Explosion – An explosion can be a powerfully positive or negative symbol. It always symbolizes destruction, so the value placed on the symbol depends on what is being destroyed. An explosion denotes such complete destruction that it can make way for intense new growth, if you can move beyond the initial loss. However, if you are attached to the things destroyed in the explosion, then the message of the dream is devastating. If the emotion that accompanies the symbol of explosion is excitement, this is an indication that you are ready to leave behind something in your past and embrace a new road. If it is terror, this is an indication that you feel the presence of a threat that you fear will destroy everything you value.
