Dreaming Lens: Was there wind blowing in your dream or an absence of wind? How hard was it blowing? Were there strong gusts or was it a steady force? Did it have an affect on your balance or ability to move? Was it blowing in the direction you wanted to go or was it going against you? Did anything blow away?
Personal Focus: The wind is like the constant flow of thoughts and ideas in our minds. If you think of the Earth as the collective consciousness of all the beings that live on it, the wind would be akin to the ceaseless stream of information that passes through our heads. We may not always be aware of it, but it is a constant force to which we are forever adjusting. It is only when it changes suddenly that we tend to notice it. It can vary in intensity from a pleasant breeze to a howling gust. However, like all forms of weather, it never stops and it blows where it wants without any concern for how we feel about which way it is moving.
Air represents the intellect, so its movement is symbolic for the direction of our thinking. Like the wind, thoughts often flow through our minds in a ceaseless fashion that seems unstoppable. These thoughts can push us in certain directions in life. Sometimes we go with the flow, whereas other times we resist and push ourselves against the direction the winds of thought are blowing. Since we all experience the same wind at any given moment, what becomes important to notice is your individual response to it. A gentle breeze could be either pleasant or uncomfortable depending on the temperature. Dramatic gusts can be exciting for some people, while others may find them maddening.
The behavior of the wind in your dream and your response to it will provide you with an accurate interpretation. The strength of the wind is indicative of the amount of power some life circumstance is exerting over you. Your movement with regard to its direction will illuminate whether you are being supported by your choices or meeting resistance. A constant wind could mean there is an obsessive thought pattern running through your mind. This can be very creative when they are affirmative thoughts of creative manifestation. However, compulsive obsession is one of the most destructive activities the mind can engage in. It can take your life in directions that don’t serve you. The more fear present in the dream, the more likely you are facing something that needs your attention. Identify what life situation is in the process of shifting. The winds of change are powerful and unpredictable. Your dream may be an assessment of how you are responding to the things you cannot control. [1]
For instance, a breeze would suggest gentleness and pleasure.
An idea or concept we have is beginning to move us.
A gale might indicate a principle we feel passionately about, whereas a north wind might suggest a threat to our security. Actually being in a gale indicates that we are being buffeted by circumstances that we feel are beyond our control. We are allowing those outside circumstances to create problems for us when actually we may need to look at what we are doing and either take shelter – to withdraw from the situation – or battle through to some form of sanctuary. When we experience a hurricane in a dream, we are sensing the force of an element in our lives that is beyond our control. We may feel we are being swept along by circumstances – or possibly someone’s passion – and are powerless to resist. You might also like to consult the entry for breeze. [2]

Anciently an emblem of the masc uline nature, with the four directions becoming a natural wheel or cross that later became the weather vane.
