Hiding
Hiding in dreams represents avoidance, the desire for protection, or shame about something in your life. What you're hiding from reveals what you're avoiding in waking life. Successfully hiding may indicate relief from pressure, while being found despite hiding suggests that avoidance isn't working. Hiding someone else may represent protecting someone or concealing a secret.
Tornado
Tornadoes represent sudden, chaotic change that disrupts everything in its path. A tornado approaching suggests an impending crisis or emotional upheaval. Surviving a tornado indicates resilience through chaos. Watching a tornado from a distance may represent observing but not yet being affected by turbulent events. The unpredictability of tornadoes mirrors life events that come without warning.
