i wasn't sure where to put this so please move it as deemed fit.

Last night I had a really bad nightmare. I dreamnt I was in a tornado. I felt my apartment building get sucked up in it and everything. I felt it move across the field next to me and up in the sky. I remember me calling out for my cat and then trying to get on my cell phone trying to call someone to tell them there was a bad storm and a tornado and to take shelter so they wouldn't get hurt. I felt the apartment building land and me getting ejected from my bed. I then stumbled out all the while calling out for my cat not being able to find him. I then was somehow transported back to my hometown I grew up in and met up with my youth pastor who put me on the church bus and was driving me around and we got stuck in a lake and I was still trying to call out on my cell phone and not getting a signal as the tornado had blown down all the towers. I don't know if I ever got any one or even found my cat because I woke up. Do any of you guys interpert dreams? If so what does it mean?

(((((((((((jbug)))))))))) That sounds like a pretty stressful dream. I'm so sorry.

When I have dreams, sometimes I think my brain is trying to work through thoughts or things that I am unable to or don't take the time to work out throughout the day. Sometimes I think it's the chili I ate the night before.

There might be some place online you can google to read about the symbolism of things in your dream to help. Good luck in figuring things out.

You are the only person who can verify what it means, maybe if I make a few suggestions, that will lead you to your interpretation?

The tornado that you're in... could be indicative of how you are experiencing life right now. In the midst of your own troubles, you are trying to reach out to others and help them, while searching for your own comfort also (the cat?) You seem to feel that you aren't connecting.

Being back home is common, for roots of things you "know" perhaps? The youth pastor, the lake... those are symbols that connect you somehow there. Maybe looking for comfort again?

Sounds to me like you need to get a few things off your plate, and get some rest and self-comfort.

Thanks guys for your responses. I do have a lot of stuff going on in my life right now and that could be why I dreamnt of a tornado. I do worry about what would happen if I lost my cat too and that could be why the cat was in my dream. I was talking about my cat in therapy yesterday too. We were talking about if something happened to Tyger that they would have to put me away.

There are a lot of books on dream interpretation, take time to go to a book store or library to have a look, I think Sky is on to something there!

I have nightmares from time to time, but they are far too triggering and graphic for this forum. They are however a source for my creative writing.

Take care, and one more thing, there are certain foods and beverages that can trigger disturbing dreams in some people when they consume them too close to bed time.

I had another one last night but I think last nights was due to the fact I had eaten some Chex mix before I went to bed. Last nights was my parents were building a house and they were building an apartment in the garage for me to live in and their friends from Nebraska were there helping them build the house. Somehow they got on the topic of me being in therapy and they decided they didn't like my T. They have never met my T but they didn't like her. My T from when I was in Nebraska was there and was telling me that even though she has a PHd that didn't make her a good T and that he was a better T ( not true he was a quack) I was trying to convince them that she is a very good T and we are doing some good work but they wouldn't listen. So I don't know what to make of this dream I just chalk it up to eating Chex mix before I went to bed. That and having a cat stepping on my head. LOL.
