Ever since I moved out here, I've heard time and time again that Central New York isn't an area where tornadoes are common. Why then, do I keep having dreams about tornadoes?!

I’ve always been fascinated by dreams and the interpretations of dreams. Now, I don’t take any “interpretations” to heart, but I do think they’re fun to read about. I always try to compare them to things going on in my life to see if the interpretation fits or not.

Some things are obvious. If I watch a movie about sailing and then I have a dream about sailing, of course there isn’t a fun meaning behind the dream. My brain just used something that it had taken in to create that dream. Same thing with something I saw on the news, or read about, or any situation I encountered during the day. If I can make a connection from everyday life like that, then there’s no point looking up the meaning or interpretation of the dream.

There are some dreams that leave me baffled, though. No matter how I look at them, I just can't figure out why my brain would create a dream like that. I had to look up the meaning for a dream I had this week. Actually, I kept dreaming about tornadoes. I had four different dreams about tornadoes in the last week and a half, and I thought that was pretty odd.

So I hit the internet and looked at a few different sites about their take on dreaming of tornadoes. Each site I went to said the same thing. They talked about how tornadoes are usually a sign of huge emotional stress, something happening in life to cause extreme feelings like anger, anxiety, or fear.

Seemed to make sense, except... I hadn't been feeling like that at all. Nothing in my life was stressing me out, making me anxious, or anything like that. I checked out more sites online, but the explanation was always the same (some a little more vague than others).

 

Then it hit me...

 

I think it's just the time of year it is. Back in Michigan around the end of March and beginning of April is when we would normally get our first batch of bad weather. We usually would have a tornado warning (or at a least watch) by this time.

 

Maybe my brain is just programmed to think that way. Or maybe the dream really did have some other meaning. Who knows?? But it is kind of fun to think about! :)
