What does it mean when you dream about a volcano?

A dream about an erupting volcano often represents an emotional eruption that is building up within the dreamer’s psyche, and hence is a warning to the individual to let off steam before a blowup.

Volcano

(dreams)
Volcanic eruptions in dreams usually represent our erupting emotions. Feelings that you may be harboring during the day might take the form of a volcanic eruption in a dream state. The unconscious psyche may be releasing positive or negative feelings in the safety of a dream (i. e., strong sexual feelings, passion, anger, rage, and fear). Superstitionbased dream interpretations say that pouring lava is a warning about poor health.
