Electricity
Electric shock, Live wires, Power lines
Electricity is invisible energy that makes everything run, and you only notice it when something buzzes, sparks or suddenly stops. In a dream it usually relates to your own drive and excitement, and to the connections between people. A strong current hints at a burst of motivation or a strong pull toward someone. Faulty wiring that crackles can show tension at home or at work that's easier to fix early. A small static shock is a playful image of surprise, a jolt that makes you notice something you'd overlooked.
