What does it mean when you dream about an earthquake?

Natural calamities such as floods, tornadoes, landslides and earthquakes create massive destruction. Such disasters, that are beyond human control cause immeasurable grief and irreplaceable loss. People lose precious life and property as a result of the scale of damage, and it takes years for people to rebuild homes and resurrect their lives. But should you be worried if you see such natural disasters in your dream? In this web-post, we shall tell you what it means when you dream about an earthquake.

An earthquake happens due to the tectonic shifting of the earth's crust and the apparent movement that takes place underneath. Buildings and other structures collapse, thereby resulting in massive destruction and displacement of humans. So what does an earthquake symbolise?

Instability becomes the root cause of a variety of troubles in a human's life. It leads to uncertainty, which, in turn, leads to a loss of clarity so on and so forth. The web of problem mounts to the extent that a person slips into a state of depression. An earthquake symbolises ambiguity, obscurity and lack of a clear plan for the future.

When a person dreams about an earthquake, he or she could be seeing a glimpse of their real-life experience; either past or a current situation, albeit in a metaphorical way. For instance, a person may be unsure about his or her job, or he or she may be worried because of a volatile situation.

They may not know whether or not hey would have a job in hand. The thought of the loss of a job can be disturbing. It can bring distress to not only the person but his or her entire family. 

Such a thought may bother people, even when they are emotionally vulnerable. 

Hence, when one dreams about an earthquake despite not having experienced it in real life, it could indicate that he or she must analyse their present situation and think of a way to deal with it head-on. Earthquakes happen all of a sudden and problems come to people's lives uninvited. Nonetheless, preparedness is what matters at the end of the day. Hence a person must have clarity, remain firm and disband instability for a better future.
