Our dreams reflect our concerns, our fears and also our emotions, so it is so important to find the most appropriate interpretation and to work to improve and find our well -being. Therefore, we are not scared of dreams with negative meanings such as dreaming of Lava, a dream that talks about negative emotions, overflowing or terrible agitation. Because from this experience we can take a lot of profit and we show you how to do it in our Dream Dictionary.
We have all heard about the lava of the volcanoes but, do we really know what was the lava? Gone are the natural science classes at school and maybe we have lost sight of what exactly what we are dreaming is. It seems that rocks and gases merge into the mantle of the earth creating magma. That magma that becomes a lava when it is expelled to the surface of the earth.
The lava reaches very high temperatures and once the eruption of the volcano occurs all the lava is razing everything in its path in a mixture of fire and avalanche. And you can imagine that this combination of fire and avalanche has a powerful symbolism in dreams. On the one hand the destructive power of fire with its excessive force and against which little can be done.
On the other hand, that avalanche of lava that is identified with an avalanche of emotions when your whole life staggers until it collapses. When everything surpasses you, when circumstances sink you, when life, in short, can with you. But we do not want to get nefarious because even from the worst nightmares we can take good advantage.
So we continue with that lava that you dream that comes out of the volcano and affects anywhere that passes to leave it with nothing. The lava continues its course until it cools and solidifies and that is when it leaves yermos landscapes but that they do not stop having their beauty.
Now we have a clearer image of what you can symbolize the lava in dreams. To all of the above we must add that in most cultures the volcanoes were associated with the gods and their eruption meant the manifestation of divine anger. Perhaps by cultural proximity, we find it easier to understand that relationship with the gods through hefest.
Hephaest or Vulcano, as more familiar to you, worked and lived in its forge. And, do you know where his forge was, his workshop, his home? Indeed, under a volcano to take advantage of all that temperature and the fire that is created inside the earth.
And when a God got angry, there always appeared the lava to destroy everything after the eruption of a volcano. Surely you are considering that you are not a God, but most likely you have contained anger and you have to expel it in some way. Hence, you dream of lava, not as a suggestion, but as an alert of the emotional moment you are living.
No matter what happens in your dream with Lava as what is happening inside. In your dream you can see it clearly lava or you can simply intuit it because you are far from the volcano. It can be an eruption of a volcano or it may be that the lava appears out of nowhere. You may become an observer of a nightmare of destruction of the environment or you may see yourself petrified under the lava.
What really matters about this dream is the amount of negative or poorly managed emotions that are preventing you from developing your life normally. Anger, resentment, anger, even victimism. You feel about to exploit so we can add stress, anxiety or too much responsibility. Overwhelmed and pressure, a generalized emotional wear that has to leave somewhere.
And you fear it comes out in the worst possible way. That is the lava of your dream, your fear of exploding causing irreparable consequences around you. So wake up, take a breath and look for ways to expel all those negative emotions without damaging others. But do not stay, because storing emotional discomfort is never an option.
