Volcano dream meaning is explained below using 32 different sources. Each interpretation is shown with its source.

Interpretation 1 — Dr. Michael Lennox

Universal Landscape: Feeling rage; destructive expression after prolonged constraint or restraint.

Dreaming Lens: Were you near the volcano? Were you under its reach? Were you witnessing it from above or at a distance? Was it erupting? Was it dormant? Were there people in harm’s way? Were you experiencing fear? Were you exhilarated?

Personal Focus: The outer image of the volcano reveals the aftermath of the essence of this symbol: constraint or restraint. The Earth’s crust can only hold back the brewing force of heat and combustion for so long before the build up of pressure generates an explosive eruption that permanently changes the landscape.

The intense heat and molten lava connect to feelings of rage, anger, and any other suppressed emotions of great power. The eruption would be the breaking point that is either imminent or close at hand. A dormant volcano connects to past issues of pent-up stressors no longer threatening your comfort and safety. An active volcano indicates an ongoing, volatile situation that may just currently be emitting steam, but can re-erupt at any moment. The lava flow itself is the dangerous aftermath of expressing feelings of rage. The ash that rains down after the explosion aligns with the way an outburst tends to leave the entire environment coated with some evidence of the conflict.

Whatever is at risk of being destroyed by a volcano will reveal the parts of life that feel vulnerable to the experience of withheld anger. A city or town might indicate that your social associations and circles of friends play an important role. A lush valley might point to the dissolution of serenity. An urban center might mean that institutions or your greater community is at the cause of your building frustration. Whatever lies in the path of a volcano’s destruction can be explored for clues to what your unconscious is harboring resentment toward. Evacuate, if you can.
