You're doing a lot of running and chasing, but you're not able to accomplish your goals: getting your homework back and escaping the tornado. In the end, you do escape the tornado, you kind of stare it down and watch it dissolve. Alone, you faced a natural disaster, a chaotic and unpredictable spiral of wind with terrible and potentially deadly force. A great threat. That's pretty cool.

But before that, you give a lot of your power away to other people. You can't get your unfinished homework back, so you choose to skip school--giving power to the teacher who treated you in an unreasonable manner. Later, a man tells you to get in the van--that you'll be safe. You give control to him, but he is wreckless and out-of-control (kind of like the tornado--out of control). It's seems you do better, when you use your own power to face situations.

I've had a lot of tornado dreams too. I love tornado dreams. Here in America, "The Wizard of Oz" used to be shown on tv once a year until a few years ago. I don't know if you've ever seen it, but it begins with a tornado and Miss Gulch taking Dorothy's dog to be destroyed. Dorothy does a lot of running/running away in that film too. Seeing that film so many times probably influenced my perception of dream tornados. I always thought of tornados in my dreams as the natural disasters caused by dysfunctional or abusive or cruel or wreckless people whose behavior was utterly unpredictable and could appear as unexpectedly as a tornado. The natural disasters that some families are, for example.
