Very bad dream...
I woke up this morning from a nightmare... I was dreaming that I was talking with Rocio (my wife... pronounced "row-see-oh") about something (related to the previous parts of the dream, which was very long). We were in a room with several other people... like a big hotel ballroom with tables, high ceiling, chandelliers, waiters, music, etc. The other people were talking among themselves about other stuff.
As Rocio and I were talking, I looked toward a large window behind me, and I saw the sky slowly getting brighter from somewhere above the top of the window (kinda like when you see a car comming around a corner... you can see the light, but you can´t see the actual headlights).
As the sky was getting brighter, I then saw the actual source of the light (the thrusters of a nuclear missile), slowly moving toward the horizon, away from us (It had passed right overhead), until it hit just beyond the line of sight. We were in some sort of house, at the top of a very high mountain or hill, overlooking a huge valley with rivers, farms, and a few roads. It was dusk. There was a city just beyond the valley (we couldn´t actually see it from where we were, but we knew it was there).
I then saw the blast of super intense light, just beyond the horizon where the city was... and when the light was gone, I was able to see several more missiles flying toward the same city, lighting up the sky. The shockwave from the first one was now visible on the valley, aproaching us from the distance, leveling everything and laying a carpet of radioactive dust at increadible speed, while the mushroom cloud started to rise from the point of first impact.
We took cover as the other missiles started to hit, and light up the sky with the blast. We started to feel the rumble of the shockwave getting closer, and the roar, getting louder. All the tables, glassware, and lamps started to shake. Things on the walls started to fall to the ground (picture frames breaking).
People started to scream and run around in panic. The ground started to shake harder, like an earthquake, and the sky got dark as the shockwave finally hit the building... with the windows breaking around us from the blast.
Then I woke up...
I was pretty startled.

Horrible Imagery
That conjures up images of a few older movies that I saw many years ago, "The Day After", and "Threads". If anyone hasn't seen those movies you've got to check them out. As terrible as it is, these depict the true realities of what happens in a nuclear confrontation.
THAT'S among the scariest things about the Bush Administration-- They haven't ruled out the use of nuclear weapons in Iraq, etc.. Beyond the fact that we have a president who can't even pronounce "Nuclear", anyone who would even consider the use of such weapons is totally insane and/or completely oblivious to the very foundations of human decency and civilization. If weapons of this kind were ever used, in this day and age it would be difficult, if not impossible, to stop a full scale escalation of nuclear holocaust on a total, global dimension. Such would be the end of everything we know. All of this, everywhere; gone. There would be no law for the survivors, no government, no organization, and nothing that distinguishes the vast progress we’ve made as a people in terms of medicine, technology, food production, or civility. All of it would be gone, and most of us would be dead, or at the very least wish for death.
Religious freaks have been crying that the end of the world will come with God’s return to Earth, but the end of our world is more likely to come from a decidedly terrestrial threat: The arrogance of self righteous leadership hell bent on forwarding agendas designed to benefit the few rather than the many.
This is where we are today, and it has to stop. Think of that dream if anyone wants to reserve the use of nuclear weapons at any time, anywhere. Woe for the suffering such weapons bring to humanity, as you can’t contain the terrible power they command. Ever.
Please read this for an example of what nuclear confrontation really means.

I recall watching that movie on some rerun in the late 80s. It was pretty shocking. I never saw "The Day After" though.
Shawn... I guess it does sound like Linda Hamilton´s dream. But I haven´t watched it in quite a while, so I guess I have just been unconsciously stressed by the whole possibility of "nukiular" war.
