Heatwave

A heatwave in a dream is the dream's image of sustained temperature that wears the body and the land. The heatwave is not a single hot afternoon; it is days in a row at a level the ordinary routine was not designed for. The dream brings the heatwave when something in your life — an extended period of high pressure, a crisis that will not subside, a stretch of intense emotional weather — has gone on long enough to be exhausting the systems that usually cope. A heatwave endured with shade and water available is the dream affirming that the supports are in place. A heatwave endured without shelter, with the land cracking, is the dream noting that the supports were not stockpiled and the long heat is now doing structural damage.
