My nuclear nightmare...
Every now and then this bad dream returns to me.
Usually I find myself somewhere around the place where I was born. I'm alone or with people I've not seen before doing ordinary stuff, then the huge rockets come flying by and soon after the mushrooms appear...closer and closer.

Sometimes I run, sometimes I let the blast and the waves of particles and radiation hit me as I know I've no chance of escaping. I can swear I am able to feel the heat of the blast in my dreams.

The scene changes from each dream but the nukes and their destruction don't...

This is the first time in my life that I paint something from my dreams or nightmares..and it felt kinda weird doing so..

Scarey dream, but I love the picture especially the way the background domes. Perhaps drawing it will relinquish it from your dreams? :)
:icondemashitawanwan:
Ooh, I hate those dreams where it seems like you can really feel whatever's happening is ACTUALLY HAPPENING! Those dreams are really shpooky...*shudder*

Have you ever had that feeling in which you never thought of that sends you whirling into a vertex of wonderous and powerful enlightenment then slips you into a state of mind that lets you believe that all tuna belongs to you?

I know I have. ^__^
:iconshattered-universe:
I had a dream similar to that, except that I wasn't near the blast - just the fallout. There is most certainly a powerful psychological effect, as I felt weak and sickly that entire next day, @_@

2% of people have some bulls### figure about how 98% of people fall into <insert stereotype here>. Put this in your signature if you're part of the group that wants them to shut the F### up.

I have dreampt so real that I could feel the gravel beneath my feet, and feel the breath of the man standing behind me on the back of my neck.
When we dream like that, we don't get much rest and we wake up feeling like we have just finished running a marathon, or doing heavy lifting as our muscles were tense all night.
It is a good idea to keep a dream journal. Helps to get the immages from head to paper...
