Bomb Shell

A bomb shell in a dream is sudden, explosive disruption, and the old books tie it to anger and disputes ending in lawsuits, displeasing incidents in its wake. The dream tends to touch the thing that detonates a situation, and to ask where pressure has built to the point of going off, and what the blast will scatter.
