General Meaning Of Hurricane Dreams
In general, hurricane dreams are associated with suppressed anger that triggers subtle yet profound changes in you.
Since hurricanes are a natural phenomenon that destroys everything that comes their way, some also interpret it as a signal of upcoming disasters or people coming into your life to destroy you.
Here are the top four interpretations of hurricane dreams.
1. Power
Hurricanes are one of the most powerful natural phenomena. They overpower everything that comes their way. Hence they are a sign of power.

Suppose you’ve just finished strenuous training or are upskilling yourself for professional growth. In that case, you are likely to have a dream like this.
2. End of Hardships
Hurricanes are a sign of destruction, but what you destroy determines whether it is good or bad. Therefore, hurricane dreams can also signify the end of your difficulties and misunderstandings.

3. Understanding Your Own Emotions
If you have trouble regulating negative emotions, you have a high chance of seeing a hurricane in your dream.
It means you are suppressing your negative emotions, like fear, anger, grief, etc., to a level that can have a damaging effect. Or you are expressing it in an endless cycling manner that hurts the people around you.
4. Upcoming Troubles
It is also believed that when your subconscious senses any upcoming trouble, it tries to warn you through hurricane dreams.
The subconscious mind knows you won’t be able to handle that when the time comes, so you must start preparing yourself as soon as possible.
