morning of march 9th i dreamt there was a storm coming but i had to check on the neighbor's cat. with pochita on her pink leash we began to trek across rolling grassy hills with bland suburban houses darted indiscriminately between them. the wind was harsh & i noticed the sky was green, i kept thinking, uh oh you know it's bad when the sky is green. as i came to a clearing i noticed 3 enormous tornadoes on the horizon. they were dense & almost black. for a moment i could only stand and watch them plow towards me in awe. i kept thinking how the lighting didnt make sense, because there was a golden light cresting the landscape, like sunset, but i couldnt see the sun anywhere.

panic set in so i ran to the neighbors house almost dragging pochita to make sure she could keep up. as i opened the door a group of cats & other small creatures hurried inside. the house was just a box, a waiting room. bland and unfamiliar, the lighting abrasive. there was a bed so i crawled into it. as all the animals stood around me i was so afraid to die that i accidentally fell asleep.(?). . .my dream self dreamt of the surrounding houses being ripped to shreds by the tornadoes. it was in black & white. sometimes it was a bird's eye view, sometimes real close. eventually the plains were left barren.

my dream self was awoken by the love of my life. the tornadoes had passed & it was safe to return home. together we moved quickly through the hills and as i looked around, everything was still standing. it was sunrise. amid the tall grass sat senior citizens in plastic white lawnchairs. i thought they must be insane. as we returned home i greeted my animals & woke up.

the next day i began this drawing, the imagery stuck in my mind. as i sketched it out i was listening to various daily forecasts by astrologers. can't remember who, but one of them said something along the lines of: "if your dreams are wild & scary right now, just know there are angels under your bed, holding you up & supporting you with their light"...the image of this in my mind felt urgent to convey. it's rare for me to have a dream within a dream but whenever i do it seems to carry something significant.

first thing i knew upon waking- this dream was warning me of an imminent whirlwind event, perhaps dangers on the horizon ? something about uranus. a message from uranus? something about the colors. as the day went on i began to feel the dream showed how i will be protected despite any disaster. less than a week later, there was indeed a catastrophic event that was very sudden & came out of nowhere. as events unfolded i kept the dream in my mind. despite a long brutal few days of uncertainty & adreniline, the situation resolved in a favorable way, life resumed balance. this drawing helped me occupy my anxious mind during the heat of it.
