Dreaming of an Earthquake
🌙 Does this dream sound familiar?
The ground shakes violently and everything you trusted as solid trembles.
🏮 The folk interpretation
Folk belief: earthquake dreams warn of upheaval—quarrels, financial loss, or a sudden change. If you stay calm, you'll weather it; if you panic, trouble grows. Cracks in the ground hint at secrets revealed.
🧠 The psychological view (Jung)
Jung saw earthquakes as the Self shaking your foundations—a mirror of inner instability, not a premonition. It reflects fear of losing control or a buried emotion breaking through.
"Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate."
— C.G. Jung（要約・一般流布形）, Psychology and Alchemy の趣旨を要約した流布形表現
