Okay, so last night I had this super intense dream about an earthquake. It felt so real, and I woke up totally freaked out. I’m not usually one to read too much into dreams, but this one stuck with me, so I decided to do a little digging into what it might mean.
First, I grabbed my phone and just Googled “earthquake in dream meaning”. I know, super basic, but I figured it was a good starting point. I scrolled through a bunch of different websites – some were a little too “woo-woo” for me, talking about cosmic shifts and whatnot. But others had some interesting, down-to-earth interpretations.
My Research Process:
- Started with Google: Just a simple search to get the ball rolling.
- Sifted through results: Skipped the overly mystical stuff, looked for more practical explanations.
- Read a few articles: Focused on ones that seemed reasonable and resonated with me.
- Checked the source: I make sure to check if the source is a psychologist or related field, otherwise, I will skip it.
- Made notes: Jotted down some key ideas that popped up repeatedly.
I found a lot of stuff about feeling unstable or like things in my life are shaking up. Makes sense, right? Earthquakes are all about disruption and change. Some sites talked about feeling overwhelmed or out of control. Others mentioned repressed emotions or anxieties bubbling to the surface.
After reading a bunch of different interpretations, I started to think about what’s been going on in my own life lately. I mean, I’ve have a big project deadline at work. Could the dream be about that? Or maybe it’s because I will travel back to my hometown tomorrow.
I spent a good hour or so just reflecting, writing in my journal, and trying to connect the dots. It wasn’t like I had some huge “aha!” moment, but it did help me feel a little more grounded and less freaked out by the dream.
I realized I don’t need all the answers. And dream is just a dream. Maybe this earthquake dream was a little nudge to pay attention to the things that are stressing me out and to find some healthy ways to cope. I’ll try some meditation before bed and maybe talk to my boyfriend about how I’m feeling. That should help me chill out a bit. It was a worthwhile way to spend my morning, anyway!
