A tsunami is the act of the water having an opposite reaction to an earthquake. The shifting in the tectonic plates causes a wave and as the wave moves forward, it gains speed and more water is being pushed. Once the wave reaches landfall it is usually dangerously large. This wave is called a tsunami and it can devastate any region. For example, Phuket, Thailand in 2004.

Why are there no ways to interprite tsunami simulation dreams?
The unconscious is represented in dreams as the ocean. To dream of a tsunami means the unconscious is pushing itself into consciousness, with the intent of influencing the dreamer.
