whirlwind twister or vortex

Conflict – energies storming in you causing emotional turmoil. You may be meeting the impact of a past trauma. See: Tornado. 

Example: Quickly the huge column of twisting storm moved down the open countryside directly toward the house. At one point I thought it changed course and would miss us, but it turned back and came straight at us. At this point all the distant view was obscured by a whirling mist. It was suddenly dark as the massive whirlwind blotted out everything but its own presence. Then it hit the house. I was expecting the roof to be ripped off, but there was no sound of rending or breaking. There was great tension though and I turned to look out of another window across the room facing the opposite direction. I could see great turmoil as the wind hit people and objects outside. It presented a great contrast with the house, unmoved and unshaken. Through the window it appeared as if an earthquake were lifting people up and dropping them. The earth itself shook and rolled like it were water rippling.

 The dream describes an event in their life that caused great tension and was brought about by tremendous life changes – the earthquake – but did no physical harm. The dreamer had found an inner strength which left him unshaken. The feeling of abandonment can represent big changes in your life such as leaving home, or travelling and living in another country, and so feeling abandoned by all one’s friends and usual sources of support.
