Original source (English)
To dream you are in a storm or tempest, shows that you will after many difficulties arrive at great happiness; that you will become rich and marry well. For a lover to dream of being in a tempest, denotes that he will have rivals, over whom, after a great deal of vexation, he will triumph. It also foretells that you will receive some good news from a long absent friend, who will overcome many difficulties.
