Storm

Storms often carry the emotional weight of what feels overwhelming or out of control—inner turbulence made visible, a psyche clearing itself through upheaval. Whether the storm passes or lingers in your dream may matter less than what you felt watching it approach: dread, relief, or perhaps a strange, electric aliveness.

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for storm, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901

Ten Thousand Dreams Interpreted

To see and hear a storm approaching, foretells continued sickness, unfavorable business, and separation from friends, which will cause added distress. If the storm passes, your affliction will not be so heavy.

Fontaine, 1862

The Golden Wheel Dream-book

To dream of a devastating storm, foretells losses and trouble: a violent rain-storm denotes that you will have good luck, but that misfortunes will nevertheless injure your prospects: gentle showers promise the luck without the adverse omen.
