If so then you may never be a lover of her music since there is already a barrier preventing you from getting deeper into the music. *BUT*, if you hated "The Dreaming" because it is too weird, then you might be surprised by her earlier works. I consider myself to be a Kate Bush "fan", but "The Dreaming" is *NOT* my favorite among her albums: I prefer the three earlier ones which are simpler and which contain a few "commercial" songs. Some of them are accompanied by only a piano and strings and are more "traditional" (altho they're still "katebush-ly" different!) then the ones you hear in "The Dreaming". However, if you think songs like Wham's "Wake me up before you go-go" are superb, well, then I *do* agree that you have wasted money on this album!!! But if you are open to all sorts of music, take another chance and sample her other music. There is a mini LP containing a few of her more "commercial" creations. Give it a listen; you may have a change of mind!
