Dreaming Lens: Were you witnessing the activities of electricity or simply acknowledging its presence? Were you out of power? Was the sense of electric flow contained or uncontrolled? Were you attempting to control the power, or was it controlling you? Did you get shocked?
Personal Focus: Electricity is an invisible force that is present in our lives for most of us in the Western world on a daily basis. We generally take it for granted, but trust it to be there when we flick a switch. In this regard, it symbolizes faith and the power to manifest your thoughts into reality. We don’t necessarily know how it works, only that it does indeed work. We are completely dependent upon it for smooth functioning of our lives. In this way it is like faith; it is most apparent when we lose it.
Electricity is the basis for many forms of energy. From the outside world of machinery to the inner world of the brain and central nervous system, it is this mysterious force that is exemplified in the relationship between cause and effect. When harnessed properly, it can work miracles. By the same token, it is deadly when we connect to more of it than our bodies can handle. It represents the power we yield as human beings to create our own destiny, and the responsibility to use that power wisely.
When electricity is the theme in a dream, you are considering your relationship to the flow of creative energy that infuses life with possibility. The Dreaming Lens and your emotional response to the dream can inform you of how much faith you have that something is possible even when there is no evidence of it in your current circumstances.
If the electricity is out, you may be experiencing a spiritual crises or a dark night of the soul—a time in which you cannot clearly see where you are going. The successful harnessing of electricity toward a particular aim could be expressing a move into your power to create. Being electrocuted might point to being overwhelmed by your own power to manifest your desires. It could also represent the feeling of shock associated with being presented by something unexpected in life that you are actually responsible for creating. The conduits of electricity—switches, outlets, power chords, and so forth—represent the tools with which you tap into the endless supply of creative energy needed to fill your life with abundance.
