Electrified Electricity Electrocuted
In general it relates to your energy in all its aspects, mental, emotional and psychic. This energy, like electricity, can be very positive or harmful. i.e. fears and long held grief can cause illness. In some dreams the electricity is seen as frightening or threatening, this is because there are levels of your own potential and feeling you are not handling well. You may be feeling a lot of self criticism for instance and that can be harmful. The electricity can also be ’shocking’. This suggests some event or feelings are painful. Or a motor is burning out, showing how you need to be careful how you are dealing with your energy and emotions.
The drama in the dream will suggest whether the energy or emotion is being met or used constructively or destructively. For instance in some conditions of anxiety or excitement one can ‘burn oneself out’. It is this power of our feelings and drives that electricity in dreams refers to.
Just as we are all enmeshed in an intricate chemical environment, in which detergents, fertilisers and hormones are now part of our food chain, so we are enmeshed in a massive electronic environment. Our dreams may give us insight into how we relate to this and it to us.
Example: We came to a hill sloping down. Somehow we were then airborne and rushed downwards and across the valley. Then we became frightened because we were hurtling towards the opposite hillside at the wrong angle. We would hit it instead of gliding along above the ground until we landed like planes touching down. A power cable was crossing the valley. For a while I held it to guide our glide, but was frightened of the current and let to, and it was the wrong angle anyway. But somehow we managed to land okay.
The dreamer explored his dream and said that gliding down is the descent into experiencing the problem I have of holding on to people because of the security they give me. The flying is me being carried along by the inner forces to facing or experiencing the fear of the problem. The power line is the descending life energies. I let go because I am involved in fear of failure, of being hurt. The power line is also the humility before life, realising how much we depend on Life for our existence. So I turn toward that help. The turning and the descending power are one.
Electricity can be the source for so many things such as sound, images, hospital treatments, computers and power as for a vacuum cleaner. So your life energy can also flow in many different ways, depending on how you direct it.

In real life my mom, my boyfriend and I live in the same house. I take care of my mother who has dementia, she is only 42. My boyfriend had a dream he walked out of one room in the house and heard me screaming. He said the scream sounded horrible and ugly. Then when he came to see what was wrong, my mom was being electrocuted he didn’t know how. I ran to our bedroom screaming and crying and he tried to catch my mom as she finally fell but he knew it was too late she was dead. He said the dream was very vivid. My mom was violently shaking and he face was burnt and puffy. He said when he woke up he was bothered for a long time still because the nightmare was so bad. He couldn’t go back to sleep. I was just wondering what you may think about the dream.
Michelle – I have a feeling that sometimes you leave your mother alone. Your boyfriend feels such a responsibility that he fears something awful could happen to your mom.
In a sense the dream, as awful as it is, is also an end to the responsibility, because your mom is dead. So the dream has two functions. But do not think this is in any way a prediction. It is a nightmare.

Just now i head the most strangest dream i have ever dreamed for as long as i can remember. I was in a sort of an apartment building, and in one floor, on the open-view corridor there was a beautiful girl, about my age (early 20’s) that was cleaning the floor. there were all these kids who were rushing about filling buckets and fetching mops. i started helping her clean the floor but soon stopped. i think i asked “why do i got to do this?” and but i don’t remember her reply, however i remember her attitude was extremely positive. i walked away and got into one of the apartments. an old lady i have never seen in my life was there, siting on a low chair. she said “am i ready” and i said what for. she stared at me and i looked at her eyes. all of a sudden i started to feel electrocuted, and a sound of buzzing in my left ear. i didn’t stop looking at her eyes and she asked me a question i could not hear. i told her “i can’t hear” and she asked it again… this went on for about 3 times and all i could hear from her question was “do you want”. suddenly everything went black and i woke up. but i still felt electrocution very vividly and as if something was clutching my left shoulder. i couldn’t bring myself to move for several minutes and i now have a very uneasy feeling. Is there any interpretation for this dream
Shai – In your dream you start of in a situation I which you are experiences a lot of people – the apartment building. But it is one person that is the central figure – the beautiful girl. And because you walked away from that opportunity – whether it is an outward or inward one – you were confronted by the old lady.
The old woman very often represents the power of experience, or old experience and wisdom. In terms of you, it can signify your own intuitive power – a power because it carries a lot of your own energy and wholeness with it. Such power released from your own amazing potential that is usually not know or recognised, is enormous. It feels like a shock because you are not used to it. But it often comes when you meet something bigger than your conscious self.
She asks if you are ready – for a full relationship with the beautiful woman. Obviously you do not want to hear or know what that means. So go back to the girl in the dream and see, in your imagination, what happens.

Last night I had a dream that I was being questioned by a doctor, or medical practitioner about general life things. She decided to run tests by attaching an electrical machine to my knee to electricute me. It didn’t hert, so she slowly turned the dial up until I could feel it. She did this for a while, and afterward, sent something in a jar away for tests. Realy weird! Would like to know what this means?
Jessica – The dream starts with the suggestion that this is about healing and getting you well. The test is to see how you react to electricity – i.e. your own life energy. Electricity can be the source for so many things such as sound, images, hospital treatments, computers and power as for a vacuum cleaner. So your life energy can also flow in many different ways, depending on how you direct it.
The knee is usually used to see how well your body reacts at a level beneath your conscious mind, so it may be that you were found okay. But the thing that was sent away for tests was probably to do with the fact that any new experience that you face has to be digested. The doctor was questioning you about life things – in other words you were questioning about Life. And that is maybe the new thing that has to be digested.
So you have to wait now to see another dream that will take you forward in your growth.

I dreamt that I was at my parent’s house in the kitchen and I touched the oven and got badly electricuted. I didn’t fall or anything, but I was able to grab my cup of water and walk into the living room. My husband and mom were sitting on the couch and I started crying. I then fell to the ground and couldn’t speak. I knew I was dying, but then I woke up. I have never had a dream like this before. It scared me really bad.
Last couple of nights i had really strange dreams. Once of them I was dying, i could here my own heart beat was slowing down and my eyes closing and at that moment i said someones name.
Lasr night I waas electrocuted from my phone, again i closed my eyes, i could feel the phone was shaking me andsplit into pieces and parts throwing to my face. It was very scary. What does it mean?
Yaz – Your dreams are trying to give you an experience of death, but feeling scared you stopped the dream from completing itself. I have twice dreamt of my heart stopping. I was so real and I could feel my heart stop. I was quite pleased because I thought, “Wow! This is it!” I was pleased because as I get old I long for the freedom of the other world that I know.
So do not be afraid when you feel you are dying because in dreams you cannot be hur or die. See http://dreamhawk.com/dream-encyclopedia/what-we-need-to-remember-about-dreaming/#Hurt

Tony, I see you replied to all other posts except mine. Can you please tell me your interpretation of my dream? I would appreciate a reply. Thank you.
I have just woken from a horrible dream first It was like I were looking through a window at people getting shocks from touching the handle of my fridge then went to me laying in bed hiding under the cover and someone trying to make me smell some poisonous gas laughing I got up and was hitting her and she was just screaming I hate you its terrified me
I dreamt last night that I saw a man unknown to me flying a kite. He was flying near trees and we told him to move away from the trees so the kite would not get tangled. He then moved to an open field with powerlines above him. The kite got tangled in the wires and I could see the electricity travel down into him. I wanted to help but stopped myself because I was afraid I too would get shocked. In order to stop being shocked he had to throw himself into an electric fence. At that time he stood up and wet his pants. ???? huh ???
I’ve seen some people write their dreams here, so I thought I’d share mine.
I was in a train carriage, I was scared, the other 2 men were calm, as if they’d been through it all a million times. The train carriage was not like a passenger train with rows of seats, but I had a seat, like a dining room chair, and so did the other 2 men. The compartment entrance didn’t have a door and it was large, I faced forwards, a man faced the entrance, my right, the other faced me, so he was going backwards. I could hear the clang of a metal rod hitting the ground every few seconds along with sizzling electricity, gradually getting closer. I looked up at the man across from me, he was calm still, and said “hunch up on the seat and it won’t affect you” so I did.
Suddenly I felt the most horrid pain ever, it felt so real like I could feel it in real life, it was electrocution, I tried to say “why is this affecting me?!” my mouth slightly opened but the words didn’t come out. I couldn’t move. I kept screaming “help” but once again the words weren’t coming out. This went on for far too long, the agony, the screaming with no words escaping, trying to move but not being able to, until finally I felt a pressure release from my head, and I was fine. Perfectly back to normal.
Electrocution like that would kill you, but this device was just used for torture I guess. I have some really weird bizarre nightmares. Also never saw the man who was doing it but the subconscious knew it was a man.
Hi Tony, I find your site very helpful and it is very kind of you to reply to them. I’m hoping you’d do the same thing to me. I had this dream last night about a wire burning. I fell asleep very late and I can’t remember what I was actually dreaming about but in the middle of my sleep I smelled a wire burning so I woke up right way, thinking that maybe one of our cable wires or outlets at home is burning. I checked eveything and it was okay, nothing’s burning so I tried to get some sleep again. After a couple of minutes I fell asleep and when it’s about to go deeper I smelled the burning wire again. It felt so real that I had to get up and check all our appliances and outlets again. I felt scared ‘coz I thought I might have left something out, but there’s nothing burning. This went on the whole night and I wasn’t able to get a good sleep ‘coz I kept smelling that burning wire. I felt a little scared about this. It’s as if I’m hallucinating or something. I’m still trying to figure what kind of anxiety could cause this to have me dreaming this bad like its really happening to me. Can you help me figure this out? I’d really appreciate it.
I just had a dream and in a part of it there was a scene of these two men from my former martial arts community. Ever since I moved I didn’t get the chance to say goodbye I’ve had a dream about them twice, I think? Anyways, I walked into a store where they’re supposed to be working, I’m talking to them and the next thing I know is they’re being electrocuted. After this I’m sitting in my living room watching the video online about them being electrocuted but I’m nowhere to be seen on the video. I go really worried. We weren’t close but we met a few times a month (5-15 a month depends when they felt like showing up) for half a year. Yes I do wish to see them again, but this dream really has me wondering what this means? I usually never have an urge to find out what my dreams mean but I do now. Hope you reply
Love, Victoria
