He’s chasing tornadoes and just waiting calmly
chasing her

I have been dreaming of tornadoes almost every night, and listening almost exclusively to Tori Amos. Her girls are good company…

Last night I dreamed of maybe accepting a proposal for menage-a-trois because the other girl was being inviting and accepting, but there were too many adventures distracting me - including the tornadoes, which we hid from in my parents’ downstairs basement. The night before I doubled back to rescue my razor as Daniel and I sought shelter from a glowering sky: at first in this glassy business tower to which we were denied admission by the asshole CEOs, then in a nook in the weird architecture. Suddenly I had my cat in my arms and he was not happy, biting me, and I was so scared of what might happen to him. A wisp of the tornado reached down to touch my leg, then it was all over. Daniel and I looked at each other, like, “weird”. Then the sky was sunny again, and I went out onto a landing which overlooked the downtown city. There was an asshole CEO grilling hot dogs - he had these really long wieners and short buns, and showed me “how the classy people live” - by breaking their long wieners in half and having double meat in the bun. I was amazed because this is how I have always eaten hot dogs. He was all, wink wink, comrad.

So I have been having tornado dreams for a while and numerous times I have thought the situations the dreams were alluding to had been resolved. (the big one being leaving my crappy old job) So the more I examine my life for potential reasons, the more disillusioned I get. Here is a definition for dreams of tornadoes that seems most accurate to my plague:

Vast life changes, for better or for worse, are looming in the near future. Whether the changes are for better or worse can be deduced from other symbols in the dream.

I think foreclosure is the main affliction and the antidote, and that moving to uptown in October will be the domino shove of solutions to most of our problems.
And at least they’re dream tornadoes, and not real ones!

On the subject of weather, I hope there is more rain soon. There was last year.
