I have recurring dreams about tornadoes. I don't know why. I looked up "tornadoes" on a dream interpretation database online. It says:
The coming of the storm/tornado further reiterates the turmoil that is occurring in your waking life. A relationship or situation is eating away at you and potentially dangerous to your well-being. Storms are also representative of unexpressed fears, anger, and other emotions that you have kept hidden inside. In dreams, sometimes it is not so important what happens in your dream but how your FEEL during the dream. Many times in our waking life, we prevent ourselves from feeling a certain way. However, dreams serve as a "safe" outlet to express those emotions in which we keep inside.
Usually I'm doing something with my family in my dream. The weather outside is steadily getting worse. You can tell there's a bad storm on the way. Sometimes I actually see the tornadoes and become paralyzed. More often than not, though, there's just the absolute knowledge that a tornado is on its way. I know it, but everyone around me seems to shrug it off. No one's scared. In fact, they don't even think a tornado is on its way. But I know. I can feel it. So while my family is trying to find a place for us to eat or something to that effect, I'm feeling very anxious, constantly looking around for places to hide when the tornado does arrive. I'm the only one. In the dream I had tonight, the tornado never actually came. But it was coming. I just woke up before it got there. I spent the entire dream trying to figure out the best place for shelter. I was afraid of going for a walk with my brother because I didn't think we'd have a good chance of escaping if the tornado came. I didn't want to leave any of the buildings we were in in the case that we couldn't get back in for shelter. I debate on whether we should remain inside McDonalds or Burger King -- which one was safest? Which one had the strongest foundations?
So does it mean that I'm actually currently very anxious and suspicious? Am I currently worrying about a relationship I have with a person that's affecting me negatively? Well, okay. I didn't need a dream about tornadoes to tell me that, but it seems like it means more than that. It just has to. I have tornado dreams so often that it has to have some greater significance.
