Interpretation 1 — Dreampedia
A dream about a bomb can sometimes be triggered by a deeply disturbing experience in your waking life. Otherwise, your dream is trying to alert you to a potentially explosive situation. You may need to face up to feelings you have been suppressing before they overpower you and create havoc. If there is ongoing conflict in some area of your life, you could be toying with the idea of dropping a bombshell in an attempt to resolve it, once and for all.
Questions to ask yourself - and what to do when the answer is ‘yes’
Have I been thrown off balance by a traumatic event?
- Under these circumstances, healing ultimately comes with the passage of time. If you do your best to adjust to the new circumstances, you will emerge from your experience with wisdom you might not otherwise have gained.
Am I repressing some powerful feelings?
- Your dream is urging you to try and resolve the situation before you blow a fuse. If you don’t know how to go about it, consider confiding in a friend or a member of your family. If this is impossible, then it would be best to seek professional help.
Would I secretly like to say or do something explosive?
- While you may have good reason to feel as you do, cultivating a sense of being hard done by can only make matters worse. If you want your circumstances to change, you must be first willing to change your attitude. Can you see how you have actually helped to create this situation? This means that you are actually more powerful than you think you are. Claiming that power and using it more wisely is the key to success.
