Well if you don't warrant a thread of your own what about me!?....OF course you belong here...Like I said on someone else's thread, maybe they'll create a forum for "busted M's....with normal growing pains!"
Until then, here I stay!
I think it is SOOO cool that you have "lucid dreams" (that's the official name for dreams in which you're aware you are dreaming).
The tornado dream is a common one...I've had them, CJ's had them, so has my Dad.
The idea is pretty basic...tornados, whirlwinds, chaos, out of control, danger, pain, things getting torn apart, displaced, swirled about....
We dream these when we feel overwhelmed, scared, ungrounded etc. How far away the storm is, how scared you are etc. all indicate how "near" the real life parallel is to you.
(For example, the one where the tornado picks up your car!!! that;s a close call! but I love that you land and all is fine!)
The ability to now CONTROL these tornadoes is VERY significant, Zoo...they suggest a waking parallel...greater sense of control over life's "storms" or any one "big" storm. I've done magic in my nightmares too...levitated and danced a boogy with Frankenstein in one as a child!
Holdingon...I'll just BET that all the reading about dreams, hearing about jewellery hear on the bb (I menitoned OW's diamond ring, Ellie got pearls etc) combined to cook up one heck of a nasty dream for you.
Dollars to donuts, however, it's just a nasty compilation of external info and your legit insecurities, anxieties, fears.
