Tornado In The Narrows

I'm in the Narrows, Northern Territory. Driving my Mum's car

We go off the road several times, driving onto the road reserve outside peoples front yard

Some people have just laid new dirt down. I drive over it and comment that even though they saw me do it, they wouldn't have seen my nameplate

We get to the end of the road where it meets Bagot Rd and I desperately tell the other person in the front seat with me to turn left before we do

Then, after we have missed the turn, I realise that I'm the one driving

I pull over just before Bagot Rd, to turn the car around

We were meant to drive the car down the street my old piano teacher lives on, to park it near her house

On Bagot Rd, it looks like the road has some sort of reverse parade happening. With people lining the streets to show-off to the vehicles driving past

On the opposite side of the road are cheerleaders, lining the edge of the road. For some reason I think they are advertising some type of road race, Grand Prix or the V8 Supercars

On the edge of Bagot Rd on our side of the street is a woman in a trenchcoat who opening it to reveal she is naked to cars driving past

We decide we should go back and park the car, then walk over and check out the woman who is flashing

At this point the dream seems to get reversed, going in multiple opposite directions at the same time

Firstly, we are walking from Bagot Rd back to the street my old piano teacher used to live on, to get to the car which is parked near her house

In this we have already gone back to see the naked woman and are talking to her. Though I'm not sure we've seen her naked (except from behind)

Secondly, we are turning around to go park there and then come back. But we haven't seen her or talked to her yet

Both directions intersect with a massive tornado

We are walking back to the street we missed here, to the car. It is night time

I am telling the person we are with that we don't really need to worry about tornados here, all we ever really get is small versions we call "Willy Willies", which might knock you off your feet, but they won't really hurt you

As I am talking about tornados, we look up the road facing away from Bagot Rd towards Winnellie shops and see a massive tornado heading our way

It's hard to tell how far away it is, but it's immense

The direction of the dreams overlapping seems to converge here

We are wondering whether we have enough time to run back to the street the car is on, to take cover inside the vehicle

Then at the same time we are driving the car back to the intersection of Bagot Rd to pick up both the woman who was flashing as well as all the cheerleaders on the opposite side of the street. There are enough of them that we have to open the tailgate of the station wagon so the cheerleaders who can't fit in the back seat of the car can pile in to the back section of the station wagon

Once we have them all secured, we taoff off to drive away from the tornado

Yet somehow at the same time, we are yet to know if we'll safely make it back to where they car is parked
