Avalanche
Accumulation that lets go at once
What it often means
An avalanche in a dream is what happens when too much accumulates on an unstable slope and lets go all at once — pressure, emotion, or obligation that has built silently until a small trigger brings it all down. The snow was gathering long before it moved.
When it tends to appear
- When pressure has been accumulating silently
- When a small trigger threatens to bring everything down
- When emotion or obligation has built past the slope's limit
Sit with these questions
- 1
What has been quietly accumulating on an unstable slope?
- 2
What small trigger are you afraid will set it all loose?
- 3
What could you release in time, before it releases itself?
