ESSAY : What is the symbolic meaning of the tornados in dreams?

Tornados may symbolise your own uncertainties about the future. That can be linked to major changes taking place in your life. E.g.

"I feel really insecure as my father has just died. What is going to happen"[Dream symbol - Tornado dream][Dream symbol - this quote is based on a real dream interpretation which is featured at the end of this article]

"My parents are getting a divorce. I am unsure what life will be like afterwards."[Dream symbol - tornado forming]

"I have had a really bad year and the tornado portrays my own emotional state."[Dream symbol - tornadoes]

Tornadoes may link to change in a general sense. It maybe that lots of things have been happening and you are in a process of adjustment. E.g.

"I have had some changes in my life right now. They are quite major and I am just adjusting"[Dream symbol - Tornado dream

Tornados can link to feelings of stress. The tornado will capture the inability to relax. E.g.

Tornados may link to something that is unavoidable and has caused a great deal of damage in your life. In short this may refer to some kind of natural disaster in your own life. E.g.

"my boyfriend is moving to another state. I want to keep things moving but at the moment its just a disaster"[Dream symbol - talking to the dead of hurricane Katrina dream]

Tornados may be a sign that there is trouble to come. You maybe detecting some warning signs in yourself or in situations around you. E.g.

"We just constantly seem to argue. They are such petty arguents. "[Dream symbol - 4 tornadoes dream]

Of course tornados and hurricanes do happen and the dreams may actually be about tornados and forecasts of them and the effects of them. E.g.

DREAM TIP : Dreams often will link to day to day events. Think about what tornados represent and see how that applies to your daily life. They obviously link with disorder and chaos. Did something chaotic and stressful happen on the day before the dream? Are you worried about the future in general? Have you had a lot of change in general? Do you fear trouble ahead?

SAMPLE DREAM
--------------------------
THE DREAM I had a dream that I was at my house and there was a really bad storm outside, I looked out of my window and I saw a tornado down the road. In our house, we have a storage thing under are stairs, and I was frantically trying to get al the coats and stuff out of there but it was taking ages, I looked out of my window again, and the tornado was getting closer. So I ran back to finish clearing under the stairs,and was calling my animals and my brothers (who don’t even live with us) and the rest of the family to get under the stairs. Then we were all sitting in this tiny little thing under the stairs. The thing is the dream felt so real, I woke up in a panic!!!

THE REALITY The dreamers father had just died. She was feeling rather unsettled.

THE INTERPRETATION Tornados can capture your worries about the future. In this case the dream came shortly after her father had died so she was extremely unsettled about the future. The dream captures a sense of imminent danger and worries that something bad is going to happen. To lose a parent can make you feel very insecure about the future.
