Two dreams

Last night I had two dreams that I remember rather vividly.

1. I was in a relatively small building. I was living there, but there weren't any bedrooms. It was more like an office. I was in the basement (one of those partially-underground basements - "garden level" if you prefer). I looked out the window, and saw a tornado outside, and it was headed in my direction. I went out into the hallway and knocked on doors. The only person I recognized from real life was one of my coworkers. She said she knew there was a tornado, and told everyone to stay in the hallway because it was safest. I kept looking out the window - I could see it from the hallway - and the tornado was edging closer and closer. It seemed like a sure thing that it would hit us directly, so I decided that there were a few things I needed to gather from my "important things" drawer so that they didn't disappear when the building was destroyed. The only two things I was planning on getting were my passport and the envelope containing the cash I withdrew for when I eventually buy a car. My passport was right where it should be, but the cash envelope was gone. I tore the room apart looking for the envelope. The tornado got closer. I started tearing through other rooms. When I get to the room that belonged to my coworker, I found the envelope inside a long metal cylinder. I unrolled the envelope, and was ready to confront my coworker, but the tornado was extremely close. Everyone was scared. Then the tornado turned, and only clipped the corner of the building. It left no damage.

2. In the other dream, I was in a greenhouse/conservatory type of place with lots of exotic plants inside. There was a pond in the middle, and a rectangular path around the pond. I was there with a friend (unidentified), and we were sitting on a ledge that surrounded the pond. A very strange-looking creature came up to us and nuzzled me. It was a very friendly animal (and kind of looked like a muppet). Later, my friend and I donned some cross-country skis (because suddenly there was snow on the path, even though it was warm in the room). Other people joined us, and we knew them both. One was tagged as the "hot girl who all the guys fell in love with," and the other was named Sam, "the cute girl that everyone loves (platonically)". We skied around the path for a long time. Finally, I looked at Sam and told her that she had a red spot on her shirt. It looked like someone was aiming a laser pointer at her. Suddenly, everyone freaked out and started skiing faster - because it wasn't just a laser pointer, it was the laser sight from a gun. We were skiing for our lives. But then Sam was hit. she collapsed and fell backwards, her skis coming off in the process. There was a spot in the middle of her abdomen (where her shirt had come up) that was a large red circle. She stopped breathing, and I woke up.
