La respuesta breve

An earthquake takes away the one thing we assume is solid. Many dreamers link it with a sudden change, or with a sense that the ground under their plans is not as steady as it looked.

Psicología e investigación

Investigación

Natural disasters appear among the themes that people report in surveys of typical dreams. The continuity view suggests they borrow the language of disaster to express waking upheaval: a move, a breakup, news that changes everything. Threat simulation theory, one contested account, reads such dreams as the mind rehearsing danger. If you have lived through a real earthquake, dreams about it can be part of how the mind processes that fear.

Historia

Artemidorus treated an earthquake as a sign of wide change touching many people at once, not only the dreamer. His point, that the scale of the image matters, is still a useful question to ask: is this change yours alone, or does it shake the people around you too?

Tradición popular

Tradición, no ciencia

Tradición: American popular dream books, around 1900

Miller's 1901 dream dictionary read an earthquake as a sign of business trouble and distress from upheaval in public affairs. It is one old reading, reported as history rather than prediction.
