Last night, I was experiencing an earthquake in my dreams. No. It's not about that "prediction" that there's going to be an 8.1 intensity earthquake in the Philippines tomorrow. It's more personal, really.

As soon as I got hold of the computer mouse... click here, click there... got it!


"If you dream of an earthquake, be prepared for some major changes in your life. A move, change in jobs or change in mates is in store for you." -www.dreamingminds.8m.com


"This suggests great anxiety. But it is often dreamt when enormous personal changes are occurring, perhaps brought on by slow gathering change that suddenly pushes into consciousness." -www.dreamhawk.com


"To dream of an earthquake, suggests that you are experiencing a major "shake-up" that is threatening your stability and foundation. The dream highlights you insecurity, fears and sense of helplessness. If you find cover from the quake, you will overcome these challenges. If you become trapped or injured during the quake, you will suffer loss of your business and assets." -www.brilliantdreams.com


"Unlike some of the other dreams about natural disasters, earthquakes usually symbolize parts of the dreamer's physical reality rather than his emotional life. The earthquake in the dream may be representing financial difficulties, health issues, or any number of other problems that could occur in daily life. An experience that is 'shaking you up, and changing your daily life, could be creeping into your dream state and showing up as an earthquake." -www.dreamloverinc.com


"Psychological Meaning: Something is upsetting you that has destroyed your feeling of security. You may feel that your whole world is falling apart and you 'quake with fear'. Similarly, something may be threatening you from below the surface of your awareness. This may be a repressed fear or anxiety that you have pushed underground into the depths of your unconscious.

Mystical Meaning: Dream superstition interprets earthquakes as a symbol for a change in circumstances." -www.dreamsleep.net


So what does it say about my life? The word "stress" is written all over my face. The word "panic" is synonymous to any work-related tasks. And the word "relax" is no longer in my mental vocabulary. I attest that most of these interpretations are true. I'm no Nostradamus but I know myself.
