Underground world
Underground city, Hidden world below, Center of the earth
Below the familiar streets, a whole hidden world opens up: glowing caverns, quiet cities, rivers running in the dark. Dreams like this often deal with the life that goes on beneath your everyday routine, such as a plan you haven't shared, a side project or a circle of people others don't know about. Finding someone living down there can mean you've met a community that plays by its own rules. Stories from Jules Verne's 'Journey to the Center of the Earth' to tales of a hollow earth picture this realm as strange yet full of wonders, and your dream may carry the same mix.
