The dream then means that you have reached a point where it is normal for your emotional state to be shaken. A tsunami is a disaster, not something common. However, as it manifests itself in a symbol of your entire emotional self, it overwhelms you completely. This needs to be resolved, before it causes further destruction.

Does dreaming about tsunami indicate trouble?

Yes, dreams with tsunami indicate a harmful emotional out of control. It is not a premonition of specific problems, but rather a diagnosis from your unconscious about your current emotional state and your way of reacting to problems of this nature. It indicates destructive behavior, which in turn brings more problems while it is not controlled.

It is important to remember that all of this can be solved with concentrated and directed effort. The unconscious shows you the problem in a symbolic way and it is up to your conscious side to solve it.
