Here are some dreams from a fellow FREEPER:

The most haunting was my dream of a massive pandemic that has killed a significant percentage of the world's population. It caused panic, wars, martial law and general chaos.

I have had another dream about a nuclear attack. If I had not been behind some houses I would have been blinded by the nuke flash. I got out and saw the mushroom cloud forming. The shockwave and sound arrived about 30 seconds later. Where I was it was eerily quiet but as I packed up and left it got more and more chaotic with panic and even fighting amongst other survivors.

I had one more dream where I was put in an internment camp but managed to escape. I had a friend who helped me escape but he dissapeared as I escaped. The prisom camp was nothing compared to the water treatment plant that I passed through. In it, people were injecting biological agents into drinking water. I do not know the events that led to it. I got home to my family and we grabbed as much guns and ammunition as we could carry. The dream ended as we were about to get into a firefight against some strange troops (Whose uniforms I did not recognize. They were flat olive drab with strange red markings on the shoulders. Faces hidden behind some sort of riot gear whose visors were tinted black) who broke in.

I've had dreams like that too, where I remember seeing a mushroom cloud go off and there were four of us huddling in the basement, my gradeschool buddy I still hang with, his mom, myself and my mom. After some time, I remember him getting into his F-150 Ford pickup and me into my 1977 Mercury Cougar and going to stores to take supplies we need and I remember rummaging through Radio Shack for radio equipment to hopefully contact other survivors. Another time, I remember a Soviet bomber trying to hit me with an atom bomb to kill me but I kept dodging them in my Cougar ala "Speed Racer" style.

I had a weird dream of that type too, it was the future, I must have been in my mid to late 40's (I'll be 39 this year) and my father must have been a little past 70. My father and I were fighting some force, maybe we were in a civil war and/or fighting some sort of UN or EU troops. I don't know who. I had an M-1 Garand, my father had a double barrelled shotgun. We were trading fire with some of those UN/EU troops and we thought it was best to get out of there. I said to my father, "if we make it to my (1994 Ford) Explorer, we should be fine," as we were running and almost out of breath. I also remember I was married to a Christian lady and had a couple of kids, she was in her early 20's. I woke up after that in a cold sweat.

Lastly, I had a dream, again with my buddy, don't know how or why civilization was nearly in ruins but we hit the road, he had his F-150 towing his mobile home trailer and I had a 1977 Lincoln Continental Mark V towing a U-Haul. We got into a few scrapes along the way, one time my buddy had to come save me when I was cornered by a gang, I ran out of ammo for the Garand and was down to my M1911A1, he came in and saved me. Well we made it to a town relatively untouched, settled down as being mechanics and electronics repair, settled down and got married and went about our lives.

Maybe it was eating too much chocolate, hot wings, pizza, and what not along with a healthy dose of post-apocalyptic (my favorite genre) stories but on the other hand, such dreams like that can mean there is a change coming or needed in your life. At least thats what I've heard dreams like that could mean. I hope that's it, I hate to spend my middle aged years running around the woods like a World War II soldier. B-P
