Oh man, I really need to chase something!  I know my SDS (Storm Deprivation Syndrome to my non-chasing friends) is bad when I start having multiple tornado nightmares.  I rarely remember any dreams that I ever have, but the one last night involving a tornado in Parker was extremely vivid.  I dreamt that I was in Parker (for some reason) going to a movie with a girl I dated when I was a freshman in college (not sure what that’s all about…yikes!), and as we were walking in to the theater, she says “Wow, there’s a tornado!”  I flip out and start searching for my camera or camcorder or something to photograph it.  I rush back to my car and I have none of the above items.  Wait a minute!  My phone has a camera on it.  And of course, in my dream the cell phone I have has the worst camera of all time on it.  I kept trying to take pictures of it but none of them would come out.  I did however remember to phone it in to the NWS!  Jesus.  So anyway, I tell the girl to get back in the car because we needed to get closer to it.  Then what happens?  We hit a bumper to bumper traffic jam and cannot move.  I roll down the window and I’m yelling at everyone to get out of the way because a tornado was coming.  Everyone just looked at me and waved and all had these very toothy, clownish grins on their faces.  Every person had the same creepy smile and just kept waving non-stop until about 100 or so people were just waving and smiling.  Some people even got out of their cars and just stood next to mine smiling and waving.  What the hell?  I woke up terrified.  I shuddered and then want back to sleep, but damn I need Spring to get here.

Parker, CO tornado from 2008...Tornado in my dream was eerily similar.
