Tornado

To be caught in a tornado foretold disappointment and perplexity—carefully studied plans for swift fortune torn apart before they could bear fruit. The force is sudden and indifferent to your designs. Sometimes the dream asks what swift hope you've staked everything on, and what would remain if the storm undid it.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for tornado, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901

Ten Thousand Dreams Interpreted
