The Spiritual Meaning Of Being Struck By Lightning In A Dream:
It is about awakening
Lightning dreams can be spiritual awakenings.
It’s as if someone switched on a spotlight in total darkness.
These dreams’ clarity can absolutely be daunting but also freeing.
They force me to step back and examine my life, the people around me, and what lies inside of me by challenging the beliefs I take comfort in every day.
Clarity of this kind is not only clarity about the external but also an indescribable deeper way to understand myself.
In every dream in which I was hit by lightening, it always signified a moment of change.
Every pivot in my career, transformation of a personal bond or other important change has been heralded by one of these dreams.
These triggers drive me to explore different avenues.
The intensity of this dream parallels the emotional turmoil associated with a significant life transition.
It is about divine intervention
Zeus used to threw lightning bolts to show his strength. He performed it as a indication of his divine power.
Anytime I see myself being struck by lightning in a dream, all I can think of is that it’s some kind of sign from above.
It is not about punishment or fear – it all comes in a friendly spirit of advising and awakening.
When a lightning bolt shows itself in my dream, it is like a beacon light shining directly on points of focus or elements within the storm that require attention.
It is not always easy to put this trust into practice in the process of divine guidance. It takes trust, and relinquishing control in order to submit to the wisdom that is being given.
That trust is why every time I dream of being struck by lightning, it reminds me to put my faith in them.
It is in these moments that I truly feel connected to something more than me.
As if the lines that separate physical from spiritual disappear and I am able to draw deeper into an ocean of universal clarity.
It is about emotional intensity
Lightning in my dreams is also an emotional symbol for me.
The unpredicted and explosive act of a lightning strike is connected to the sensations I might be experiencing during an intense fear, anger, or dread feeling.
They have been stirring the emotions that I am trying to suppress.
These dreams can be really powerful. Imagine that lightning is doing the same in my subconscious, clearing up haziness and uncovering unprocessed feelings I have.
The flash and the thunder are often followed by fear not dissimilar to that which I feel in waking hours around letting these emotions run.
It is a process that can be brutal and freeing.
It is frightening at first, but after the storm ends, it provides clarity and peace. It is like the storm has cleared, and what remains is a light, clear (or neutral) emotional space.
These dreams reveal to me a new lesson in emotional sincerity.
Think of it as an emotional hurricane inside. But letting myself feel through these emotions is how you heal and experience a whole new level of inner peace.
It is about creation
I have always had an eerie sense of wonder when seeing lightning bolts in a dream, as it manifests the destructive yet generative duality surrounding the subject.
The brutal strike of lightning, yes, the end to something meaningful in my life.
Maybe it’s an old-fashioned mind frame, a poisonous relationship or a detrimental practice I’ve held onto for far too long.
The destructive power of lightning burns away all the things that are old and stale in my life, so there is space for new beginnings.
I feel this part of the dream is a much-needed release, a cleansing tidal wave washing away all that does not support me anymore and leaving an open field for revival – rebirth.
There is a silver lining; in my dreams, lightning hails energy and ideas.
This power is great, and transformative with purpose, it compels me to use it for good.
It is about instinct
My uncertainty disappears (when I see a lighting), making me realize I need to trust myself.
It is an example of how intuition can blast through at warp speed when logical reasoning is coming up short.
When you put your trust in this intuitive knowledge, navigating life happens way smoother.
These instincts are more in tune with my true self, and so when I listen to them, it helps me make better decisions.
Self-trust and recognizing that I have a lot of really powerful answers in me.
These dreams also bring home the fact that it is vital to stay in the moment conscious.
You have to react just like a reflex when lightning strikes.
It’s a way my body and mind tell me to pay attention to the signs I should act on now with immediacy boldly.
The added awareness opens a door. It allows me to walk through life with greater calm and self-assuredness.
It is about spiritual shielding
I want to add that getting struck by lightning always felt like a powerful dream, but in this strength, there was something profoundly spiritual and protecting.
Though lightning can look incredibly destructive, like most forces of energy in the world just looks scarier than it is and has a much more soothing message.
Like, that the universe is letting me know it may be a bit crazy out there but I am being watched and directed by forces higher than myself.
A symbol of armor against darkness in the form of lightning.
In many of these dreams, I experience a gush of energy, as if some divine intervention goes internally to erect an imagined shield around me that bars the ill energies and influences from coming in.
I recognize that I am not the only person on this adventure with spirits looking out for my well-being, which seems to be doing an even better job at it.
