What does dreaming about wind mean?
Wind in dreams represents spirit, change in motion, the unseen force that moves things, and the breath of the larger life. In Jungian dream interpretation, wind carries the archetype of the spirit / the moving force, and many people find that wind dreams arrive when this material is asking for conscious acknowledgment.
Jungian Archetype
The Spirit / The Moving Force
What Wind Means in Dreams
The archetype suggests wind in dreams carries one of the most ancient symbols of spirit itself, the unseen force that moves through visible life. In Hebrew (ruach), Greek (pneuma), Latin (spiritus), and Sanskrit (prana), the same word means both 'wind' and 'spirit.' Wind dreams almost always carry content about what is moving in your life that you cannot see directly.
