Read on to learn how to read the meanings of cloud images.

Dominik Schröder

Clouds sometimes take on shapes and forms of all matter of things, some obscure and others quite clear. The images you see in the clouds can foretell what’s to come. They can also give an indication of your current state of mind.

Different Images We See in Clouds

  • Angels: Seeing angels in the clouds indicates that spiritual insights and guidance are in the offing. Pay extra attention to your intuition and insights.
  • Baby: Seeing a baby, infant or toddler may be implying that a new family member is on the way.

    As babies are a symbol of ‘new beginnings’, seeing their image in a cloud can indicate a new phase or fresh start in your life. It may also indicate the undertaking of a new, important project.

  • Ballerina: Seeing a ballerina or ballerina in the clouds may be an indication that more fun and frivolity is about to enter your life. Get set to enjoy yourself!
  • Buildings: Buildings, particularly houses, represent our inner-selves, and can give us an indication of how we feel about ourselves.

    High-rise buildings seen in clouds may be implying a new job prospect or career change or promotion.

  • Cats: Cats are highly spiritual creatures and represent our higher wisdom. Seeing cats in clouds indicates that your intuition is particularly heightened at this time, so pay attention and heed the advice of your inner-voice.
  • Child/children: Seeing a child or children in clouds implies that a happy, fun time is ahead for you. It can also indicate a happy disposition and a joy of the simple things in life.
  • Circles: Seeing circles in clouds suggests an engagement or marriage in the offing.

    Seeing circles can also imply the completion of a cycle or important project. eg. ‘coming full circle’.

  • Crocodile: Seeing a crocodile in the clouds may be warning you of deceptions and/or danger in the near future.

    Crocodiles may also be warning you of a deceitful person or situation, and you are to remain aware of dishonest and/or manipulative people. It also suggests that you seek the truth yourself rather than rely upon the word of others.

  • Dancers: Seeing a dancer or dancers in the clouds implies happy, fun times to come.

    If there is more than one dancer it may suggest a gathering and/or celebration.

  • Deer: Seeing a deer in the clouds may be indicating that you need to stand up for yourself more.
  • Dog: Seeing a dog or dogs in clouds suggests the company of loyal friends and faithful companions.
  • Dove: Seeing doves in clouds may be foretelling of ‘love’ and positive relationships. Doves represent love, purity and honesty, and are a message of an impeding engagement or marriage.
  • Dragon: Dragons are the ultimate power symbol. Seeing a dragon in the clouds may indicate that you are in a position of power and will soon find success.
  • Duck: Seeing a duck in clouds may have differing meanings depending upon circumstances.

    Seeing ducks may be suggesting a journey or travel over water in the near future. Seeing ducks in clouds may also be suggesting that important decisions need to be made in regards to your emotions and relationships.

  • Eagle: Seeing an eagle or eagles in clouds suggests personal power and the opportunity to fulfil your goals. Success is in the offing.
  • Feathers: Seeing feathers in clouds suggests that its time to have faith and trust in yourself and your own abilities. It is time to tackle and overcome personal obstacles.
  • Horse: Horses are an indication of steadfastness and freedom. Seeing a horse or horses in clouds suggests that you stick to your dreams and follow your heart in order to bring your wishes to fruition.
  • Leopard: Seeing a leopard in the clouds implies that you have the tenacity, wisdom and courage to overcome all obstacles in your life.
  • People: Seeing on person in the clouds may indicate ‘you’ the individual. It implies a growing independence.

    Seeing two people suggests a happy union, an engagement or marriage proposal. Three or more people seen in the clouds tells of social gatherings and celebrations.

Clouds in form of Gorilla... what’s it spiritual meaning ????

Loulou on May 17, 2020:

I had a second trimester miscarriage. I was looking out of car window a week after and seen some Kind hands and Strong arms cradling a baby. I’m not a superstitious person as i strongly believe in science but as soon as i seen it i had an over whelming feeling of relief that the baby was looked after. It was very strange, and felt like the message was from a male for some reason.

I havnt told anyone in person or partner because they would think i lost the plot.

Dustin on September 10, 2017:

Ive seen clouds that look like dragons and as you are driving down the road they morph into a different kind of dragon. Sometimes they will morph from the entire body of the dragon into a giant side profile of the dragons head. The further I drive and the more the angle of my view changes, the clouds keep morphing into all different shapes and sizes of dragons. It may sound crazy but once right before a storm it looked as if this dragon was slowly reaching down out of the sky with one of its claws at me. When it almost looked like it was at the tree tops in my yard, I walked at an extremely fast pace to the house and didnt look back. Ive also seen what looked like what could be considered scenes from Greek mythology with all of the gods of Olympus. One really clear night last summer there was a near full moon, but then these small puffy clouds started forming to the west of the moon going east. As they traveled across my view of the moon they were morphing into all these different versions of a human skull. I watched them do that for 25-30 mins and then the clouds just dissapated. I know its not my imagination because on several occasions ive pointed the dragons out to my wife and daughters and they see them too. They are always way too detailed to be considered ''dragonlike''.

Darryl on August 06, 2017:

Over the past few months I've been seeing A LOT of skulls in the clouds. Sometimes multiple skulls, not only human skulls but animals and Humanoid looking types. After reading this I do see dragons and a lot of reptiles. Feathers and dogs too. Always thought it was because I like feathers and LOVE dogs and all types of animals though. Much of these skulls though are at night time usually around the moon. What's your take on it?? Just curious, but I know WAR is coming to our lands again soon so I assume that's what these skulls mean, either that or some type of disaster is gonna happen against the people of the world....

magic is truth and comes from god. on June 08, 2017:

Before 1-2 days i saw 1 dragon fighting against two-headed dragon and the First one was burning fire. then i saw face similar to those of hawaii tribes totems with big eyes and nose(you Know those wooden masks) talking something. the thing is that everything came from one cloud and i saw it polymorphing from one thing to another. as i use magic and Energy as healing and protecting spells i think it had something to do with spiritual beings. i Know that most best magic came from christianity(btw i am Christian) and solomon i think those 3 dragons(2headed counts as 2) were actually three beasts that we Know from bible as rulers of hell. maybe that means that one of those three rulers turned into good one. i am talking shit for some of you but i think there are people that Know what i am talking about.

Allie on October 20, 2016:

So, I have a long experience to explain. God answered my prayer a week later when I asked him to spend more quality time with my father. A week after that prayer, my father arrived to my home and STAYED THE NIGHT in MY ROOM on MY COUCH!!! I began thanking God for answering my prayer, and I started to cry. Then, yesterday I asked God to show me himself, or to show me an angel, anything. I didnt believe that He would ACTUALLY show me anything, but he did. It started with a cloud, that looked like his hands holding the earth. I saw one of his large eyes, staring at me in my backyard, his eye was so detailed and just gorgeous to watch!!!! I looked down at the ground and cried because i knew it was true. A few seconds, later, I asked him to show me again. I wanted to see an angel!! After i asked him this question, I looked up into the sky, and I SAW MY NAME SPELT IN THE CLOUDS!!!!! I looked to the left side of the sky, and I swear to God, I saw God's hand, cupping something... cupping... someone.. THen, the figure in his hand started to take form. It began to have huge lovely wings, shining light, and very detailed.! I couldnt believe my eyes!!1 Right then and there, I knew it was God telling me to say this, "This is representing God's love for me, his hand holding me, and im supposed to be represented as the angel in his hand!" Oh my gosh, I was so happy and still am blessed and praying to see more angels now than ever!

What does it mean when you see things in the clouds?

The reason we see animals and people's faces in the clouds is a phenomenon called Pareidolia , an optical projection that occurs as a byproduct of the strange way we process visual information.

What does it mean when you see someone's face in the clouds?

Some thought that seeing faces in the clouds was a symptom of psychosis while others, including famous scientist Carl Sagan, thought that pareidolia came from an evolutionary need to recognize people or potential threats quickly. In actuality, pareidolia comes from our need to organize random information into patterns.
