So, Last night I had the most vivid dream. I was hanging out with friends on a front porch and I saw a tornado form in front of my eyes. I saw the molecules and atoms and all the dust and debri begin to come toward me…. and then right as it was about to get to the place where I was at, it disappeared.

Then the dream turned to everyone running to their cars to try and get out of the city and tornadoes began to form all around. First off, this is not a good way to start your morning. This dream really freaked me out. So what does one do when they have questions about mundane things?….. They Google it!

SO this is what Google has to say about the meaning in dreaming of tornadoes:

Tornado’s may symbolize lots of things. They may link to bad things that are about to happen and problems that you are anticipating.

Tornado’s may symbolize your own uncertainties about the future. That can be linked to major changes taking place in your life. E.g.

So the question is… What is brewing in my life to cause insecurities? Should I be cautious about work? my relationship? my friends? Ugh!

What do you think? Are dreams just bundles up emotions that aren’t meant to make sense?

I remember walking to my car early in the morning because I had an 8 am class at San Antonio College. On the way to my car, the apartment complex maintenance guy asked me if I had heard about what happened in New York. I had no idea what he was talking about and since I was half asleep, I disregarded his comment.

On my way to class, there was no music playing on the radio. No funny talk show host trying to wake me up as I drove. All I could hear on the radio was that 2 planes had crashed into the World Trade Center Towers. I couldn’t even grasp what that meant….. I was a naive 19 year old girl that did not know anything in regards to the world of government and politics. All i knew is that I had the right to vote, and that was a right I exercised by following my parents lead. But now… everything was different.

By the time I got to school, there were police everywhere. They were asking us to go home because all classes were canceled for the day and there was concern for everyone’s safety. SAC, was a public government school and apparently all government buildings were being evacuated as a precaution. I ended up driving to a friends apartment because I did not have cable at my own place. When I got there, five of my college buddies were all gathered in front of the television watching the events as they unfolded.

All I could do was cry. It was soooo amazing how much it hurt to see innocent men, women and children suffer as the debris came down from the buildings. I remember my guy friends claiming that they were going to enlist in the armed forces and kill whoever had done this to our country. Everyone was so GUNGHO-American all of a sudden. Its a tragedy to believe that it takes an event like 9/11 to make you realize how proud you are of your country, your people, your president, your military, etc….

For all the lives lost 8 years ago today. I pray for your families.

“Time is passing. Yet, for the United States of America, there will be no forgetting September the 11th. We will remember every rescuer who died in honor. We will remember every family that lives in grief. We will remember the fire and ash, the last phone calls, the funerals of the children. ” by President George W. Bush.
