Spiritual Meaning:
We have become aware of the uncontrollable forces of life and  the unconscious.

Psychological / Emotional Perspective:
There is a fear of irrationality and of power that could be used wrongly. An atom bomb is a deliberately engineered explosion designed to be destructive. We may feel that someone else may destroy and nullify our carefully constructed life.

Everyday Material Aspects:
Where anxiety regarding the external world is experienced, we need to be aware that the end of a particular way of life is imminent in an especially dramatic fashion. Often there is a sense of an explosion of destructive energy
before everything must be rebuilt.
