I have strong recurring dreams about tornadoes. The people will be different, but every time I am trying to save myself and 1 to ~20 other people in the dream. The setting is always different, but the event is always tornadoes touching down around us and we're doing everything in our power to get away from them, from stealing cars to diving under bridges.

I slept through a tornado when I was a kid. It went 20 feet over me, literally, and broke out the pine tree outside at the level of its tail right next to my bedroom. I woke up in the morning and discovered the devastation that was my back yard, and how close I came to being killed. Quite the experience.

Sometimes I have out of body dreams. Take that as you like, I won't delve into sleep paralysis vs spirituality here. I refuse to.
The rest of my dreams range from weird to silly to anger inducing, but always random in place and topic. Sometimes people I know and love have different faces, sometimes they change faces over the course of the dream. Sometimes I get in a fight and can't seem to land a blow, like I'm punching under water. Sometimes I am fighting with an animal, or attempting to scare it off. During those times my wife wakes me because I am growling like an animal myself and usually thrashing, trying to wrestle the beast down in my head.
