Sometimes I'm hesitant about going to sleep. Perhaps my dreams do make me very anxious. Especially the ones I've been having lately. So much turmoil has been manifesting in them... I fear what they may mean. It's 2 a.m currently, and I'm still putting sleep off. What is my subconscious mind going to tell me this time? Even my waking mind is being pretty brutal, desires are flaring and I don't know how to control any of them. So much is occurring...
Last night's dream was particularly vivid. I was in my old house and the land was dark. The clouds enveloped the sky high above, lightning struck and rain began to fall. Moments later, I begin to see an enormous tornado beginning to form. I gasp as it looks like a mighty wall of steel hurling with power and grace. It was made up of brown, yellow hues of clouds. I proceeded to trap everyone I knew down and get them inside. Though it appeared it appeared to be heading straight towards my house, it never actually arrived.
Instead, some time later I was walking down the street. Cars were parked all along the street on both sides. I looked up, beyond the tree tops and saw a face multiplied by four up in the sky. It was the face of a woman, she had light skin and full lips--she was smiling. I stopped to take a picture of it, suddenly having a camera in my hands. As I was adjusting the screen, the camera stopped working and wouldn't adjust properly on the scene before me. I panicked, changing the settings again. When I looked back up at the sky, the images began fading.

There are two principal aspects to cloud-symbolism: on the one
hand they are related to the symbolism of mist, signifying the intermediate world
between the formal and the non-formal; and on the other hand they are associated
with the ‘Upper Waters’—the realm of the antique Neptune. The former aspect
of the cloud is symbolic of forms as phenomena and appearance, always in a state
of metamorphosis, which obscure the immutable quality of higher truth (37). The
second aspect of clouds reveals their family connexion with fertility-symbolism
and their analogous relationship with all that is destined to bring fecundity. Hence
the fact that ancient Christian symbolism interprets the cloud as synonymous
with the prophet, since prophecies are an occult source of fertilization, celestial in origin (46). Hence also the conclusion of Bachelard that the cloud should be
taken as a symbolic messenger (3).
To see fluffy, white clouds in your dream, signify inner peace, spiritual harmony and compassion. An issue in your waking life may be clearing up.

Mystics have always traditionally considered the feminine aspect of
the universe as a chest, a house or a wall, as well as an enclosed garden. Another
symbolic association is that which equates the house (and the above, related
forms) with the repository of all wisdom, that is, tradition itself (4). In architectural symbolism, on the other hand, the house carries not only an overall symbolism but also particular associations attached to each of its component parts.
Nevertheless, the house as a home arouses strong, spontaneous associations with
the human body and human thought (or life, in other words), as has been confirmed empirically by psychoanalysts. Ania Teillard explains this by pointing
out that, in dreams, we employ the image of the house as a representation of the
different layers of the psyche. The outside of the house signifies the outward
appearance of Man: his personality or his mask. The various floors are related to
the vertical and spatial symbols. The roof and upper floor correspond to the head
and the mind, as well as to the conscious exercise of self-control. Similarly, the
basement corresponds to the unconscious and the instincts (just as sewers do, in
symbols pertaining to the city). The kitchen, since this is where foodstuff is
transformed, sometimes signifies the place or the moment of psychic transmutation in the alchemical sense. The intercommunicating rooms speak for themselves. The stairs are the link between the various planes of the psyche, but their
particular significance depends upon whether they are seen as ascending or descending. Finally, there is, as we have said, the association of the house with the
human body, especially regarding its openings, as was well understood by
Artemidorus Daldianus (56).
