I’ve never had that dream, but I do remember dating a guy (years ago) who was incredibly jealous and possessive, with no cause for either emotions, and come to find out HE was cheating on ME! Yeah, he got dumped! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23306308.post-44196849182856753252008-11-25T22:55:00.000-08:002008-11-25T22:55:00.000-08:00Tully, I totally agree.

For instance, some men have dreams that their wives are cheating on them, or the dreams signify that in the symbolism, when their wives haven't done anything to merit the suspicion. It could very well be indicative of the husbands own insecurities and wandering eye.

However, sometimes when we wake up, that's the best time to jot down the dream. However, you may be going through a very peaceful time in your life so none of your dreams really "stick out" or effect your day since you aren't struggling with suppressed emotions or fears...<BR/><BR/>Anon, (btw, you can leave a name... Do I know you btw? Even a fake name is better than anon!)<BR/><BR/>Anyways, yeah, sounds like you are on the money. Speaking of money... the color of the tornado is interesting... Are you into the stock market by chance or financial struggles? Sounds like you are... the video game, the color of the twister.<BR/><BR/>Also could mean the you may be afraid that you are doing things that are a waist of time or someone is making you feel that way, or you are feeling indecisive... whether justified or not. I would imagine that the person doing the guilting is a woman. <BR/><BR/>Here's my best guess without talking to you... (underly motifs or cause and effect.)<BR/><BR/>There is some danger or fear on the horizon that you feel you can’t escape. (Gold color signifies money or could) No one you can trust or systems you have been trusting are faulting or aren’t so trustworthy. You want to face the fear yourself but feel a little helpless. (Failed internet searches. Wikipedia, a trusted source only turns up video games - all feels like a game) You know the problem shouldn’t be worried out or you aren’t supposed to be worried about because you know that in the end you’ll be okay, even though it seems very scary, however, since it is reoccurring you are probably unwilling to let go of the worry. I imagine you like to be in control of things and don't like the feeling of being helpless (as does anyone.)<BR/><BR/>I have twister dreams myself, but they usually come when a big change is about to occur and I'm afraid that I'll eff it up or won't know how to cope. <BR/><BR/>Best guess there... <BR/><BR/><BR/>BIGGEST tornado symbolism is the obvious: worry.Seth Wardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02027729307468958273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23306308.post-59561828836183784992008-11-25T14:25:00.000-08:002008-11-25T14:25:00.000-08:00I've had a whole bunch of strange dreams in a row,...I've had a whole bunch of strange dreams in a row, recently. Or, rather, I've just remembered them. And since all dreams are pretty much strange, I guess they were just dreams. But anyways...<BR/><BR/>A few nights ago I dreamt that this yellow/goldish tornado was headed towards our house. We tried to evacuate but had to turn around for some reason and when we got home, the tornado was just across the street, so naturally (in that weird dreamish way) I got on the internet and searched "tornado." A whole bunch of how-to's came up, but they were all for this one videogame, so I kept doing more specific searches, but nothing was coming up except stuff about the videogame. So I flew outside and tried to get up on the roof for some reason, but I couldn't fly when I was outside and had to break the windows to get back in, by which time the tornado was in the middle of the street. I went outside to look and suddenly the tornado turned and went towards our neighbor's house, and transformed into a woman who jumped into this clump of bushes in their yard.<BR/><BR/>I have a sort of hypothesis on this one... I think it means I'm worrying too much about something that isn't really a big problem, or maybe I'm missing the obvious and not getting out of the way of something, or maybe I just trust the internet too much and expect it to answer all my problems.<BR/><BR/>...when I woke up, I went on WikiHow and looked up "tornado", just in case. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23306308.post-33973731807172717512008-11-25T08:44:00.000-08:002008-11-25T08:44:00.000-08:00I absolutely think that dreams are our way of work...I absolutely think that dreams are our way of working things out, subconsciously. We are conditioned in society to not want to show fear or insecurities, but just because we don’t show them, does not mean we don’t have them. Your mind still has to process all that information somehow and because we can’t just be turned off like a light switch…that which we don’t deal with consciously, will rear its ugly head subconsciously.<BR/><BR/>But do you ever notice that we only fear things that are really important to us? Fear of losing a loved one, a tragic disease, death…it’s just a fear because you value life and the people in it (and that’s a wonderful thing). I think those fears are like litmus tests to remind us what is most important to us and to help us stay focused on what we can do stay safe and fulfilled.<BR/><BR/>That’s my toilet bowl psychology for the day! ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23306308.post-76352585219336363592008-11-25T08:40:00.000-08:002008-11-25T08:40:00.000-08:00I VERY rarely remember my dreams.

E is a big dreamer and in high school she would always recount her dream to me as I drove her to school. So many times her dreams were weird and disturbing to me because I could "see" clearly where the dream was coming from and it would give me insight into her teenage thoughts and fears. Dreams do seem to be all about raw emotion that we supress during our waking hours. I have the recurring freeway dream where I'm driving in a car on an extremely busy (610ish) freeway with ramps and curves and speeding cars. All of a sudden the road is a straight up climb and all I can do is keep driving because if I stop accelerating then the car falls back off the the road. I'm driving skyward, I am scared, but I can't stop or I die... oh my, my palms are sliding around on these keys as I try to type the words here. What do you think this means??? Is this a common dream?Popcornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07334531708349736021noreply@blogger.com
