My dream last night: I was looking out the window, and all of a sudden I see the dark clouds forming overhead. I see them start to swirl and a tornado starts forming off in the distance. I run out to tell my family. My Dad isn't there, for some reason. So it's my Mom, my two brothers, and myself. We all gather in the bath tub, that's our only hope of shelter from the tornado. My Mom covers us in a blanket. I say that I forgot something and have to go get it. I go grab my doll Molly I've had since I was four years old and my green bag that I always keep my sunglasses and essential summer things in. I run back to the bathroom, and the tornado is about to hit. My Mom covers us with a blanket again. Then I realize my older brother isn't there...... Then I wake up. Any idea what this means? Much appreciated.
What is your emotional state in the dream? Did you have a sense of it? Storms and weather often are a metaphor for the emotions. In this case, a tornado could represent anger, rage, or depression. It could also mean feeling out of control. The missing family members are interesting. They are both male. Do you feel more or less secure and calm with their absense?
In my dream, I'm calm. I'm not really freaking out over the tornado. Well, there's a secret I have that I told my older brother, and he's urging me to tell my Dad. It's not really a big deal, but in a way I guess it could be considered one. So I just need to figure out the best way to say it..... Do you think this is why they were both absent?
It could be a metaphor for something hidden, like a secret. If so, would you mom, if she knew the secret, be the one to feel angry or upset? Do you think the tornado could have been about her?
Hmmmmmmm.... I believe that could be a possibility. Thinking about it, it would make sense. I'm not sure if she would overreact to it, but in my mind, I believe she would.
