Here is another warning about becoming obsessed with a dream.
This writer uses the metaphor of a tornado to tell her readers that an intensely moving dream can easily pull a dreamer into its orbit.
Funnel-Shaped Dreams
During the afternoon of 12 July, 1848

The centres of the columns changed
owing to violent writhing.
Only a little song fell from any of them, and still
they pulled in listeners.
*These were nearer than I ever before saw
