Dreaming about being struck by lightning
What does it mean to dream you are struck by lightning?
Reported, and usually painless, which is in line with every injury report in this database.
Dreamers describe the strike, describe the aftermath, and describe feeling nothing. Several report watching it happen to themselves, which is the viewpoint shift that attaches to catastrophes so reliably.
Pain is one of the things dreaming generates least well, which is why a struck dreamer inspects the damage with curiosity rather than agony. The wound entry covers that finding and it holds here without modification.
Nothing about this is a warning or a premonition. It is a dramatic event that dreams are well equipped to stage and poorly equipped to make hurt.
Where this reads well
Dreamers usually find the absence of pain interesting once it is pointed out, having not noticed it at the time.
Where it is harder
The suddenness wakes people, and these are among the more startling dreams reported.
Worth asking yourself
Did it hurt? Was I watching or inside it? What happened afterwards?
Dream interpretation is subjective. Nothing here is a diagnosis, a prediction, or medical advice.
