I had a nightmare last night. I've had worse, but still it woke me up so it qualifies.
I was at work and yet interviewing for a new job. It was not my actual employer or job, but elsewhere. You know how dreams are. They wanted me to transfer into some sort of weird technical-marketing role and I was asking why. We were in an office that was all windows, floor to ceiling. As we were talking I could see out the window the sky quickly darkening, and then several tornados worming across the sky and clearly moving closer. In the distance a building of some sort was hit and picked up what appeared to be wheel hubs of all sorts for cars, motorcycles and even bicycles and the storm was spitting them out at all directions, some hitting the building and breaking windows. The first broken window set the office into chaos as people scurried to find a safe place, but there was none to be found. All the rooms had floor to ceiling windows. People were screaming and I ran from room to room in search of safety as window after window broke. The tornados were right outside now. As the building started to rip apart and I could feel the debris ripping at my skin, I awoke.
I usually do not remember my dreams, but when I am ripped awake they are quite memorable. So I mostly only remember the bad ones. To see a tornado in your dream "signifies that you are feeling overwhelmed and out of control". That may be. I just got done with a marathon two weeks of vacation with family. It is fun and great to see everyone. I love them all, and I always have a great time, and yet it is overwhelming. G and I are use to only the two of us, not the 12+ of us. I usually leave at least a few days at the end of my vacation to have a "vacation from the vacation" where I mostly veg around the house. Yesterday (Saturday) though I had to work over the course of 12 hours to assist with an upgrade of a system at work. I was so tense after sitting in front of computers in "tense upgrade mode" I had to immediately take a walk around the block and take a shower. Blech! I suppose I should've been surprised if I didn't have a nightmare. Tomorrow I get to go back to work too. Good times.
Anyway thinking of tornadoes always makes me think of this song.
Also, for the record, "Boys For Pele" was released with an earlier version of "Talula" (a non-"The Tornado Mix" version). I bought the album when it first was released and G did after the re-release (this was before we combined our collections), so we have both versions. I think both are excellent and any big Tori fans should hunt down the original version. You'd think the single would have both, but no, you would be wrong. I tried to find a video or audio stream online though and so far I could not find it. So good luck!
