Jim, I have had that first dream several times also
Here's a new one I just had...
I stand on the deck of my house with my family having dinner on a summer night
The wind blows incredibly strong and the sky is somewhat dark
It whips through the trees and over the lake bending the trees too much
First one tree simply snaps in half and goes spinning past the deck and into the lake
Then another, as the trees grow thinner, the wind grows stronger
And the biggest tree of all finally is snapped in half and hurled onto the deck, knocking it off of our house and landing directly on my mother
She is pinned under its weight in mid-air, apparently unhurt but unable to move
My step dad plants a gigantic twisted tree root in our lawn in replacement of that tree
The tree roots must be twenty feet tall
and I wonder where he got the marvelous thing from
