Miller's explanation
Miller's dream book discusses in detail where lightning struck. What you dream about getting hit promises a serious test. When you are lucky enough to remain unharmed, wealth and self-confidence lie ahead. If you had to see how the elements struck someone around you or caused damage, friends will give you a reason to worry about them.
When a thunderstorm in a dream causes a panic attack, there is a high probability of losses and quarrels with the people you care about most. The interpreter is encouraging that it is quite possible to avoid trouble if you make an effort and take care of safety.
Various interpretations
The raging elements seen in a dream foreshadow a whole cycle of incidents in real life, the range of which is quite wide. A dream with equal probability can mean a new acquaintance, fatal news, or sudden insight.
Hasse's dream book promises in this case a joyful event for the dreamer, Freud - love, the esoteric interpreter - the revelation of extraordinary abilities. As you can see, any of the predictions promises to bring something new and unusual to life.
Miller's dream book is convinced that lightning symbolizes sparkling, but nevertheless short-term success, soon after which a sharp decline and even shock may occur.
Such a dream means that in the coming period you should pay more attention to people who need it, and not forget that well-being is a fickle value.
Targeted people
The 21st century dream book offers an interesting explanation of why one dreams of a person being struck by lightning. The one you dreamed about was very lucky in your dream: prosperity and a series of joyful events await him. If the discharge hits the head, the authority of the sleeper will noticeably increase, and if it hits the hand, the financial situation will strengthen.
Freud's dream interpreter will tell you why you dream that lightning struck a person you care about. The image means that you have a chance to help him solve an intimate problem.
Severe weather
When you dream of lightning, rain and other signs of bad weather, this suggests that in reality events will unfold no less violently. Perhaps not all of them will appeal to you, but they will nevertheless bring some variety to your life.
What bad weather portends in your dream largely depends on whether you like such natural phenomena in real life. If yes, then a dream about a raging storm should be considered a good sign - you will certainly achieve your intended goal. The Dream Book of Wanderers warns that if bad weather frightens you, the plot must be understood exactly the opposite.
A dream in which thunder and lightning appear is often a harbinger of complete and unconditional victory. This means that circumstances and even the forces of nature are now on your side. Grishina’s dream book is sure that everyone around will hear about the triumph.
Another option to explain why you dream of a thunderstorm, lightning, thunder - big changes that can happen both around and inside you. In any case, some of the upcoming events will be a reason to reconsider your beliefs.
Invasion from Above
In Nostradamus's dream book you can find out why you dream about how ball lightning struck. This symbol often means the intervention of forces of extraterrestrial origin. When you have to see its victims and the devastating consequences of a disaster, a large-scale disaster is possible.
If you dreamed that a fireball entered the house, Vanga’s dream book draws attention to the consequences of an unusual incident. A fire in an enemy’s home symbolizes the triumph of justice; destruction in your home foreshadows the illness of loved ones. When an object in a dream does not harm anyone, a period of stable well-being lies ahead.
Interpretation of lightning in a dream according to different dream books
As mentioned above, the image of lightning in a dream has been studied for centuries. Over all these years, many dream books have appeared that facilitate the process of dream interpretation. However, often the interpretation of an image in one dream book can differ dramatically from the interpretation of another. This is due to the different focus of the researchers’ activities. Some of them prefer the esoteric interpretation, others - the psychoanalytic one.
In the case of studying a dream in which there was a thunderstorm with thunder and lightning, we recommend paying attention to the following dictionaries for the interpretation of dreams:
- Dream book of Gustav Miller, a famous psychoanalyst and dream researcher;
- Dream book of Sigmund Freud, world famous sexologist and psychoanalyst;
- A family dream book that examines the image of lightning exclusively from an esoteric point of view;
- The Dream Book of Nostradamus is the first dictionary for the interpretation of dreams in which this symbol was considered.
Let's consider each interpretation option separately.
According to the dream books of Miller and Freud
According to Gustav Miller, lightning most often foretells success, but for a very short time. A flash in the sky can warn of grief or a streak of bad luck, but also not long-term. Depending on the plot features of the dream, this image can mean the following:
- If lightning struck in front of the dreamer's face and he experienced shock, he will rejoice at the success of a close friend;
- A discharge that hits you in the back foreshadows unpleasant gossip and rumors;
- Black lightning among menacing clouds portends a short period of failure;
- If the dreamer dies from a lightning strike in a dream, the dream predicts unexpected grief;
- To be illuminated by lightning means to be the center of attention.
In turn, Sigmund Freud interprets the image of lightning as a symbol of sexuality and fleeting passion. According to the dream book of this psychoanalyst:
- If you were struck by lightning in a dream, but did not feel any discomfort, expect a pleasant update in your personal life. Soon a bright and interesting person will appear with whom you will have a passionate relationship without obligations;
- If you were hit by an electric discharge and were in pain, you will not enjoy intimacy with your new partner and will begin to avoid him;
- If in a dream lightning struck where your loved one was standing, he will soon have problems sexually, and this will be a certain amount of your fault;
- If lightning destroys an object, pull yourself together. Your passion becomes destructive.
To choose the right psychoanalytic dream book for dream interpretation, you need to determine what interests you more - the sexual side of your life or the everyday side. In the first case, you should turn to Freud's interpretation, in the second - Miller.
According to the family dream book and dictionary of interpretations of Nostradamus
Esoteric dream books are distinguished by less specific wording and the relative scope of interpretations. This is especially true for the famous dream book of Nostradamus, according to which:
- If you dreamed that you were struck by lightning, this means that in life you should learn restraint, otherwise you will become the cause of many troubles;
- Seeing a ball discharge descending from the sky means a threat of invasion from outer space;
- To see in a dream the death of a large number of people affected by ball lightning means in reality to witness an environmental disaster;
- If in a dream you saw a flash and heard thunder, you need to reconsider your life priorities.
In turn, the family dream book interprets the image of lightning more capaciously and transparently. Thus:
- A sparkling flash in the sky symbolizes a new romantic love, which will occupy almost all your free time;
- Lightning destroyed your personal belongings - get ready for a major quarrel with relatives;
- Because of the discharge, one of his relatives suffered - negative changes will occur in his personal life;
- Ball lightning passed nearby without causing any harm - the dream meant a big win;
- A direct discharge split a small object - leading to a serious quarrel with friends.
In order to choose the right esoteric dream book, trust your intuition.

Destruction
Hasse’s dream book suggests that you dream about lightning striking a house literally: some test will affect all household members. The likelihood of a fire in reality is extremely low.
If a family man dreams of getting into a house, the sign predicts a crisis in the relationship. Some of the household members risk giving rise to gossip behind their backs. When a discharge strikes a lightning rod in a dream, prudence will protect you from mistakes.
If a church is struck by lightning in a dream, the Noble Oracle promises a large-scale catastrophe: war, natural disaster, epidemic.
The meaning of lightning in dreams
The meaning of lightning in dreams has been studied since the 16th century. The first to decipher such dreams was the famous French alchemist and pharmacist Michel de Nostredame, better known as Nostradamus. Later, many esotericists, parapsychologists and, closer to the 19th century, psychoanalysts took on the analysis of this image. These researchers, based on their own knowledge and worldview, determined their own interpretations of the image of lightning in a dream and created dream books.
Modern somnologists argue that the natural phenomenon in question, appearing in a dream, does not necessarily predict any event in the near future. Such a dream can also be a consequence of an outburst of anger or other strong emotions of the negative spectrum experienced during the day. However, in order to accurately determine the meaning of lightning in a dream, it is necessary to rely on the following plot nuances of the dream:

- The type of natural phenomenon that a person saw in a dream;
- The nature of lightning actions;
- Actions and behavior of a person in a dream.
Let's take a closer look at each of the above parameters for dream interpretation.
By type of lightning
The type of lightning seen in a dream is important when interpreting a dream:
- Horizontal lightning piercing the vault of heaven, accompanied by a clap of thunder and heavy winds, warns that a person should learn to control his emotions;
- A vertical discharge striking the ground from the clouds and accompanied by peals of thunder is dreamed of as a warning. Inevitable changes occur in a person's life, he should constantly be on alert;
- A flash when clouds collide means a conflict of interest between close people. Perhaps the dreamer will have a serious quarrel with his loved one. He needs to learn to compromise. Otherwise he will lose love;
- Ball lightning in a dream means that a person cannot get rid of a painful obsessive thought. In some cases, such a dream warns of possible persecution by an obsessive admirer;
- Flashes during a storm, descending from heaven to earth like a continuous sheet of electricity, symbolize an obstacle to achieving an important goal. The dream becomes extremely disturbing if the phenomenon is accompanied by thunder;
- Volumetric lightning striking the ground after a clap of thunder marks unexpected news. The news will be bad if anyone is injured during the electrical strike;
- St. Elmo's Fire - unusual electrical discharges in the form of a brush or cobweb, dream of sad news;
- Volcanic lightning during a volcanic eruption symbolizes violent emotions in a love relationship.
If you dream of lightning “growing” from low clouds into the sky (sprites), the dream foreshadows some constraint in opportunities for some time. During this period, you do not need to make important decisions - the situation will turn against you.
By the nature of lightning actions
What happens to lightning in a dream is of great importance when interpreting a dream:
- If you dream that a discharge from heaven hits the ground near you, you will soon hear news that will change your destiny. In any case, be prepared for the unexpected, they won't necessarily be bad;
- If you dreamed that a tree was damaged by a lightning strike, in reality you will have to part with your loved one;
- If you dream of lightning striking the ground and brightly illuminating the space around, it means that in reality you often have to envy the successes of the people around you. Miller’s dream book also gives another interpretation of such a dream; perhaps you will soon become a reason for gossip and gossip;
- If you dream of lightning and thunder in a dream, while bright flashes of electrical discharges are accompanied by loud peals of thunder, such a dream foreshadows some negative event that will soon happen to the dreamer;
- If you dream of ball lightning flying into a house , you should prepare for an extraordinary incident. If you are fond of gambling, give it up during the current period. If the ball hurt you in a dream, get ready for the fact that you will have to cope with an impossible task in reality;
- If lightning strikes the dreamer , Miller’s dream book foretells a quick fall in love. If a person is hit by a ball discharge, he will become the organizer or protagonist of some important incident or scandal;
- If you dreamed of a thunderstorm with lightning raging at sea , the dream foreshadows difficult trials. According to the Household Dream Book, a dream in which there is lightning and a thunderstorm may mean that you will have to get bogged down in a routine;
- If a lightning strike killed a person you know in a dream , very soon his fate will change. Death in night dreams has the opposite meaning. This means that if a person dies in a dream, he will be happy in life;
- If you dreamed of vertical lightning flying through a window , the dream is a warning that you are in some kind of danger. You should definitely pay attention to the house that appears in the dream; most likely, it is directly related to the upcoming troubles. If this is your own home, expect family quarrels and scandals;
- If the discharge sparkles in the distance, without causing the slightest harm to living beings, according to Freud’s dream book, such a dream speaks of an upcoming acquaintance with a seemingly interesting person of the opposite sex. However, with close communication, you will come to the conclusion that this brightness is feigned, and in fact this person is not worthy of you;
- If lightning flashes behind you , you feel it, but don’t see it, then expect unpleasant gossip that will negatively affect your reputation.
According to Freud's dream book, if lightning destroys your home, you should reconsider your relationships with family and friends. Perhaps your love and care are too intrusive and destructive.
By human actions
The actions and emotions of the dreamer are also decisive for the interpretation of the image from night dreams:
- The dreamer dreamed that he was afraid of lightning , which means that in reality he will have to rely only on his own strength;
- Feeling strong anger in a dream when you see a flash in the sky means that in reality you will quickly resolve a difficult situation and even be able to benefit from what happened;
- If in your dream you do not experience any emotions about the bad weather at all, in reality you will become only a passive observer of the changes that happen to those around you;
- Seeing black lightning in the sky illuminating everything around is an extremely negative sign, foreshadowing suffering and troubles;
- Holding a luminous ball lightning in your hands and controlling its actions in a dream means that in reality you will gain great power over many people. Prosperity and good luck await you;
- Seeing a flashing spherical discharge nearby without hitting you means that a loud and significant event will happen soon; if the ball flies very close to the dreamer, he will be a direct participant in such an event;
- Dreaming of dying from a lightning strike symbolizes the betrayal of a loved one. If before your death you heard thunder in a dream, you may become a victim of a conspiracy;
- Standing in the place where lightning had previously struck means indulging in expectations of a new love, but secretly dreaming of an old one (according to Miller’s dream book);
- Seeing lightning in the sky in a dream and admiring this phenomenon symbolizes changes in life that will completely suit you;
- Running away from an electrical discharge in a dream means avoiding changes in your life in reality. Changes must be accepted because they cannot be avoided;
- Dreaming of resuscitating a person struck by lightning means providing the dreamer with the necessary psychological assistance. Most likely, the one whom you resurrected in a dream will come to your aid.
Thunder and lightning in a dream are of particular significance for people in custody. If a prisoner dreams of a bright electrical flash and thunderclaps, it means the person will soon be released under an amnesty.
Why does a woman dream of lightning?
Women's dreams are often more imaginative and profound than men's. This is due to the increased receptivity of a woman’s subconscious, her deep emotionality and sensitivity. Therefore, the meaning of the image of lightning for women also differs from the generally accepted one. Therefore, when deciphering a dream, you should first of all focus on the Women’s Dream Book, according to which:
- Seeing lightning in a woman's dream foreshadows a short-term bright event, the memories of which will soon disappear just like an electrical flash;
- A flash flashed above your head - expect an unexpected inheritance or other source of profit;
- To see how an electric discharge illuminates everything around means for a girl to become the object of gossip from close friends;
- Seeing your friend in the light of lightning means that in real life you envy her. Try to overcome this negative feeling within yourself. Otherwise you will lose your friend;
- If you dreamed of a thunderstorm, illuminated by many flashes, the dream foreshadows trouble. You should devote more time to your family and spouse, otherwise serious discord will occur;
- If a woman dreams of a thunderstorm at a time when someone in her family is sick, a flash of lightning means a deterioration in the health of the sick relative;
- To stand on the edge of a raging volcano and see sparkling volcanic lightning for a woman means to completely plunge into the abyss of passions. The dream warns that in this way you may miss important events in life.
For a young girl, an electric discharge in the sky, according to Freud's dream book, portends an acquaintance with a passionate admirer. However, his passion is as fleeting as a flash of lightning in the sky. This dream warns that one should not trust eloquence and passion; such a man needs exclusively carnal pleasures and admiration for his irresistible appearance.
Warning sign
The same plot is interpreted by predictors of different eras and cultures; it is for this reason that the next interpretation of a dream can be very different from the previous one.
- Seeing someone hit a lightning rod happens when there is a real threat looming;
- If the sleeper suffered from the elements, in reality he will be very lucky;
- Defeat will completely change one area of life, perhaps for the better;
- The plot reflects real disgust towards the affected object or person;
- A symbol in a dream serves as a harbinger of a large-scale disaster.
Tree of Fates
You can find very unexpected interpretations in Veles’s prediction, which is why you dreamed that lightning struck a tree. In the old days, the image was the embodiment of life and death in all manifestations, both on the physical level and beyond. And these days, a destructive symbol foreshadows a serious problem that can only be resolved with the help of higher powers.
The Wanderer's Dream Book considers hitting a tree to be a reflection of the dreamer's spiritual growth, which is sometimes fraught with difficulties and dangers.
If you dreamed of hitting a tree, the interpreter of the Apostle Simon the Canaanite warns that friendly ties are now weakened and vulnerable.
Seeing a thunderstorm with rain
Those who saw a thunderstorm with rain in their night dreams, but did not remember any special details, should expect unpleasant news in the near future. They will completely disrupt your usual way of life, and after them there will come not the best period in your destiny, which you will have to endure. In this difficult time, you should not refuse the help of loved ones, and you should not make long-term plans. Focus on current problems, consistently solve them, and eventually the dark streak in life will pass, and a period of relief and calm will begin.
If in your night dreams you were caught in heavy rain, thunder rumbled overhead, then in real life you will be able to cope with all the troubles. In this case, you will not have to put in too much effort; perhaps you will get help from an outsider. Those who in a dream were caught in a downpour with a thunderstorm and managed not to get wet can hope for an invitation to visit and a fun time.
Looking at a thunderstorm with rain through a window in a dream means Fortune’s favor. If you yourself do not get involved in dubious matters, then troubles will pass you by. These same dreams, seen by a young girl, indicate that she lacks attention from the opposite sex. The subconscious mind hints to you that no matter how afraid you are of the big outside world, the time has come to leave the house and finally meet a man.
Advice! If you saw in a dream how lightning strikes a tombstone and splits it, and you know exactly whose grave it is, then take the time to visit this person and light a candle for his repose. Such an act will give a big plus to your karma.
