Thursday night- (first nightmare I had in a while)
I dreamed that my family was out finding some shelter. This was a post-apocalyptic scenario, the atmosphere in the dream felt urgent. Well, not many people had cars at this point, but we were some of the lucky ones. Mark and I drive to this abandoned warehouse, a mattress store where our moms were meeting up with us with our kids. Our moms, being the elders, were in charge of taking care of the children, while Mark and I gathered both information and supplies. We knew something was coming and felt the need to take precaution by hiding out where no one could find us. When we walked into this huge mattress warehouse, the first thing I noticed was the fallout. It was covered in white powder and although I hated to see it, I knew it was safer than any other place. Why? It seemed to be protected by a greater force above us. Almost as if it had its own electromagnetic shield, which I didn't really understand, but accepted. Mark and I were discussing our plans. We knew what it meant when we saw certain events coming to fruition. We got on the car and drove on the high way, went out to grab some food wherever we could. We were being followed and didn't know it, so when we arrived to our base, the police arrived just seconds after. SWAT looking police men come out of the car pointing their guns at us. Mark in the drivers seat, me in the back with Sienna, took one look at each other and knew that it was time. We counted to three, and in an instant, the plan was in full activation. Instead of surrendering, I grabbed Sienna and pulled her out of the car while Mark faced the police men with what looked like a giant piece of alien technological equipment; a bazooka with green lights at the end that shot lasers. This was given to us, and we knew when to use it. He told us to run as he said some cheesy Hollywood type line at the cops and blasted the Chief policeman, which happened to be Eddie Murphy. I tried not to look back, but at this point everything was in super slow motion. All I could think of was getting my daughter inside this warehouse, but I knew Mark wasn't going to make it, since part of the plan was to martyr himself. I knew that once she was in, I would have to lead the cops to a specific place... where or when, I don't know. I woke up at that point.
I didn't think much of this dream until yesterday when I heard of Japans Nuclear Power plant going into a state of emergency. The thing that struck me most about the dream, was seeing the fallout.
