Constant nightmares about tornadoes, now gone?
Ok, please bear with me, I’ve never really seen a tornado in real life, I live very south in Texas where they hardly occur. However, a few months ago I was constantly having dreams about tornadoes. In the dreams the tornadoes would form over me or close to me, and I would then run, sprint by myself, to take shelter because they we’re heading straight towards me. Then at the end of my dream I would wait for the tornado to hit, knowing I would probably not make it, and wake up. Here’s an important fact, I used to have these dreams almost every week towards the end of my relationship with my ex of four years. Now, I have a new boyfriend who makes me happier than I’ve ever been, I stopped having nightmares, but after about a month into our relationship, I had the last dream I’ve had about tornadoes. In the dream it was bright, daytime outside and a tornado formed, so i took shelter in this broken down brick building, the only building there was since i was in a desert. As I took shelter I found a newborn baby that looked like it was still supposed to be an early fetus, crying and starved. So, I took the baby in my arms and fed it something that resembled oatmeal, while i waited for the tornado to pass, and then I woke up. We’ve been together four months now, and I still haven’t had a dream about tornadoes. What could this last dream resemble? I wasn’t really scared in it like the other dreams I remember, but it made me made me question it a lot.

it’s a ‘control’ dream. tornado’s, or other natural catastrophes, show up in dreams when bad things are happening that we can’t control. the baby was YOU. since you were hurt recently, the baby was showing you how vunerable you were. you felt as if you needed someone to care for, and protect you, so you provided it for yourself. that’s a sign of inner strength coming out. you may very well feel more secure in this new relationship, or at least feel as if you are strong enough to handle it now, after losing a relationship that was important to you. that’s why you weren’t as scared. you knew you were in a new situation that you couldn’t completely control, but you also knew that you had weathered the storm of losing one relationship, and you could now take care of yourself through the new ‘storm’. good luck… sounds like you’re doing well!
