DREAM

Woke up at the 6am alarm call this morning from a strange but vivid dream.
I lived through a nuclear war. The dream started with me sitting infront of the computer reading my daily news feed from AlJazeera (have gotten hooked on its reporting of world events without the normal default attitude of negativity toward one direction that has become the norm in the UK press be it in print, TV etc)...And a the phone rang. At the other end was an unfamiliar voice. All I remember was hearing the person tell me to turn the TV on turn the TV on......
I go into the other room. Switch it on...news24 is showing live images from on top of a domed building and from the viewpoint in the distance a massive blinding light begins to erupt into almost sun power. People are running in the distance calling out in a language I have never heard and don't understand. Within a moment as the flash comes closer and closer to the camera the static of non transmission kicks in and the feed is lost. I pick up the phone....But the phone is now silent. I try ringing out but after a moment the phone line is also dead, there is not even a dial tone.

I hear whispering and dogs barking from outside the window....I go to see whats going on...on opening the window I see that the sky is in total darkness. The clock on the wall says 8am. Somethings wrong. I get up to try the house phone....The door bell rings.....I answer the door to a woman in a white robe with a red bandana...she tries to tell me something...but is too quiet for me to hear the words. As I look at her the words seem to turn into images of different buildings I recognize from around the world. I look her in the eyes. She taking me by my arm and motions for me to go with her.....As I leave and close the door...there is a large car waiting outside. As we approach I am told from a man who I remember looked like the US president that the woman is his robot version of Condoleezza Rice and that the real one was kidnapped in the Far East.

As I get into the car I am told that the world needs my help....we travel along the road and talk for a while. I am trying to stay calm and not ask too many question although I remember feeling like being part of a matrix film. All of a sudden the car sprouts props and we begin to accent into the clouds at faster than light speed....It was here that I woke up.........

Oh, I don't think it's because of the psychedelic cough medicine... :) it's just an effect of Nick's (very) artistic mind. Quite an inspiring dream, in fact.
I like the pics too...
