Dreaming about tsunami

Emotion arriving in a mass too large to meet — the wave dream is about scale, not about water..

What research shows

Not a separate item in the standard questionnaire; floods scored around 23%, and tsunami dreams cluster in the same range.

The psychological reading

Almost always includes the moment of seeing it coming and being unable to act, which is the part that carries the meaning.

The version matters

Different ways this dream shows up

Most dream dictionaries give one meaning for the whole symbol. In practice the specific version carries most of the information — losing every tooth and losing one tooth are not the same dream.

How to record a dream, why the feeling matters more than the content, and when recurring nightmares are worth a doctor rather than a dictionary — set out once on the main page.

Before you look anything up

How the dream felt matters more than what was in it. The same image can arrive as comfort or as threat, and that difference tells you more than any entry in a dictionary — including this one.
