nightmare, stardate, august 23, 2002...

i was at the beach, staying in a beach house, it was on a cliff overlooking a town, yet the ocean was below ...the sky became increasingly dark, different colors, and it began to thunder loudly...it was also lightening horrendously, it was frightening..i kept running to a balcony watching this ominous sky moving towards me...i ran outside and a neighbor came out in the yard and warned me to get away, to get far away..

i went back in the house and began to gather some of my belongings...not all, but just enough to sustain me because i knew i would be in a motel or something..i just grabbed enough clothes and my glasses, stuff like that..i also had my 2 kids with me, and my husband Rich was there, but he was just running around being all silly, i was doing all the work.... so i was running around grabbing some of their stuff as well...every so often i would go back on the balcony and look at the sky, each time it got darker and darker...

finally, the last time i looked a HUGE, i mean.. a BIG ASS funnel cloud had formed and was moving RIGHT TOWARDS me!! i was FREAKING beyond belief, and was screaming for Emily and Sarah to get in the car..we had our dog Katie with us, but we also had another dog, the dog i had when i was married to Keith..her name was Droopy, she was a German Shepherd/Lab mix, a beautiful dog, someone drove through our front yard one morning and hit her with their car, killed her and drove off...i left for work that morning and found her..that day was horrible...but, Droopy was with us...and i got the kids, our bags and dogs in the jeep, but i don't remember if Rich was in the jeep or not..i think he was, i think he was driving, but i was so scared i can't remember....i had a jeep....the road was packed with people trying to leave, but we were flying down this dark road...then, all of a sudden my friend Mike cut in front of us, he drove off the side of the road and cut in front of us, i knew it was him because i saw his license tags...

this funnel was getting bigger and bigger and was moving faster and faster towards me...

then i woke up...2:43am..

things i just remembered upon taking someones suggestion from another post and drawing the scenes...

the neighbor was an old man...white hair...

i went in the bathroom to get my glasses and it was dark and i couldn't see...i then remembered to try the light switch, then i could see...

Droopy was chained up outside...

I will certainly look a bit more closely at this as soon as I get a chance.

You know, this is the third or fourth dream in as many weeks that I have seen which involve a sinister, dark, destructive cloud and energy. I think one of them was here on the site. Peculiar.

I think that this dream is a reflection of your emotional/mental/physical state, rather than something predictive.

But if anyone else feels something more compelling or urgent, please offer your opinions!

There is a link. Wow, this is only from a few days ago! My sense of time is indeed skewed!

I promise I will get to your dream asap!

the houses in my dream were built on the side of a cliff...all down the cliff...on the rocks...and Spiritua's dream contained a scene where they were climbing rocks...

The dream is definately about fears or anxieties that you have about some impending situation.

The beach symbolizes unconscious or emotional energies that are meeting with/merging with conscious awareness. Being on the cliff, and looking down upon a town and the ocean, symbolizes an awareness or acknowledgement of certain physical (town) and emotional (ocean/storm) needs/fears that are being presented through the unconscious. The approaching storm is the manifestation of repressed or unexpressed fears or negative emotions.

The approaching funnel cloud suggests that perhaps you feel powerless about some potentially destructive situation/person/happening or some other "energy".

Most of the rest of the dream is your subconscious playing through the stresses associated with this possible occurance.

There are possible hints that this "destructive force" is either from the past, or threatens the past. There are also possible hints that some sort of cleansing will come of this (bathroom) which is difficult to recognize (dark/looking for glasses), but by remebering the light, you can better focus (glasses) on the situation at hand.

Does any of this make sense to you?

this has given me a great deal of insight AND somewhat of a balance of hope in my current situation...so many things have gone on in my life, some very serious and rapidly changing situations that sometimes i feel are completely out of my hands...and as StarLover pulled the Wheel Of Fortune of Tarot in my present, it certainly proved that fate and destiny has had it's way with me and my life, and there was nothing I could have done to change it...well, i guess i could have put a stop to some of it, but i have not found the way yet to do that...

i want to share with you, that i have dreamt of tornados ...this is the 4th dream in a year about a horrendous storms/tornados..in one of these dreams, there was a messenger, someone i like to refer to as my guardian angel, and he pulled me from the path of one of these tornados...i have dreamt several times of this angel, and most recently he was standing over my body, while i WATCHED this scene, as my body was lying in a coffin, surrounded by flowers...before i even began to dream, i smelled the flowers...he was standing over me and holding my head...i cannot see his face, but he is a young man, he has strong hands, i do see his hands...he is not a young, young person, i'd guessestimate by his hands and the feelings i receive that he is 40ish..if angels can have ages

at any rate, he is telling me to open my eyes...and i am struggling to obey him...i finally do, and he tells me to open my mouth..he then pours this liquid like water into my mouth...

i have had some of the most bizarre, frightening but also amazing and uplifting dreams over the past year and half than in my entire life...i dream in color and they are VERY vivid..some sounds from them have stayed in my ears for months...

something is happening to me Ra, and i just can't explain it other than i believe that i am transforming, i am changing into a better person, even though my life has been a sheer hell at times...and these dreams are highly symbolic and they represent this metamorphsis...i had a friend read a tarot for me once, a year ago, when all this really began...and he told me then that i was moving to a higher level, that i was about to embark on an awakening...

and i truly, truly believe him now...i am in the middle of this very thing..

and my coming to this site, through an online friend who doesn't even post here, was all part of this process...

thank you for welcoming me here, and making me feel very much at home.

I had a dream about me doing all of the work
and no-one helping me out. And that had a lot to do with the rest of the dream.
Because everything was falling down around me and he was not helping.
