Has any of you had dreams that you are in a nuclear holocaust?

Question

I used to get them a lot, really earry. like the silence before the bomb goes off. then images like in terminator.sometimes i manage to get to a shelter.
Sometimes I just lie on the ground and feel this warm air go across my back, which is wierd because I would just shrivel up.
And a couple of times I've got up after to see everyone else dead.

Answer 1

Yes, I've had a very vivid nuclear holocaust dream that was similar to yours with the bomb going off and all, except mine carried into the war that followed. I remember it clearly to this day even though I had it fourteen years ago.
It was like the future scenes from "Terminator", everything was blown to hell with dead/decaying bodies everywhere. I was with a group of soldiers/partisans riding on top of a BTR-70 (Russian/Combloc AFV) going to attack a rail-point where soviet style tanks (I think they were T-72s') were being offloaded. We arrived at the rail-point, dismounted from the BTR, and moved into a position overlooking the loading dock and began attacking, I woke up when one of the tanks returned fire into our position.
The funny part is that the rail-point from the dream is real. I stumbled across it some time after the dream when I was delivering stuff in a part of town that I wasn't familiar with. The loading dock and the building that we were attacking from was there, I had never been to that part of town before but here it was clear as a bell!!! I stopped the truck and staired at it for about twenty minutes, it creeped the hell out of me, everything was the same as the dream.
I have driven by the place many times now and the hair on the back of my neck still stands up when I go by-EEERIE!!!

You've been watching too many movies.

What will happen if a major nuclear device explodes near me? If you're within 30 miles of the epicentre, you're dead. Go back to sleep and stop worrying. If you are not sucked backwards at about 300 mph and blown to smithereens and pulverised, it was only a dream.

If a dirty bomb explodes in your town you may not die right away but you will get sick in about a week and die of nuke poisoning.

Nuke weapons of the modern kind kill hundreds of thousands on the day of explosion. They continue to kill the rest of the population from fall-out or nuke dust in the atmosphere which pollutes everything, the earth the crops the water and the air we breath - we're all dead anyway.

Even if you survived a nuke holocaust, you would wish you had not. There then follows what is called a nuclear winter. The sky is so full of dust the sun don't shine, the crops don't grow and you starve to death. All the canned food will be consumed by the end of week two. If you know a nuke attack is about to happen, get as near to the blast as possible - you won't feel a thing - WHAM!

Answer 3

Yep. Quiet day, just bumbling along...slight breeze. Blue sky.

I hear a whoosh, look up...see the contrail of the missile.. no point even hiding.

I'm looking at it when it detonates. One second, clear blue sky. A thousandth of a second later, the Sun has a rival in the sky, blanking out all.

I don't need to worry about being blinded though. The light got to me first, travelling at 186,000 miles per second. Fractions of a second later, the heat will claim me and my newly destroyed retina, atomizing me completely. The sound of the explosion is something I'll never hear, as I will cease to exist before the roar reaches the place where a man once stood.

Then I wake up.

Sorry. That cheery midnight optimism is kinda catchy, isn't it?!

Answer 4

I used to have recurring nightmares about bombs after my school played this movie depicting real life after a bomb went off. Real kids on a school bus and everything. The kids were dressed very 50's. I think the older girl from Father Knows Best (also Ellie in the early Andy Griffiths) was in it. It could have been called "If" or something like that. That movie freaked me completely out as a young teen.

Answer 5

Yes. Just once. The dream was that I was looking out my bedroom window and...lots of people were standing in the street looking at something...then I turn to the left and I see a red sky with at least a dozen nuclear mushroom cloud pillars.

Then in another dream, I am kinda walking along destroyed buildings. The sky is all gray and gloomy. There are destroyed buildings (just walls) everywhere. But there was no nuclear clouds in this dream. Just massive destruction.

Answer 6

Strange.... I have also had dreams in the past that I'm in the middle of a war, i literally see the bombs going off around and see people getting killed and running for their safely, i see planes above dropping missiles down below where i am until i see a missile coming straight down in my direction and i just kneel down w/ my arms on top of my head (as if im gonna be able to block the missile) I pray and think about my family and hope i dont feel the pain... Then i shut my eyes close and I know that is the end for me! Its very, very, very scary and disturbing.... I also had a similar dream a few weeks before Sept 11th.... Since i have only had one more dream like that and when it happened i was freaking out!

Answer 7

Sure. I have lots of Apocalyptic dreams...some don't even have a specific cause, but oceans rising, lava flowing, everyone dying. Sometimes, too, I've seen afterwards, with the dead arisen...sometimes the dream shifts to a sort-of hell, or a post-Rapture time...

Dunno what causes the apocalyptic dreams...I actually had one a few weeks ago that was so realistic that when I awoke and saw light coming in through my window, I was sure that it was real, and that I could open the window and prepare to see the world passing on...

Answer 8

The fact is if you are not in a big city and are not in the fallout tracks you will probably survive the coming nuclear holocaust. Your dreams are warning you of what you already know...the USA will get nuked in the near future. Many (about 2/3) will be wiped out but that means 100 million will survive...make a plan to be self sufficient for at least two weeks.

Answer 9

I used to have dreams of that all the time as a kid, teenager. As I got older and the Cold War ended, my dreams of The End changed too, to other things like Meteor Impacts (extinction level events), Alien Invasions, Ecosystem Collapses....

Lately though, when I dream of the future gone wrong....oh man this is sick.

It's a combination of ecosystem collapse (essentially global warming killing off the *trees* and making *too much* of the planet a desert) and multiple transhumanity or singularity events happening *at once*.

Think three parts Mad Max/Road Warrior movie, and one part *each* of _Alien Nation_ (having a group of refugee ETs on earth), _Dragon Ball_ (having a group of near-Superman like people on earth), and hints of _Babylon 5_ (having telepaths about....and some signs of other aliens playing the sneaky-sneaky game).

In other words, nine kinds of messed up. But hey, at least people get to live, right? It beats spending your childhood dreaming of *atomic bombs* going off everywhere, and of nuclear winter (as it relates to the Twilight of the Gods, when Ragnarok hits and the Wolves Eat the World).

I know, *lol*, too much brain, not enough to *do* with it. *lol* ;)

Hope this helps, and have a good one! (a pleasant dream that is)

Answer 10

No but i had a one off apocalyptic kind of vision when i was 13, it was when i fainted, it was like 11 at night and i was lookin out my bedroom window and i fainted and like saw just dark and millions of gravestones in front of me as far as the eye could see. i can honestly say that was the scariest moment in my life, i woke up crying. it doesnt sound scary in words but it was different at the time.
