Dream – nuclear bomb
The night before last…
I was walking in a neighborhood of fraternity houses at night, for some reason, with my dad. I asked him if we could turn around and go back to the car, because I was getting nervous. (Nervous of what? Frat boys? The weather?) We look over across the street and beyond, and there is a huge white structure…it appears to be some kind of grain storage or water-storing building. However, my dad tells me it’s a nuclear bomb and even the tiniest movement or disturbance could set it off at any time. I felt very afraid.
I woke up and my eyes were met with blinding white light; my room was entirely lit by this mysterious light. The nuclear bomb from my dream was real, had struck, and I had opened my eyes in time to see the end of my life.
No more than a half-second later I realized my room was filled with the white flash of lightning just outside my window. I heard the thunder rumble and the rain pour, thought, “Oh, it’s raining. That’s peaceful,” and instantly fell down onto my pillow in deep sleep.

Potential contributing factors…
1. Dad – I haven’t seen my parents in a while, and have recently been missing and calling them. My dad might be in the dream instead of my mom, because he told me recently on the phone he is going to send me something in the mail, but he won’t say what it is, so he’s got my curiosity and attention, perhaps, more than my mom at the moment…
2. Fraternity houses – I walk along a row of fraternity houses every time I come back from work, so I always see the houses (at night), and see the signs with their Greek letters, and wonder which is a fraternity and which is a sorority…
3. Nuclear bomb – just something that is a threat nowadays, and it always worries me!

Interpretation…
Obviously there were a lot of real-life factors that could have easily contributed to this strange dream.
The abstract idea: I fear even small changes, and always assume the worst is, or could, happen. I love my family and always want to be there for them. I want them to be there for me too, and maybe sometimes I even expect them to protect me against things that I can only protect myself from, or things that no one can protect me/us from.
Lesson: Don’t always assume the worst! Keep my head up, do my best, and things will turn out better than I expect. Don’t rely on other people to make happen what I know I can do myself or SHOULD do myself. There are factors and threats in life that can happen that no one can control… if they happen, they happen. That’s just life.
