Thunderstorms and the Shape of Dreams★★
December 10, 1996
Blaine House • The Dark Tower

[I dreamed of Little Debbie House and Banana House and landlords making shitty living places for students.] . . . the feel of this dream was like a shape, a sphere, feeling near the Tower but without its actual presence.. I wish I remembered more. A vast feeling.

Then, at Blaine House, a HUGE thunderstorm was coming. The radio said power was out where it had been. We could hear the thunder even though the storm was far in the distance. I was rushing about, preparing — shutting windows and screens and such, helping young Jess do the same in her room. I could walk around without worry in Blaine House. Dan was there, but it was not a problem. I actually didn’t mind him being there. The clouds were black and huge and coming fast but above us it was blue. The storm hit pretty intensely and I woke up to find a REAL thunderstorm going on!

References: Banana House and Little Debbie House are off-campus houses at Oberlin.

Tower Effects: This is more evidence that the Tower is an effect as much as a place. A shape that dreams conform to. It’s hard to describe.

Storm Integration: Here the lightning and thunder of a real thunderstorm bring one into my dream.
