What I loved most about Bad Bunny's Super Bowl performance is how it showed community brought together through hardship (cutting the sugar cane, repairing the power lines) and joy (the wedding, the daily interactions of the domino game, etc.). This theme of community keeps coming up, whether it's in Minnesota or Puerto Rico or the thousands of points in between where people are extending kindness and neighborliness to each other in a time of crisis. This is the way forward for us as a species.
@jeanne-mayell I am reminded of wise humourist's (Will Rogers) take on it. "
“I don’t make jokes. I just watch the government and report the facts..”
“The short memories of the American voters is what keeps our politicians in office.”
“We always want the best man to win an election. Unfortunately, he never runs.”
“I remember when being liberal meant being generous with your own money.”
“The taxpayers are sending congressmen on expensive trips aboard. It might be worth it, but they keep coming back.”
Truly laughter is the best medicine.... Hope someone finds a dose in this post.
Oh my goodness, as one with a lifelong history of tornadoes, your dream put me on alert. Tornadoes have always been harbingers of trouble in my life. Over time, I learned to pay attention to the context of the dream enough so that a couple of times, I was able to avert the trouble they seemed to foreshadow but I never disregard tornado dreams.
I maintain that dreamers are the best interpreters of their own dreams because symbols are different for everyone. Having said that, (I can’t resist), three big points draw my attention and time will tell if they are salient.
- the darkness of the tornadoes suggests multiple types of trouble of which you are aware but others are not
- food shortages are a problem but you do not feel the lack
- you have a competent guide helping you to navigate and avoid danger.
Combined with the predictions of “something big happening on March 13-15” one wonders if the dream could be a warning of some upcoming national events that are scary but ones that do not deeply affect your personal wellbeing. You are not afraid, you have food and a great guide.
It could also be that you have to dodge some potentially troubling personal events in the near future, but either way, I am reassured on your behalf that you seem unscathed in the dream.
Thanks for posting it.
@ana, I was doing a meditation yesterday before you posted, and saw tornados, and even a new kind of intensified tornado. No doubt your tornado dream is also a metaphor for other things in life. However, during my read-the-future meditation Monday, the only vivid climate image that popped out was a vision of a strange cloud formation that was some kind of super cell that I expect climate scientists will be talking about.
It was not imminent, but showed up for some time in 2027, although could come earlier. I have no doubt that there will be more virulent tornadoes in the meantime. But this one was something unusual and indicated a new kind of climate phenomenon.
I occasionally have detailed apocalyptic-type dreams where I'm observing tornadoes, or fires, or tsunamis, or even attacks by unusual aircraft. As a rough averge, I get them around once a month. I'm almost never in danger myself with these dreams and sometimes I can help mitigate harm. I have generally put them down as personal rather than transpersonal. I have issues with "generalized anxiety disorder" but at the same time I'm usually pretty grounded. Maybe the dream events are a way of purging the anxiety since I usually end up OK.
I remember dreams nearly every night, at least a little bit. How do you know if a dream is personal or something else? My brain at night is like a movie theater, with some of the films being disaster movies.
Here's another sign of "wildness" coming through:
This morning I looked out the window and there was a pair of beautiful Pileated woodpeckers looking for snacks on a tree right next to the street. I was told as a child that they were rare and only found in the woods, and even living in the woods we rarely saw them.
I see them occasionally and fleetingly in my current neighborhood because there are a lot of old trees where the birds can find insects to eat. But today was a novelty, with a pair right by the road, indifferent to cars going by. It seems that Pileated woodpeckers have learned to thrive in the city, unlike their larger cousins, the Ivory-billed woodpeckers, who are likely extinct due to habitat loss.
Your idea of purging anxiety through disaster dreams is interesting and could well be the case. I only have a lame response for “how do you know if a dream is personal or transpersonal?" and that is, experience over time with dreams (in my case). However, you have had plenty of these dreams, it sounds like, so apparently that hasn’t answered your question.
Your brain is busy! If you haven’t tried a dream journal, you might start. If you record them immediately upon awakening you capture more details. When I kept one, I was surprised at the number of precognitive hits I got.
I hope these dreams don’t disturb your rest.
I am wondering if t will not be ble to push through any more tariffs after the SC ruling.
@ghandigirl He just put a 15% “duty” on imports. He is going to do whatever he wants.
