Eruption
Eruptions capture sudden release, buried passion, and the transformational power of intensity.

An eruption—volcanic or emotional—signals pressure that can no longer stay contained. These dreams often arrive when feelings, creativity, or truth needs expression, encouraging you to channel the surge into purposeful action instead of collateral damage.
Common Meanings
