When was the last time you dreamt of weather? Unless you happened to have watched a doomsday natural disaster film before bed or have recurring nightmares linked to a weather phobia, it probably wasn't last night. But if you ever have noticed weather in your dreams, especially severe weather, you know that it can be a very unsettling memory long after you've awaken.
Don't be too quick to put it out of your mind! Just as weather is significant to our daily operations, in the dream world, weather is said to represent our real life emotional and mental inclinations.
What are your true emotions trying to tell you? Decipher their message by matching the weather in your dream to the weather event, conditions, and seasons listed here.

A thick fog symbolizes confusion, uncertainty, and worry. You may be having trouble figuring something out, may not be thinking clearly, or may not see something for what it really is. (This could be because you're getting mixed signals.) Fog can also indicate that you've lost your sense of direction--either in life in general or about something in particular.
Hail

Snow, including watching the snow fall, represents a fresh start or a second chance. It can also indicate peace and tranquility on a spiritual level. Snow can also have negative connotations, for example, it may represent the harshness of having to undergo a new beginning as well as the emotional isolation one may feel while going through it.
Melting snow represents the overcoming of fears or obstacles.
To play in the snow points to a time of enjoyment and relaxation. It is also a sign that you are (or need to be) taking advantage of an opportunity that's arising.
To find something in the snow means that you're exploring and tapping into your unused potential and hidden talents and abilities. It can also indicate the need to forgive.

To see a storm signifies some significant shock, loss, catastrophe, or struggle occurring in your life, as well as any fears, anger, or other strong, negative emotions which you haven't outwardly expressed and are keeping bottled up inside. It may also signal the rapid approach of a life change ahead.
To take shelter from a storm is considered a favorable dream. It's thought to mean that whatever hardships are occurring in your life will soon blow over; until then, you'll have the strength needed to weather the storm.
