Emotions can be described as powerful or electric. Feelings can be turbulent. Perhaps the trouble brewing is inside you. Or you see it on someone’s face—a “storm on the brow.” You can think of a storm as something disruptive. A storm can disrupt travel plans and outdoor events, for example, making it a candidate for dreams to use as symbolism for something else disruptive, such as a relative who storms back into your life.
