Dream #18 and #19

Two dreams this week, similar themes:

In the first one, I dreamed about the end of the world. An asteroid impacted Earth; I ran out on the street in my bare feet to watch it streak across the sky and crash in the distance, knowing that what I was watching was so final that it was only a matter of when. The impact wasn't what would kill us though, but the aftermath. I spent the rest of the dream thinking of what I would need to survive, and trying to gather my family to me without success. Despite the sick certainty of the impact at the beginning, the dream affected me more with the growing desperation and frustration I felt being unable to reach or convince my loved ones to join me. I felt alone, I felt that everyone was too far away, and I felt doom.

Last night I had a dream that before Hiroshima and Nagasaki, an atomic bomb was dropped on another real city as a test case: one far away, forgotten in the waging war. I was the pilot. I watched the cylinder shaped bomb drop in slow motion, falling falling falling, and then the heat and the radiation and the mushroom cloud rising. Nobody remembers this city now, because everyone from it was destroyed. It started with a Y.
