I dreamed that I was with my brother and we were outside. I looked off in the distance and could see that a tornado was forming and was undoubtedly headed for our direction. I began to think that we needed an underground space or basement to take shelter in and that we would be safe there. We began searching as the tornado drew closer. Finally we found a basement to retreat to, but I would not go into it without my mother and grandmother, who were in the crowd that was now frantically seeking shelter. I told my brother we would not go down without them. Suddenly my ex-husband of 18 years ago popped into the dream and pointed out my mother and grandmother in the crowd. I was relieved. I went to gather them, and we were going to all go to the basement for safety. Then I woke up.
NOTE: The day prior to this I was notified that I recieved a job I had applied for in a beautiful location. I would have to be leaving my home of 13 years to move into A MUCH smaller space. Time is of the essence and, though I have no doubts that I am making the right decision, this is truly a 'life changing' event for me. I will have to sell most of my possessions to downsize and it will be a big transition. Wondering if these things are really bothering me subconsciously, because I am very happy that I will be moving to such a beautiful area—it’s a good nature-based place for me to be in my life at this time.
That was my 3:00 am dream. When I went back to bed, I had this dream:
I was trying to get to the airport for a 6:30 AM flight. When I arrived, it was extremely busy and moving slow through security. Suddenly, there was no parking within a reasonable distance and I knew that I was going to miss my flight. I frantically was trying to find parking—there was a spot that was close, but when I turned to see it, I could see that it was an unusual space. It was dirt and kind of deep and narrow! I did not want my car to squeeze into that spot. Did not seem safe for my car or the ones next to it. It was 6:25 am at this time in the dream, and now I was pretty sure that they were not going to hold the plane for me. I found a spot far away in the parking lot and parked. I prepared myself to run as fast as I could, but inside knew that I, more than likely, was not going to make that plane. Then I woke up.
Are these two dreams related do you think?

It is highly beneficial that you remembered what has been occurring in your life that would cause you to have this dream. It is important to understand how relevant and reflective your dreams are of your life. This is helpful for people to send in, along with their dreams, what is happening in their waking life. This connection will help dreamers, including you, to be more aware of how the interpretation plays out into the daily life.
In regards to your question, yes—these dreams are most definitely related. What is being revealed through both dreams are the distractions in your thinking during the day. In both dreams, you are trying to get somewhere you need to be, yet there is always something getting in your way, some other step you need to take that isn’t readily available.
There is a sense of hurriedness throughout both dreams as well. The first dream is saying—slow down! There are thoughts circling round and round in your head, represented by the tornado. Worrying causes this. Stand by your decisions and only imagine what you want! Once you have made up your mind, stick with it. No need to go back in your mind worrying or wondering if it’s really the best thing for you. Stand by your decision and be open to learning through it. When we are open to the learning and can find the good in any situation, we can never fail. Failure is only caused by a refusal to learn and grow.
The most important thing to remember from the first dream is even though you’re experiencing whirling thoughts, worry, confusion—stay connected with your inner guidance! This, you are somewhat aware of and it shows up in your dream as looking for your mom and grandma. What is the outstanding quality of your ex-husband? Compassion? Honesty? Selfishness? This looks like the quality of yourself that helped you connect inwardly when you were stressed.
The second dream is revealing that you have an opportunity to reach your goals through some kind of organization, and you’re trying to use that opportunity while it’s still available. This is represented in the dream by needing to catch the flight. You’re having difficulty resting, caused by busy-ness in the mind and insecurity. The best thing you can do is breathe. Calm your mind by taking deep breaths. When there are circumstances in your life that can be stressful, the best thing you can do is be connected with your inner core and remain calm and collected. There is a wonderful book that we recommend to you called

. This book will give you insight into how to cultivate the 10 Essential Life Skills, which include: breath, undivided attention, and concentration.
