August 2003 Dreams

i was at my house and it started storming. there was all kinds of lightning. i was outside eating dinner on the sidewalk in front of my house, with my parents and brendan. the lightning was further off to the south of us (so across the street from my house). it was constant…as in the lightning just stayed “on” in one place. then we realized that it was 5 funnel cloud/tornados, with the lightning goign on inside them. it started to get really windy, so brendan and i ran inside. my parents were still outside, and we were yelling at them to get inside. so they came inside, and we managed to shut and lock the screen door, but left the main door open. the wind stopped, and my dad and i were looking around outside, then we saw a funnel cloud go right over us. not touching down, but just directly over the house.

there was some other part where we were all at some type of boardwalk resort, and tornados/bad weather, and i was really scared and trying to find brendan.

then something about being back in high school. but it looked like my middle school building. my locker was on the first floor, near the far end door. i was going down to lunch, and trying to remember where my locker was to get my lunch bag. i was supposed to be meeting brendan in the caffeteria to eat, but i got distracted. i was frustrated cuz it seemed i never locked my lock properly each time i left my locker, so it would always be open when i went back. so i was trying to fix it. then i was distracted on my way down the hall, by a student setting up “smoking joes r us”, selling candy, because of some kind of ban on cigarettes. finally got to the cafeteria and was looking for brendan, but he ended up finding me first.

ah the return of the tornado dreams…

so i went to the tour at central terminal, and was planning to ask russell about all the cleaning and new additions to the terminal. so i’m in the building with the tour group waiting for russell to finish his speech, and two of my friends from work show up. so i’m like cool, i can show them around. so russell finishes up and we start to wander off. i asked them where they wanted to go and they were just going to wander around. i wanted to take them down into the basements first, before going around the main concourse, but they didn’t want to climb through windows and what not. so i was following them around the kitchen area. there was a room (that doesnt exist in real life) that had french doors on it, and you could see inside. it was some sort of office with a desk and lots of paper work, but the room was totally fixed up. i was a bit confused, but assumed russell had made himself an office inside the building. walking around more, i’m still trying to get them into the basement. so we go into the kitchen, and the kitchen is totally redone into a working functional kitchen. counters, and cabinets, appliances, running water…i was like wtf is going on. then the basement stairs were there, with working lights, and the stairs were all fixed up. so i was like..um…ok. i went down the stairs and the basement was totally redone as well. russell was down there doing something, but there were lots of shelves everywhere, with stuff on them..artifacts, and other things, and he was sawing some wood or something. i wasnt sure if i should go down and bother him or not, but i did. i started asking him about all the renovations and stuff. i cant remember what he was saying to me. i went back upstairs and kept finding more and more rooms that were redone and functional. there was a bedroom. then the tour group had a catered lunch in the building. i was freaking out and wanted to cry because everything was getting redone, and in an ugly modern
way. i wanted to call brian, cuz he didn’t come to the tour, and tell him all the stuff that had changed since our illegal trip in. i was just really upset at it all, because i liked it in ruins so much.
