Universal Landscape: Destructive force of opposing energies.
Dreaming Lens: Where was the tornado in your dream? What happened before and after its appearance? Was it fearful or exciting? Were you at risk or at a safe distance? Did you witness the formation or the aftermath of a tornado, or both?
Personal Focus: These weather phenomena are incredibly destructive and completely unpredictable in their movement. The devastation that they leave in their wake is almost unfathomable. There is also an element, however, of creation in their symbolic meanings, which lies in their formation. A tornado is the result of two air masses of very different temperatures colliding with each other. Under the right conditions, these two systems meet up with each other and each tries to force the other to submit to their direction of movement. As a result of this conflict, the two form a third energetic system, which combines the force of both, creating a tornado.
Resistance is at the essence of the interpretation of this image, so look for areas in your life where you may be in resistance when a tornado appears in a dream. In addition, the chaotic nature of a tornado’s path makes this a perfect expression of waking-life chaos. This dream may be indicating an unconscious reaction to the unpredictable nature of how things are unfolding around you, especially in areas where you are facing direct opposition to your desires.
The film The Wizard of Oz has added a magical perspective to the power of a tornado. In this classic hero’s journey, the cyclone is a force strong enough to transport a person to another place without harm, while destroying other things in its wake. In this way, tornadoes can be both creative and destructive and your interpretation should consider both possibilities.

2- While a tornado can be very destructive, interestingly, it can also be very cleansing and it is in this context that it is often met on a psychological level. It sweeps all in front of it, but after its passage there is the potential for new life.
3- Our early ventures into spirituality may make us feel powerless, and at the mercy of all the elements. This can be symbolised by the tornado. However, within the centre there is peace and tranquillity.
