An interpretation of hurricane dreams

An interpretation of hurricane dreams

This interpretation is from ""The Dream Interpretation Dictionary: Symbols, Signs, and Meanings" and is provided by J.M. DeBord aka "RadOwl". He is the author of several acclaimed books about dreaming, the host of The Dreams That Shape Us podcast, and is a moderator of r/Dreams, one of the largest dream sharing communities on the internet. 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. See also: Disasters, Fear, Lightning, Spirals, Storms, Tornados, Weather
