About Tornadoes Dreams

Generally tornadoes form when hot air meets cold air. Basically warm air rises, but when the two fronts meet, the cold air can trap the warm air beneath it. Because the warm air cannot move upward, it begins to rotate. As the sun heats the ground, more warm air continues to rise, until finally the mass is strong enough to push through the cold air barrier.

How it forms might be a metaphoric translation for trapped feelings and emotions that are now going to come to the surface. You need to be more aware of your emotions and what effects it might cause being unaware. This could very well mean that you are not ready to explore your shadows, or like Jung coined “shadow work”. This is all the repressed feelings that we hide deep in our unconscious and now the dream might be wanting it to come to the surface.
