“Rain will represent sadness, and tornadoes tend to represent worry and anxiety, spinning out of control.” A tornado dream, Loewenberg says, reminds us of “the destructive force that worry and anxiety causes to the psyche.” “Our emotions are the weather of the mind,” Loewenberg told the Cut.

But apparently, tornado dreams are common phenomena even when you don’t live in fear of cyclone season. I grew up in the Midwest - in a region I remember people calling “ Tornado Alley,” incorrectly as it turns out - saw Twister at the age of 6 and have always loathed wind, so to my adult mind, tornadoes were a logical thing for my sleeping mind to conjure when it wanted to upset me. Not a particularly eventful nightmare but one bizarre enough to stick with me for over 20 years. The tornado never spoke, just gusted at me with escalating menace until the panic woke me up. My blustery adversary had a big, horrible mouth, a gaping vortex within a vortex that portended obvious doom.
