In the second dream sequence the same storm comes up, but now you have the change of perspective - attributes and responsibilities attributed to your loved ones. The second tornado greatly overpowers the first tornado, and does far more damage.
I see a theme here of looking back on simpler times (the "back in the day" one room schoolhouse, for instance). When things happened, not much damage was done. But now we have a much more complicated life. There's a husband and kids that count on you. And the storms are bigger, too. Things get wiped out. But in the end, I think is what's most important - You were still alive to see the flattened destruction after the storm passed.

That was amazing. I truly appreciate your insight. The theme of returning to simpler times is something I strive for. I'm at a loss for words. I have wondered why so many times I've dreamed about tornados, and everything you have said made sense. Thanks again!
