Thunderstorm Dream



Dreams are strange, man.
Saturday night I had a very strange thunderstorm dream.
I rarely have dreams about storms, even with all the crazy shit in my head.
I was in South City, (a stretch of Ann Ave. I used to live on) and in an old three story house. It was not in the best of shape, and in total need of structural support. The windows rattled every time the wind blew, and it was a fury outside. I was in the attic, looking out the windows as they shook. There were two houses I kept running back and forth from during the storm, but mostly stayed in this primary one. When the storm was over, I went outside and felt the warm sun on my face. When I looked up I saw that the other home had been destroyed by the storm. All that was left was the shell of the bottom room.

This has sparked my curiosity because the dream was SO vivid.
I looked up "Thunderstorm" at a dream interpretation website,
and a here's what is said:

"Storm-- To see a storm in your dream, signifies overwhelming struggle, shock, devastating loss and catastrophe in your personal affairs. The storm also represents unexpressed fears or emotions, such as anger, rage, turmoil, etc. On a more positive note, the storm signifies the rising of spirit within.
To dream that you take cover in a storm, foretells that whatever disturbance or problems is occurring in your life will quickly blow over. Consider also the phrase "weather the storm", which suggests your ability and strength to withstand whatever comes."

...now how about "Old House":

"House-- To see a house in your dream, represents your own soul and self. Specific rooms in the house indicate a specific aspect of your psyche. In general, the attic represents your intellect, the basement represents the unconscious, etc. If the house is empty, then it indicates feelings of insecurity. If the house is shifting, then it suggests that you are going through some personal changes and changing your belief system. If you live with others in your walking life, but dream that you are living alone, suggests that you need to take new steps toward independence. You need to accept responsibilities and be more self-reliant.
--To see an old, run-down house in your dream, represents your old beliefs, attitudes and how you used to think or feel. A situation in your current life may be bringing about those same old attitudes and feelings. Alternatively, the old house may symbolize your need to update you mode of thinking. If the house is new, then it indicates that you are entering into a new phase or new area in your life."

Ok, there is an entry for "Attic" & "Window":

"Attic--To see an attic in your dream, represents hidden memories or repressed thoughts that is being revealed. It also symbolize your mind, spirituality, and your connection to the higher Self. Alternatively, it signifies difficulties in your life that will hinder you from attaining your goals and aspirations. However, in the end, after a long period of struggle, you will overcome them. "

"Window--To see windows in your dream, signifies bright hopes, vast possibilities and insight.
To dream that you are looking out the window, signifies your outlook on life, your consciousness, point of view, awareness, and intuition. You may be reflecting on a decision and seeking guidance. Or you need to go out into the larger world and experience life. If you are looking in the window, then it indicates that you are doing some soul searching and looking within yourself.
To see shut windows in your dream, signifies desertion and abandonment.
To see shattered and broken windows, denotes misery and disloyalty."

I tried to look up like "Collasped Houses" etc, but couldnt find anything about that. The only thing that came up was some stuff about a roof, but I never saw a roof in my dream.
