This dream also means that there’s a lot of pressure you’re facing right now, which is giving you mixed feelings about your current state and outlook on life. Alternatively, this dream has one common interpretation, that you’re feeling trapped in a situation. Believing you’re running from a disaster as it happens can be a sign there’s something in your life that makes you feel trapped and helpless.
Dreaming of Earthquake Building Collapse
If you dream about buildings collapsing, it is likely a sign that you are feeling stuck in your life and would like to find a new direction.Traditionally, collapsing buildings in dreams are said to signify failure and impending doom. However, seeing a collapsing building suggests issues with communication. This may be due to some past events or people that you have lost contact with. There are also chances that your dream is analogous to the fears a loved one or friend has been facing.

There will be earthquakes in various places; there will be famines. These are but the beginning of the birth pains.” Revelation 11:13 says “And at that hour there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell. Seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, and the rest were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven.”
