Storm Dream Meaning

Stormy weather in a dream generally reflects current arguments or perhaps tempestuous feelings, particularly in the house. I always find that stormy weather in dreams is about the fact that something is “impacting you” and that you have had to cope with employment issues.

What does stormy weather mean in a dream?

Tornadoes, floods, along with blizzards are usually signals that you're longing for family matters or perhaps relationship problems. To see a storm approaching in your dream is normally about having to "move" in life. If you are in a relationship (or not in one) stormy weather can relate to someone thinking about you right now. For your love life, this is about someone wanting to talk to you in some way. Thunderstorms and lightning in dreams represent upheavals regarding feelings, particularly anger.

The same as real-life storms develop from different forces coming together, consequently storms in dreams frequently reflect conflict of some kind. I feel that when you have this dream you have the responsibility to start up for yourself. To be within a storm means conflict or mixed forces are typically between the dreamer and the family and between a variety of sides of yourself. 

To witness stormy weather dreams are signs of difficulty. To see the storm in a dream signals instances when you will probably be thrown off balance because of your internal turmoil or perhaps the chaos around you.  When somebody is in a “stormy relationship”, it means their relationship is full of damaging emotional powers. Violent thunderstorms in dreams indicate that you may feel your emotions are all over the place. The message of such a dream could be that you need to “weather a particular storm” and try to display your own capability in order to cope with life's challenges.

Thunderstorms clear the air and can supply the dreamer with a sense of release after the surprise (or even discussion) has been eliminated. Generally, bad weather is symbolic of any type of turmoil, whether it happens on a personal or mental level. The actual discord will often trigger emotional stress, but when it is launched, the dreamer will feel calmer.

What does it mean to dream of a storm?

A storm suggests depression and conflict. To dream that you are trapped by a storm on the sea or land means you have minor concerns that can be overcome if you are temperate. A storm in a dream is the premonition of danger and difficulty. Dreaming about a lighthouse or boat in the middle of a storm foretells difficulties and grief of the short term, but that can be overcome. To dream of a hurricane foretells that you should be careful about what risks you take, as your first step might be a disaster. Being in a hurricane in your dream suggests that your life will be very troubled for a period of time. Seeing a storm is probably one of the worst omens in dreams.

To see a storm and rain indicates you are likely to feel that an important relationship or challenge is on the horizon. The dream indicates that you are soon to be trusted in a situation, and you must understand the consequences. The way you approach the situation is extremely important. If you have been shaken by the storm, this is an indication that it is important for you to remain objective in your current life. The other indication of this dream is that you are going to have a big focus on an event that will affect your family members, friends, or workers. Make sure to ask other people for support when needed. This will be a positive event.

To survive a storm means that, in your life, you are going to have advancement, or "soaring to new heights". To dream of objects in the air that are crashing or being blown about represents emotions that require exploration. When a storm represents itself in the waking life, it provides quick change. Thus, a dream of seeing more than one storm may indicate a significant change in life.

A moving storm on land means you are headed toward a goal or moving ahead in general. Being caught in the center of the storm shows that you are taking charge of your life. On the same token, being within the storm means you are letting someone control you. To dream of seeing a storm from afar represents the physical body, so pay attention to the appearance of the storm. It is important to find out what part of your life these storms affect. Is there anything that is dangerous and could hurt you, something like a relationship or an enterprise?

The storm can be associated with life’s destruction, and it has the power to damage anything in its path. To have this dream means that you are likely to undertake a situation that may leave others or yourself ruined, so in essence, this dream is a warning. Storms can be seen as symbolizing the fear of life. In waking life, storms rip everything away and cause fear. To prevent any unfortunate situation, you must try to get your life sorted out before anything can cause such destruction. This dream can also be associated with your mental state of mind. Have you been feeling depressed lately?

What does it mean to dream of taking shelter from a storm?

I believe that seeing a storm and then trying to hide, can suggest you can overcome anything difficult in life. It is associated with creating something that might be demanding, but give rewards. There is fear, anger, or negative emotions if you are running away from the storm. I also believe that if you are seeing a tornado or the sky is dark (and fast approaching) then this dream is about making sure you focus on yourself going forward. 
 

What does it mean to dream of a storm approaching?

If the storm is approaching in your dream this is all about something unexpected coming. Let's face it storms are unexpected. I often find that some storms are connected to our emotions and create this sort of tension. I feel that if you dream of seeing a black cloud or you know this is coming in the dream it is connected to control. If the storm involves rain then this is about washing away the old to make way for the new. It could be you need to ensure that you prepare for something in life. 

Stormy weather coming towards you in a dream can mean possible arguments or perhaps explosive feelings about someone (like addiction), particularly if you see this approaching the house. The conflict or perhaps mixed forces are usually between you and a family member. It is always important to make sure you don't give any snappy answers, and do the best you can do. Make sure you give the time to others if people are with you when you see the storm.
