Tornado Dream

Last night i had a dream that i was in school and i wasnt done with my assignment but the teacher took it anyways so i asked for it back. she told me that i couldnt have it and she gave it to some people i dont know. so i went to get it from them and when i chased them out the door i never got it so i decided to skip school for the rest of the day. When i was outside i went to a local elementary school and saw kids playing in the playground so i watched them when i noticed a tornado was coming. So i can across the playground until i saw a van with a ma that said "come with us if you want to be safe" so i went in the van. we drove away and on a very sharp turn the van turned and crashed into a tree. i crawled out of the van and saw the tornado coming toward me so i ran until i saw a diner. i hid inside until i noticed it was coming really close so i went outside to run away when i stared at the tornado and saw it dematerialize one gust of wind at a time. it went very quickly, about 0.5 of a second. then the dream ended. could this mean anything?

I have tornado dreams quite often and the usual interpretation is emotional chaos.

That being said though IMO I think tornado dreams are a modern phenomenon and basically points to the fact that humanity has evolved past being force-full living (any means of force) to purpose-full living and yet we are now going back to times where things were force-full (fascism). btw the Nazis used both physical and psychological force on people, we are supposed to be past all that.

I want to live my life and not have things happen to me. I don't want events to live me I want to happen to events. When people say "sh@t happens", thats going back to old thinking.

You are given enough time to learn and this angers you. The tornado is probably arguement.

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.

yes, i am very passive. Though it seems better to get in a van with someone who will drive you away then run on foot. The strange part about the dream is when i ran away from the tornado, i wasn't scared. I felt excited. Iwas glad i skipped school because i probably would have gotten caught by the winds if i hadn't exited at that time.

Not to enter into the world of reality too much, a vehicle is one of the worst places to be in during a tornado. Dorothy, you're not from Kansas or you'd know that!

Best Wishes :)
