Earthquake
Earthquake dreams represent fundamental disruption — something shaking the very foundations of your life or beliefs. These dreams often appear during major life changes: divorce, job loss, health crises, or identity shifts. The intensity of the earthquake reflects how deeply you feel the change affects your core stability.
Hiding
Hiding in dreams represents avoidance, the desire for protection, or shame about something in your life. What you're hiding from reveals what you're avoiding in waking life. Successfully hiding may indicate relief from pressure, while being found despite hiding suggests that avoidance isn't working. Hiding someone else may represent protecting someone or concealing a secret.
