Me and my wife were in a nearby town on a sunny day at a outdoor event. a small explosion went off in the distance, then the ground shook violently a second explosion about 1/2 mile away went off and created a small thin mushroom cloud. The ground cracked around us, like a crackle glaze on pottery, burning ash came up from the cracks. I grabbed my wife's hand and turned to run to my car 3 blocks away my wife couldn't run fast enough so I picked her up and sprinted to the car when the car was in sight I woke up.
This dream may indicate that you feel a sense of danger or insecurity in your waking life. The explosion and violent shaking could represent a sudden change or traumatic event that you fear or have recently experienced. The burning ash and cracked ground may symbolize the destruction and chaos that can come with this change or event.
Your instinct to protect and help your wife in the dream suggests a strong desire to keep those you love safe and secure. The dream may be urging you to take action to protect yourself and your loved ones from harm.
The fact that you woke up when you reached your car could represent a feeling of safety or security in a familiar environment. It may be a reminder to create a stable and secure environment in your waking life that you can retreat to in times of stress or uncertainty.
