Tornado dream

[cesty8]

I want to make this short but I am not sure how. Little about myself, I am fresh out of college and unsure about my life and where it is going. I am working but am nervous with this job. Also, I lived in Fairbanks, Alaska for six months and both loved it and hated it. I desperately miss the serenity and the northern lights, but I hated the cold dark winter. It was the happiest and saddest place that I have ever lived.

Okay the dream: The dream took place at my mom's house in Missouri, and she was there. I saw the northern lights and had to drag her outside to see them. She responded by breaking down into tears. I looked up and they were all over the sky, they were so beautiful. I felt extreme longing when I saw them, I felt like crying.

Then it was day, I saw a dark cloud that was moving in a circular pattern almost right over the house. I was absolutely terrified of that cloud. I pulled my mom out to look at it. A tornado suddenly came down from it and touched ground by a lake.
In real life, there is no lake any where near my mom's house, but it was there in the dream.
It was comming toward the house and us, I was terrified of it then it turned and went to the beach where it proceeded to destroy houses and RV's there. I knew poeple were being killed. Then the tornado went away and so did the scary dark cloud.
But then I looked up and saw, comming right towards us three tornados, all swishing back and forth like legs or tentacles. At that point I felt like giving up, and I went down stairs to the basement of the house with a very sad feeling like I was giving up.

Now, I can almost always interpret my own dream but this time I am having a hard time. I am not happy with my life right now and I know that the tornados somehow reflect this but I am not sure how.

Thanks for any advice I can get from anybody, that dream was so terrifying.

If dreamt there was a hard wind means people will have fears.
If the wind was so hard and derooted the trees and ruined the houses means an epidemie in the city and a disaster.
Warm wind and cold wind mean illness but moderate wind means health.
If dreamt wind took him means will go to a travel and will have dignity.
If with the wind there was dust and darkness means fears and anxiety .
If hard wind took him to the sky there is a death a death danger.
If dreamt wind took him to the sky and was back again means he will be ill and will cure.
If there was a moderate west wind means blessings for the people.
If there was a moderate north wind means comfort and health for the people .
Wind sound in the dream means benefits from the government.
If dreamt wind took people and take them to the sky means will receive dignity from people.

Thanks for your reply. There wasn't actually any wind in the dream, I was never IN the tornado, I just saw it. But thinking about it last night I figured out what it meant. I read that tornado can be a symbol of a strong emotional state (anger, sadness, frustration). For me that is what it was, I am frustrated at myself wanting to NOT feel things that I feel. Without going into too much detail, that is what it essentially meant.
