Tornadoes

Date: 8/31/2019

Two dreams. I realized that I often have tornado dreams when my emotions are particularly crazy and my anxiety is high. It’s never the exact same dream, but they’re always similar. I’m always in my house, and there are always people outside; strangers or people I know in real life. There are multiple tornadoes, both closer and far away with varying widths. In the first dream, my house had multiple doors. They were weirdly transparent and I was trying to keep everyone out. There were groups of people in the yard, almost like cliques? There was one guy who kept trying to come in but I just kept pulling the door shut. Finally, I just held it shut until he went away. I could see the dark funnel clouds in the sky, and then it started. Tornadoes started forming and hitting the ground. They were unusually fast and aggressive, also really dark grey. None of the people outside seemed bothered, they just stood there. Not all of them got sucked up. The second dream started out pretty similarly, except the funnel cloud took up almost the entire sky. I think I may have been somewhat lucid and decided I would take photos of the tornadoes to look at and show people when I woke up? The photos I took looked really aggressive and there was dirt and objects flying everywhere. There was also a woman outside, maybe a reporter? I had the door open and she was talking to me, but I don’t remember what she was saying. Next thing I know, we’re in a van going down the road. I don’t know if we were running from or towards the tornadoes. She kept talking and at one point I got tired of her, opened the side door, and pushed her out.
