Thunder

Thunderclap, Rumble of thunder, Thunder and lightning

Thunder is a storm announcing itself, often before you can see it. In a dream it may arrive with news, strong feelings or a wake-up call you can't ignore. A distant rumble can mean pressure is gathering in some corner of your life, giving you time to prepare. A loud crack overhead may follow something said or done that shook you. Once the thunder rolls away the air feels cleaner, and that's part of its message too.
