Fog refers to a phenomenon which is apparent in the sky, involving thick clouds, that inhibit sight over a considerable distance. Fog forms a deck of visible and stable water droplets or ice crystals suspended in the air, that are produced when a cool air mass is trapped underneath a warm air mass at a relative humidity nearly 100%.
Fog can be considered a type of low-lying cloud that is heavily influenced by water, topography and wind conditions, affecting shipping, traveling and warfare. The only difference between mist and fog is visibility and the phenomenon is called fog if the visibility is less than 1 km/ .62mi for pilots, and for driving purposes less than 100 m /.062mi)), whereas mist causes lesser impairment of visibility.
Fog forms in a number of ways, depending on how the cooling that causes the condensation occurred. It starts to form when water vapor condenses into tiny liquid water droplets suspended in the air, and in the way it is formed suddenly and rapidly it also fade away.
The thickness of a fog layer is largely determined by the altitude of the inversion boundary above which the air mass is warmer and drier. The inversion boundary varies its altitude primarily in response to the weight of air above it, which is measured in terms of atmospheric pressure.
Radiation Fog is most common in autumn and early winter and is formed by the cooling of land after sunset by thermal radiation in calm conditions with clear sky. All matter with a temperature greater than zero emits thermal radiation when inter-atomic collisions causes change in the energy possessed by the body due to its motion. The warm ground produces condensation (high relative humidity) in the nearby air by heat conduction. In perfect calm winds and rapid cooling during the night the fog layer can be less than a meter deep but turbulence can provoke a thicker layer that usually do not last after sunrise, but they can persist all day in the winter months because of the density of the cold air.
Fog in dreams symbolizes your spiritual energy and practical work, showing that things in life may not be what they seem. In most dreams fog represents spiritual blindness because of the reluctance applied in each individual in finding out its true character. In connection to the weather, the environments in which the individual is enclosed indicates the moods and emotions felt in the waking hours.
Positives changes that come out when the individual wakes up from a fog's dream are: -when the fog suddenly cleared in the dream means that the person is able to see clearly; there is no feeling of confusion; the negative connections that the problem or person produced in the insight of the dreamer are not experienced or disappear in the dream hours since the fog is the representation of it.
When in a dream the person is traveling through thick fog indicates an encounter of future problems and the coming out of it will likely reflect that problems will be resolved.
Dreaming about fog usually develops in association with the following scenarios in the waking life:
- The individual's personal judgment have clouded other people's judgment in a situation related to work or home.
- The individual's belief system has been questioned.
- The use of personal energy for a project that is likely to fall.
- The lack of certainty of what is in store for the individual in the future.
- The individual's judgment is clouded.
- There are obstacles that the individual needs to overcome.
- At home or work, a situation is going to arise bringing confusion, which will require patience.
Fog will always be a symbolic sign of clouded judgments, confusion, and the inability of the individual to recognize a bigger picture.
