If you dream of a lightning rod, something you have worked hard to build may soon come under threat. If the rod transforms into a serpent, those who wish you ill are gaining ground in their efforts against you. Should lightning strike the rod, an accident or jarring piece of news will bring grief your way. If someone is installing a lightning rod in your dream, consider it a caution against launching a new venture, as it is likely to end in disappointment. If the rods are being removed, changing your approach will actually improve your standing. Seeing multiple lightning rods scattered throughout the dream suggests a series of misfortunes lying in wait.
