"Dreams point the way to one’s whole way of being."
-Dr. Paul Lippmann

Dear Dream Zone,

Last night I had a dream that the sky was dark gray and a tornado was forming. My dogs were outside, and fearing for their safety, I ran to get them. I noticed my garage was on fire, and there were dead horses in the yard, as well. I didn't stop to tend to any of them, fearing only for my dogs. Thankfully, my dogs were safe and came running into the house. -Melissa 36

Lauri:

Tornados are an indication the dreamer is very worried about something. Your dogs represent someone you have loyalty towards such as a spouse or boyfriend, a friend, possibly even a co-worker. The dead horses are something that has seemingly come to an end in your life... issues, ideas or relationships that are no longer useful to you, which is why you didn’t bother tending to them in the dream. The garage being on fire is a good indication that either something has got you burning about something that is temporarily on hold or "parked." The good news is that your dogs were safe, which suggests you chose loyalty; a certain relationship was worth salvaging despite the chaos and worry going on around you or within you.

Melissa Replies: You nailed it. My boyfriend and I aren't really on the 'same page' any more, especially when it comes to his oldest child, who causes a lot of tension between us. I'm pretty fed up with the whole situation. If we break up, I may lose my house since I don't make enough to pay all the bills on my own -hence the worry. I haven't called it quits in hopes we can work it all out. Thank you for helping to verify what I had initially thought of this particular dream. Of course, I had your book to help me.
