Dynamite

Dynamite often touches volatile, expanding force — the potential for sudden, dramatic change held under pressure. The dream may ask where your affairs are poised to burst into new scope, whether the energy gathering is one you control or a hidden enemy's, and how carefully you ought to handle a power that could build or destroy.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for dynamite, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901

Ten Thousand Dreams Interpreted

To see dynamite in a dream, is a sign of approaching change and the expanding of one's affairs. To be frightened by it, indicates that a secret enemy is at work against you, and if you are not careful of your conduct he will disclose himself at an unexpected and helpless moment.
