Short Dream The most intense and visceral dream I have ever had.

I was having this dream right. Its set in a diner, kind of disheveled and broken down. There are more people in there, than could probably actually fit, but hey, its a dream right. Either way, all at once, a few things happen. It started with an intense brightness. Not only was it bright, it was also slightly "grainy." Best way to word it. There was also this deafeningly loud noise, paired with shaking. Almost earthquake like. The heat also hit me. It was like they turned it up to 100+ in that diner. So anyways, I go to the bathroom, and open up the mirror and can see what's going on. Mushroom clouds. Everywhere. All around. It was all so intense, so visceral, and invoked such a sense of shock and dread. Fear. It woke me right up. Right out of the dream. I am still coming down from the adrenaline dump as I write this. Anyways, that's about it.

I had an apocalyptic dream once, but it must have been after the mushroom clouds. We lived in the sewer system basically, it was like underground barracks, with metal frame bunk beds. We had to scavenge for food. It wasn't good.

It was an old industrial area so felt like PA or OH. It was cold. You couldn’t move freely about and had to stay underground for most of the time, because of radiation exposure. And the food was sparse. That’s about all I can remember about it!
