In the case of seeing a tornado in the distance, Loewenberg explains, you’re wondering if some real-life stressor (symbolized by the tornado, in this case) is going to catch up to you. If the tornado is actively striking in the dream, she notes, you feel like you’re in the thick of it in real life, in terms of what’s stressing you out. “Ultimately, it comes down to worry, right?
