A volcano is the classic image of feelings building under pressure — anger, passion or frustration kept below the surface. Dream books read a quiet, smoking volcano as tension that has not yet found release. An eruption is usually read as an emotional outburst, your own or someone else’s, that has been building for a long time. Running from flowing lava stands for avoiding a confrontation, while watching from a safe distance points to recognising strong feelings without being swept away by them. Tradition also remembers that volcanic soil is unusually fertile. It can help to notice what has been simmering in you.
Does the traditional reading fit your dream, or did it mean something else to you?
My Cosmic Code has a private dream journal. Write a dream down and the app picks out the symbols in it, shows what dream books say about them and, over time, which words recur across your entries. The journal is stored on your device only.
