Eagle: 1) PSYCHOLOGY: The archetype Zeus's courier. It was the eagle that was sent to the mortal plane to snatch up the shepherd boy Ganymede and carry him back to Olympus (the Collective Unconscious), the realm of the Gods (archetypes). On what errand could the gods have sent the eagle in your dream? Earthquake: 1) PSYCHOLOGY: An Ego fear: the psychic surface upon which the Ego stands can't be trusted not to yawn open and plunge it into the perceived chaotic peril of the Unconscious below. Eclipse: 1) PSYCHOLOGY: If it is a solar eclipse, this may signal a spectacular overshadowing of the conscious forces (Sun) by the Unconscious (Moon). If it is a lunar eclipse, it may indicate that an important feminine (Moon) influence in your life is being overshadowed or removed. Elephant: 1) PSYCHOLOGY: A symbol of the fully-realized Self, which recognizes no obstacles in its path. Engine: 1) PSYCHOLOGY: A focus on your own motive force -- the instincts, emotions and urges that drive you. Evening: 1) PSYCHOLOGY: Time for a winding down of conscious activity and worrisome busy-ness, so that the dreamer may relax and spend some time with oneself -- that is, with the parts of one's Self introduced into the dream by one's Unconscious. Explosion: 1) PSYCHOLOGY: A sudden, shocking release of psychic energy which had been under tremendous pressure; this could be a warning that repressed elements within the Unconscious are ready to explode into your rational world as a sudden fit of rage or some other emotional release.
