a storm. There was water crashing on the windows. We thought it must be a terrible storm, but we didn't worry until water came into the house under the front door. Then I looked out one of the windows and there was sea all around us about a foot deep.

In the distance I could see a huge orange flare. I got closer to the window and looked closer at it and thought it must be a volcano erupting in the sea. We live about 20 miles from the sea in Lincolnshire and we live just below the first 10m line on the OS map. So I figured that the volcano had erupted in the sea and caused a tsunami that had made a wave about 10m high (or so) come over a good portion of Lincolnshire. I have no idea how our house withstood it, but we weren't scared that it would fall down. I knew if the water went up higher I could go upstairs and be okay.

Then a big boat sailed up to our house. They were saying something about it not being a volcano. It was an explosion on a boat so they said. Because a boat exploding looks like lava spewing out of a volcano doesn't it? I didn't believe them. I did believe them though when they said they were giving up the sea defences at Boston and that we now officially didn't live on land.

Then I woke up.

Possible meanings: A volcano is a powerful warning sign, especially if it is erupting. Dreaming of a volcano indicates that you have been repressing or stifling intense emotions. The dream is a message to look for ways in which to release these safely in waking life. Flood dreams may indicate that your personal feelings are 'flooding out' into areas of your life, such as career, which are inappropriate. This could be a warning to find safe channels through which to direct your emotions.
