Dream symbol · V
Volcano
A symbol of accumulated anger and powerful primal forces about to erupt.
Dream interpretation
The volcano is an archetype of the powerful unconscious. It represents feelings that have been bubbling deep beneath the surface of your consciousness. An erupting volcano suggests that you can no longer hide your true emotions or passions—they will come to light, often in a dramatic way. If you see lava, it is a sign of purifying, albeit intense energy. In a modern context, it can mean an upcoming professional or personal breakthrough that will completely change the 'landscape' of your life.
