However, there are times when dreaming about an earthquake, tsunami, tornado, or hurricane can be interpreted as a form of precognition. The dreamer seems to be looking through a portal into the future, catching a glimpse of the next few days, weeks, or months. The 2004 Indonesian tsunami, which killed nearly 300,000 people, the Haitian earthquake of 2009, and subsequent quakes around the world were all accurately predicted by dreamers. It has been suggested that these dreams serve as cautionary messages. However, the dream typically does not specify the precise date or time of the event. Due to this, it is challenging to heed a warning without clear explanation. In most cases, it is only after the fact that it is realized that a clairvoyant dream actually served as a form of precognition.
A dream of a hurricane with winds of 75 miles per hour or more and torrential rains may be a warning that real-life events are clouding your thinking and lowering your spirits. You are likely going through a period of intense emotion and change. A hurricane dream could be caused by anything from an argument with your spouse that puts your relationship in jeopardy to a disaster at work. Whatever it was, it left a lot of mess to tidy up. The fear of another major hurricane striking close to home is often the meaning behind dreams of hurricanes for people who live in hurricane-prone areas. Naturally, there are times when a dream about a devastating hurricane is a portent of an actual hurricane on the horizon.
An enormous tornado rips through the landscape, destroying everything in its path, in this terrifying nightmare. In a dream, winds of any kind herald impending transition. Your sense of stability, your plans, your goals, and your hopes for the near future have been shattered, and the dream may be a reaction to or a warning about this. Tornadoes in dreams often represent the catastrophic changes that can occur in real life, such as the loss of a home to foreclosure, the termination of a job, or a forced relocation. Like Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz, however, the house the tornado swept away took her to a fantastical land of new discoveries. In this way, a tornado in a dream can represent the tearing apart of one's personality and the abandonment of one's old self in order to embrace a more universal and transcendent perspective.
Many dreamers say that tsunamis are a recurrent theme in their dreams. In this nightmare, the dreamer is on the beach, either by themselves or with others, when a massive wave suddenly crashes down and threatens to wash them away. Typically, the dreamer would awaken before the tsunami hit the shore or before being swept out to sea. When you have a dream about a tsunami, it usually means that a major emotional issue is about to become front and center in your life. Often unexpectedly, painful recollections from one's formative years can resurface from one's subconscious. The emotional tsunami here represents pent-up emotions from the past. The dreams of tsunamis will stop only when the underlying emotional issue that is causing them is resolved.
If you dream of an earthquake, it means that something is about to fall apart or has already fallen apart dramatically. Dreams about earthquakes, regardless of magnitude, are often a warning sign of impending financial trouble. It's a sign that your financial situation has become precarious. Dreaming of an earthquake can reflect or foreshadow the reception of distressing information, such as the passing of a loved one. On the other hand, the dream could be a prediction of some upcoming event on a global scale. In one dream I had in August of 2000, for instance, I was in a high-rise when the ground beneath me began to tremble and the building rocked back and forth. The dream was a premonition of the World Trade Center attack, a catastrophic event that would be felt all over the world.
Intense feelings can cause water levels to rise. Your dream is trying to tell you that you need to pay more attention to your mental health. If the flood occurred in a specific area, that may be a clue to the dream's meaning. You're overcome with grief and sorrow after a flood in the kitchen. If you dream of water pouring into the bedroom, it may be a sign that you're having feelings of inadequacy in your romantic connection or in expressing your sexuality. If the living room is flooded, it may be a sign of rising tensions between you and your loved ones. If your bathroom is flooded, it may be because you're having trouble letting go of your sadness. Finally, wading through a flood may suggest that you are processing your feelings by fully immersing yourself in them.
Those who have completely lost their composure can be compared to a volcano that is about to erupt. Perhaps you have been suppressing a volcano of rage for far too long and it is ready to erupt at any moment. Perhaps a close friend or family member has finally let off some steam. When a dream features a volcano erupting and the dreamer is walking across hot lava fields, this can represent sexual arousal or coming into close contact with a partner's sexual feelings. Here you are probing the depths of another person's imaginative sexuality.
Dreaming of an asteroid, comet, or meteor shower is ominous because it represents a change in the dreamer's life on the cosmic scale. The dream foretells a period of profound inner change for the dreamer, as well as dramatic upheaval in the dreamer's external circumstances.

The loss of a friend, the breakup of a marriage, or any number of other heartbreaking situations that cause the dreamer to give up hope can all feel like "the end of the world." The dreamer's unconscious mind places an emphasis on how this affects their outlook. Images of destruction and freedom are presented in "end of the world" dreams. A few people claim to have dreamt that God or an angel told them "It's the end of the world" at the end of the dream. They all describe the same events, such as a sudden bright light followed by a brief period of darkness or the sun or moon being torn from the sky and then a catastrophic event. I need to know the significance of these dreams. Waiting is the only option at this point.
