Dreaming of an Explosion

explosion, bang, blast, detonation · negative

An explosion in a dream foretells annoyance and losses caused by those around you, and trust betrayed.

What happens in the dream

  • Your face or someone else's is blackened or mutilated: you'll be unjustly accused of an indiscretion, with appearances against you
  • The air is full of smoke and debris: widespread discontent in business and social friction
  • You're caught in flames or blown into the air: unworthy friends will trample your rights and abuse your trust
  • You dream of explosions: people connected with you will cause you brief displeasure and loss, and business will frustrate you

How you felt

  • Pent-up anger: the dream often reflects tension that's about to blow
  • Powerlessness: other people's actions may feel out of your control

Ask yourself

  • What is about to blow up around me, or inside me?
  • Whom did I trust too quickly?
