Dreaming about the underground featuring in your dream is often a symbol of your hidden subconscious and what lies there.
Underground dreams have powerful meanings and they are different for everyone because everyone holds different things inside their subconscious mind. This can be mental, emotional, sexual, or spiritual.
Often, dreaming about the underground is a way of your subconscious releasing itself which it cannot do in waking life, for whatever reason.
Dreaming of Being Underground
If you dream of being or going underground it can suggest a desire for transformation on a personal level.
If in the dream you are being buried alive (which then transforms it into a nightmare) this may be pointing towards your individuality being suffocated in some way, either by others or by yourself. You may feel there is no way out in your waking life.
If you dream that someone is purposely burying you alive or trapping you underground, it could be your subconscious’ way of alerting you to someone in your waking life who has hostile feelings towards you.
