Tornado Dream Meaning

Dreaming of a tornado points to a situation in which everything suddenly seems to be spinning out of your control. Storms usually stand for strong emotion, and the twisting funnel of a tornado shows that emotion at its most intense. When work pressure, family problems and anger you have been holding in all start whirling together, this dream tends to come back. The meaning depends on how close the tornado is and how strong.

• A tornado in the distance

  A dark funnel far away means a problem is still at a distance but slowly moving closer, and you need to become aware of it now.

• A tornado coming close

  A tornado right beside you, or one passing over your house, means the situation has already reached the center of your life.

• Hiding from a tornado and surviving

  Finding a place to shelter and staying safe shows you are finding a way to steady yourself under pressure.

• Standing calm inside a tornado

  This strange dream means you have built up an ability to live with chaos.

• Standing in the wreckage after the storm

  This scene reminds you that even after a hard time has passed, you still have the chance to put things back together.
