What are possible meanings for dreams of hurricanes?

After a major hurricane dominates the news and conversation, dreams featuring hurricanes tend to increase in frequency. It’s simply a reflection of current events. However, usually a hurricane is used as symbolism.

A hurricane can symbolize a turbulent or destructive event.

The noise and destructiveness of a hurricane can be a metaphor to describe a turbulent situation. For example, a messy, acrimonious breakup can be symbolized as a hurricane. Even a messy child or living situation is comparable to a hurricane. It’s an exaggerated but apt comparison.

A hurricane can symbolize a powerful attractive force, around which everything else revolves. For example, the desire to get rich, be successful, or have a family.

The spiraling motion of hurricane can symbolize the movement of energy from your inner being out into your life, or vice-versa. See: Spirals

Hurricanes can be used to describe the feeling that something is coming into your life that will change everything, probably for the worse.

An impending mental breakdown is like a hurricane that blows through your mind. Chaotic and swirling thoughts are like a hurricane, as are turbulent emotions. It could symbolize something that’s been building in you, and when unleashed it won’t be stopped.

A hurricane can symbolize a feeling of dread or fear. See: Fear

It can symbolize a “force of nature.” Nothing will stand in its way. It could symbolize a person who blows through your life.

Hurricanes tend to come on slowly. Affected areas usually get warning days ahead of time, and the destructive force of a hurricane builds slowly, as opposed to a tornado that strikes all at once. These characteristics of hurricanes can be used to create metaphors that are comparable to situations in your life. For example, you know that relatives are coming for a visit and bringing their troubles with them, and you do everything possible to prepare for the storm—hide the booze, send the kids away.

Refer to the entry for Disaster for a general idea of how dreams use different types of disasters as symbolism.

My mom has passed and I have a strained relationship with my dad

I just had a dream my mom came back and she didn't seem sick but dad didnt want to be with her hence his new wife and I urged him to tell her that night or a different time. Outside it was hurricane and flames. I said do you really want her to leave in this? And then it switched to me playing a video game of me beating up my dad I was angry and he was really injured in the game.. turns out it was real and he was being sent away I'm screaming daddy- he closed the window of the vehicle to not see me.. and im thankful I saw mom but they weren't together😭😭

Why did it switch to a game? Why was my mom silent? And pre sickness? Why was there chaos outside? Why did my dad and I fight on a game ?

A Dream I Had Just 20-30 Minutes Ago

The dream started out why me and my dad parking my car in our driveway in our house. What was odd is that it wasn’t our house, and there was a garage door which would lead into our barn across the street. This wasn’t here in the start of the dream

The dream began by me and my dad playing the lottery by printing tickets with this printer device in the barn. After 2-3 rounds the device malfunctioned. It said “self destructing” and shut down. My dad said something like “it isn’t like the movies. Things self destruct all the time, don’t worry about it”. When the thing destructed, the lights all turned off all at once. It also automatically became dark outside in an instant. It was pitch black in the dream.

This was followed by the sound of a lightbulb exploding. Then a second lightbulb blew up. This was followed by the sound of all lightbulbs in the barn exploding. It was still dark while this was happening. Then it got lighter, as a shower of glass started raining down. But this shower had more glass then it should’ve had. It was like a hurricane if glass. My dad and I dove to the floor to escape the flying shards. Despite being hit several times, we never suffered a cut.

We would escape the glass storm when I noticed there was a garage door leading to the outside. This wasn’t there in the start of the dream. I lifted and ran outside with my dad. I was no longer on my property. I was now at my cousins house. And also, my dad and I were suddenly not the only people in the barn. Crowds poured out, all cut and bruised.

This is where the dream would end. I have literally no idea what any of this means, and what happened?

End of the world dream by hurricanes, earthquakes and fire

I just woke up less than 5 minutes ago and maybe some could explain why I had this dream. Sorry if this is long.

It honestly is one of the most vivid dream I’ve had in years. It felt so realistic.

Basically, I live in Bermuda, where experiencing a hurricane (during the season) is normal. I was at my grandmas house with most of my intermediate family (like 10 of us), riding out the storm. It wasn’t the “worst of it” yet, as it still had time to get to its closest point. We were all in the living room just watching the news, chilling etc. It was just really rainy and windy.

As time went on, the weather was deteriorating. Still we were okay because it was something we know how to handle. Videos then started to be sent to our phones of people’s houses being destroyed by tornadoes. I remember my brother showing me one of the videos and then the house started shake violently. (Context: Although I’ve experienced a good deal of hurricane, I’ve never experienced a earthquake before). It probably lasted about a minute. But it was the worst thing to experience since it was also a hhurricaneoutside!

Everyone was okay, just a few things knocked off the edge. We tried looking outside (dont know why), but we could barely see anything since there was a lot of salt spray from the ocean on the windows (a normal thing).

Now for the weird, fucked up part (that I can’t unsee). We could see a figure walking towards our front door. The person knocks, a few times. We want to stay quiet because we were all scared. He speaks just to say “ya’ll stay safe now”. And then we see him walk away. Let me remind you, there’s a full hhurricaneoutside, wind, rain, tornadoes etc.

Everyone goes back to the living room, talking about the earthquake happening. I was looking at Instagram, watching a friend’s story about her reaction to the earthquake, when suddenly there was a orange light, then a huge “explosion” (in the sense of the house shaking again, and the loud noise).

All the lights and our phones went completely dark. I honestly thought I had died. But when we checked to see if everyone was ok, we checked outside the window. The sky was completely blue. The sun was shining bright, looked a lot closer than normal. Hurricane was gone. But now there was fire. Everything was on fire. It felt like I entered hell with all of my family. My grandma started praying, and when she finished, my stepdad said “have fun”.

I jolted awake. Its early in the morning, and yet I feel rested and don’t feel the need to fall asleep again. Usually I’d go back to sleep but, I don’t really need to.

I just woke up less than 5 minutes ago and maybe some could explain why I had this dream. Sorry if this is long.

It honestly is one of the most vivid dream...

Short dream: Gushing skull

I was surrounded by a large field full of dandelion puffs. It was later in the evening shortly after the sun had set. The sky was dark and gloomy like it would be before a hurricane. The endless field had a soft cool light over it that had a blue haze to it. I began to run my hands through the field and I watched the seeds swords through the air to the point that I could no longer see anything but fuzz. I continued to do this until I felt a sharp pain in my head. I ran my fingers through my hair to see what had caused the pain. It was a very large dandelion seed about six times the size of a normal seed lodged under my skin. I panicked and began to pull at the end sticking out of my skin. It was incredibly painful and I could feel my skin start to tear away from my skull. When I finally got the seed out I had about a 4 inch gash in my skull that was gushing blood. I tried to stop the bleeding with my hands but it would not stop.

Stuck in a hurricane

I had a dream last night that my husband and I were out to dinner in Italy with his beast friends parents. The restaurant was outside right on the water. My daughters (9yos) made friends with the managers and were helping them with something. But a horrible hurricane hit us and we had to help a bunch of old people try to get inside. But as that happened my girls came outside and got hurt but the wind was so bad I wasn’t strong enough to get to them and save them. I just was stuck screaming trying to get them. It was horrible.
Any ideas on what this could possibly mean?
