Re: " an aurora "

About three days ago I was having intensely vivid dreams of the evening sky. I was walking along a roadway with other people- you could look out and see a city in front of you, mountains behind the city, and the night sky.

Some of the stars seemed to become shooting stars- I watched them in fascination. (There were 17-18 shooting stars occurring simultanously)

After watching this for awhile (all of us were watching- as people watch fireworks- and were ooohing and aaahing...) the "stars" moved closer and morphed into missiles.

Behind the missiles, a tremendous aurora borealus was shimmering- intense colors of blue/green and red/orange.

I only saw an aurora once, about 10 years ago. In the dream, the aurora filled up almost a third of the sky.

Everyone on the bridge began to scream and run.

I've not had such a vivid dream in Years. Hoping I was just having subconscious thoughts about comets and the like.

The first time Munch described the experience which gave rise to this painting was in Nice, writing in his literary diary. The entry for 22 January 1892 reads: "I was walking along the road with two friends. The sun was setting. I felt a breath of melancholy - Suddenly the sky turned blood-red. I stopped, and leaned against the railing, deathly tired - looking out across the flaming clouds that hung like blood and a sword over the blue-black fjord and town. My friends walked on - I stood there, trembling with fear. And I sensed a great, infinite scream pass through nature."

You saw my dream right?? We had our dreams on almost the same night..very close. Both about nukes. !!!
