Dreaming of a Disaster

- You're caught in a transport accident: you risk losing property or falling ill
- You're part of a disaster: you may lose your partner, through death or desertion
- A disaster at sea: losses for sailors, and bereavement for others
- A train wreck you're not caught in: a relative or friend will be hurt, or you'll have business trouble
