Dreaming of a Tempest

tempest · mostly negative, but with a possible happy ending

A tempest foretells hardship, though some readings see it as the hard road to great happiness.

What happens in the dream

  • You're caught in a storm: after many difficulties, wealth and a good marriage
  • You come through the storm: good news from a long-absent friend
  • You see tempests: a run of misfortune, and friends who turn cold
  • Long, violent storms: hardship, danger and loss
  • If you're in love: rivals, whom you'll eventually beat

How you felt

  • Turmoil: often a reflection of inner upheaval or a chaotic period
  • Resilience: a sense that the storm can be weathered

Ask yourself

  • What storm am I going through right now?
  • What would help me hold on until it passes?
