Strangeness

We've been having lots of storms lately. A really bad one came through last night and boomed ominously right over my house. I sat straight up in bed, then fell right back, realising it was just thunder. My first thought was nuclear attack.

This happened a few years back when I had a series of nuclear holocaust dreams. A storm literally exploded right over my house in the middle of the night and I sat up in bed and looked at the clock so I would know what time the bomb had been dropped.

This brought to mind the fact that I don't go through a day without thinking about the End Times. They haunt the peripheries of my mind and linger there constantly. Am I going mad? I am by no means a psychic of any great gifts. I am, like most other folks, rather average or below average when it comes to sixth sense abilities. I have no delusions that, because of my chosen spiritual path, I have a corner in the psychic or magickal gifts department. In fact, I am rather adamant regarding my 'average joe' status.

But...I would be very interested to find out how many people in the world have had an upsurge of End Times visions, thoughts, premonitions, or general strange feelings. Perhaps it's just a by-product of our current global crisis, brought about by our pig leader. Or maybe it's a cultural occurrence similar to what happened in Rome prior to its Fall. It's typical for End Time prophecies to escalate in a country/empire/kingdom that is about to implode like a flan in a cupboard. I wonder if many more Americans are feeling the squeeze of that It's Over vibe?

Whatever it is, I'm feeling it more strongly with each passing day and it's really starting to freak me out. I actually saw myself walking a deserted train track hoping to reach another town that might have people the other day. Yeah, I drove over a bridge under which were train tracks and there it was, that image of my migration by necessity! And I wasn't the only one.

There's a movie coming on Sci-Fi this coming Saturday called Deathlands. It's about a post-Apocalyptic America. Part of me wants to watch it, but another part is saying 'do you really want to feed this fever?'

I'll probably watch it 'cos I'm a pathetic sci-fi addict.

I have thoughts/dreams about stuff like that ALL the time. I can't say an "upsurge" because I always have. In my case though, I think it might be a product of being raised Catholic. We all know the strange dementia that can cause!

For instance I used to have a recurring dream that it was the apocolypse ... Fire was raining down everywhere etc etc ... Jesus appeared and took all the children into this safe room and started hearing their confessions. But Jesus didn't LIKE me!! He kept being mean and snotty to me and wouldn't hear my confession.

That's just wrong.

I know what you mean, kind of...I've always had postapocalyptic-themed dreams for the most part, but until recently I've never had ones about a *current* apocalypse---those actually peaked a couple of months ago for me though...I think there is a lot of anxiety with the political situation in this country---even if it's not truly prophetic, I do think that on some level there is a kind of collective consciousness, that if some people are worried, everyone will be.

As a kid I used to have a lot of nuclear war dreams. In my 20s and 30s I sometimes dwelt on these thoughts, either of nuclear war or environmental disaster. They kinda stopped about 15 years ago or so.
