Okay, so I’ve been diving into this whole “dream meaning” thing lately, and storms have been popping up a lot in my dreams. Figured I’d try to figure out what’s going on, you know? So, here’s how I tackled this “dream meaning of storm” experiment.
Started with a Dream Journal
First things first, I needed to actually remember my dreams. I’m one of those people who usually forgets everything five seconds after waking up. So, I grabbed a notebook and stuck it on my nightstand. Every morning, even if I only remembered bits and pieces, I jotted down everything I could. Colors, feelings, people… whatever I could recall, even if it seemed totally random.
Focused on the Storms
After a week or so, I had a decent amount of dream entries. Then I went through and highlighted every instance where a storm showed up. There were big ones, small ones, some were scary, some were just… there. This was my raw data, basically.
Hit Up the Internet (Carefully!)
Next, I started looking online. This is where things get tricky, because there’s a ton of stuff out there, and a lot of it is… well, let’s just say not very helpful. I tried to stick to sites that seemed, I dunno, more grounded? Less “your spirit animal is a unicorn riding a lightning bolt” and more “here are some common interpretations based on psychology.”
- I looked for patterns. Did the online interpretations match up with anything I was feeling in my dreams?
- I compared different sources. Did they all say roughly the same thing, or were they all over the place?
- I considered my own life. What’s been going on lately? Any big stressors or changes?
My Own Interpretation
After all that digging, I started to piece together my own interpretation. The online stuff gave me some general ideas – storms often represent inner turmoil, conflict, big changes, that kind of thing. But the specifics had to come from my own life.
My record is:
The storms in my dream, at frist, felt chaotic and overwhelming. I think those related to this big project I was tackling at work. It felt totally out of control, and I was super stressed about it.
Then, the dream changed to another scene, the storms were smaller, more like background noise. Those seemed to tie into some smaller, everyday anxieties I’d been having – nothing major, but just a constant hum of worry.
What’s more, in my drem, I found a sense of peace even in the midst of the storm. This, I realized, was about me figuring out how to deal with all this stuff. It wasn’t about the storm (or the stress) going away, but about me finding my own way to navigate it.
The Takeaway
So, yeah, that’s my “dream meaning of storm” journey. It wasn’t some magical revelation, but it did help me connect some dots. It’s like, my subconscious was using storms as a way to process what was going on in my waking life. And by paying attention, I could get a little more insight into what I was actually feeling. It’s definitely something I’ll keep doing!
