A Friend's Dream

[Loegaire]

I'm in town with my mother, it's a cloudy and humid day. We're in a sort of square, there's a round tower-thing (a mall, I think) in the centre and there are quite a lot of people around. We're walking around the square and suddenly my mother begins to run, pulling me along. Then there's a blinding flash of light, I think "Atomic bomb!", Mum pulls me down onto the ground, there's rubble everywhere ... then it goes black and I suddnely become lucid and think something along the lines of "It's a dream ... whew ... it's just a dream!" then I go back into the dream. I'm in a hospital, my Dad's standing over me, but I don't know what happened to my mother. Then I wake up. The above is a dream another friend had, and she wished for me to interpret it for her. Can anyone help?

Many people are having these anxiety dreams about Nuclear Devastation. I suppose it is the Collective Consciousness -- the Superconscious Mind registering its protest against this very real threat to all life on earth. You know, people are apt to blame organized religion for all the troubles in the world, but they overlook the much more serious threat that atheistic science has posed. They, the scientists, pretend to be so smart, but they build bombs that can blow up the world and deliver them over to politicians and generals for no better incentive, I suppose, then that they can get their grants renewed or for the promise of university tenure. Death for the entire world for a paycheck. What is so smart about that? But our Dream Minds, influenced by the Superconscious Collective Consciousness must suppose that a general level of nuclear anxiety might somehow eventually constrain our politicians into finally throwing a net over our Industrial Military Complexes and especially raining in all of those insanely mad scientists who give themselves more Nobel Prizes everytime they figure out another way they can put an end to all life... all while they insist that Religion is the real problem. yeah, sure.
