This is so weird - I have tornado dreams too! Sometimes I dream that I have been picked up by a tornado and am floating high in the air. I don’t know if I’m going to fall with a crunch or if the tornado is going to set me down gently somewhere, but I’m enjoying the view and the sensation while it lasts.

Other times I am surrounded by multiple tornadoes, and am usually trying to get other people to safety without getting caught myself. Settings vary - sometimes I’m driving down the road, sometimes in a business of some kind, sometimes at home - different places.

I’ve had several close encounters with tornadoes (sp?)during my life - used to have about 15 of them on video tape (waterspouts, actually). But it seems weird that other people have specific ‘twister’ dreams also.

I have a recurring dream. I’m on a beach, looking at the ocean. The ocean starts to swell, then larger and larger waves begin to crash in. Then a wave becomes so huge that it will inevitably pound me to oblivion. That’s when I wake up and find I have a severe case of indigestion.

There’s always another beer.
