Volcano dream meaning - Volcano dreams, scene by scene

Traditionally, volcanoes have sometimes been interpreted as scenes where suppressed energy surges or emotions suddenly come to the surface. But since volcanoes are a relatively modern symbol, they may be read differently depending on the scale and emotions in the dream.

Write the dream and we tell the symbol and the scene apart (seeing a snake, being bitten, a snake entering the house) to show the reading that fits. Inherited interpretations sit beside possibilities seen through the mind, to help you look back on how you feel today. Only readings written and reviewed by the MaumStory editors are published.
