Disappearing into the earth, in a dream, is a distant journey, or becoming affiliated with whoever the earth represents through love, marriage or some tie. For the sick it is death. For people of (mystical) love, disappearing is contemplation and unveiling.
Whoever sees that he disappeared into the earth without digging, and went so deep that he thought he would not come up, is deluded in pursuit of this world and will die in that, and in putting himself at risk.
