This is so difficult for me because even though I had these dreams years ago, they are so horrible that it's hard to talk about -- and I warn you that a couple of these are graphic.

In the first dream, I am not me, but a male, unclothed except for a ragged makeshift loin cloth of sorts. I was dead inside, a shell, numb and in a deep state of shock. I am starving and rail thin. I'm standing in an enclosed cement stairwell/landing, like the ones in the city, going down to basement apartments and the like. There is a metal railing above me and men are standing there taunting me, pointing and laughing and insulting me. I am begging them for food. There are a couple of people in this pit with me, huddled in the corners, moaning and crying. All around me is the fetid stink of feces, urine and scraps of rotting material. After hours of this, a few men disappear from the railing. Suddenly they return jeering something about "here's your food" and they throw a decaying, grayish dead human body down in front of me. The bones are missing from the legs and one arm. I actually bend down and start picking at it...looking for edible pieces of flesh.

Next thing I know, I have somehow escaped and am roaming thru a gigantic cement block warehouse. It contains rows and rows of metal shelving, filled with household items. Suddenly I notice that a section of these items were my belongings! "These are my things! What are they doing with my things?" Then I woke up.

The next dream, I was in a room that was like a garage or storage room. There were sick, crippled and dead people stacked or thrown in corners and along the wall. As I recall this dream, the horror and sick fear, terror -- the shock I felt, the smells and sounds, all comes flooding back. I had been thrown into a wheelbarrow with dead people. I wasn't dead, but my captors didn't care. They were distinctly Middle Eastern and didn't speak much English. They were laughing, enjoying my anguish as they wheeled me around the room and were going to dump me into a pile of dead bodies. Then I suddenly felt a rush of peace and hope...like everything was going to be okay. I remember looking up toward the high windows and seeing the dusky light coming thru. Then I woke up.

The next one...it was nighttime and raining hard. I was so cold and hungry, and people were raiding, chasing us, chasing certain people. I was alone and had found these strangers hiding up against a clapboard wall, and in the dim light I could see the paint peeling slightly. I could smell the mustiness of the wet wood and earth. It was the outside of a garage or maybe a barn. They welcomed me, and I huddled with them in the shadows, in the cold mud as the rain relentlessly soaked us. We were being hunted, we knew they were close, but we had each other. Like the previous dream, I suddenly felt like everything was going to be okay. I felt peace before I woke up.

I have also had 2 dreams of future ways of dying...of being able to choose your method and moment of death. That in the future, we will be trained as a normal cultural thing, to die when we are ready, rather than feeling the need to hang on to life like we do now. We see death as a natural, normal and acceptable part of life--a transition rather than a tragedy. I will post these dreams in detail soon.

There are governmental agencies who's sole capacities are to analyze and predict future scenarios as they impact the world. Needless to say...these 'scenarios' are always changing...almost daily. We too...as individuals need to plan for future events. Some of you have the false sense of security that the government has massive warehouses of supplies in ready for "us" in case of a disaster. I'm sorry to tell you this...but we WILL be on our own when something major happens. This is the wake up call you've been waiting for! P-control = Population Control More on this later...

Thanks for sharing Shannon...I know how difficult is is to focus on the events to come. The suffering at hand for millions will be unbearable. However, we MUST remain focused and do everything we can to prep individuals for what's ahead.

Shannon, thank you so much for sharing. I know the emotional toll to revisit these types of dreams. Did you have any feelings about whether this was something to come in the future?

Other than your decription of those pushing the wheelbarrow being of Middle Eastern descent, your dreams reminded me of the Holocaust. My daughter had nightmares growing up and in high school soaked up anything related to WWII. Her interest was unnerving to me, as I can't watch/read anything related to the Civil War. I am born and bred Southern, and have never seen "Gone with the Wind," which amazes most people.

My daughter's dreams were similar to yours and once she began to learn about WWII, they subsided. About this time I watched an interview with a young woman who did sculptures based on the Holocaust. She stated she was the reincarnation of someone who died during that time. It got me wondering about my daughter, and my uncharacteristic aversion to the Civil War.

When I have a non-lucid dream, I awake with a sense of a time frame, so general and totally frustrating. The only thing I am certain of is that IT's coming. Did you have any similar sensations with these dreams?

A few weeks ago there was a program (I think on the SciFi channel) which dealt with the "COG" Plan, Continuation of Government. The scenario began with a nuclear device set off in Washington DC. The narrative included descriptions of the affected areas, time frames in minutes and emergency response capabilities.

Jade is right, there is a plan for continuation of government and maintenance of power/control. There is a COG manual. All resources will be used for these directives, during widespread and regional disasters. For those of us in the general populace, I'm reminded of the movie "Blazing Saddles" when the scrawny preacher tells the new sheriff, "Son, you're on your own."

In the aftermath of natural disasters and the prolific media coverage, we should all be prepared for an extended period of self sufficiency and security. Not a few days to a week, as some in the government and media continue telling us, only to foster a false sense of their abilities. Government, fed/state/local, simply cannot "fix" everything after a disaster within a week or two. It moves as slowly as a sloth and gets bogged down easily with jurisdiction/agency disputes. Seldom does the "right hand" know what the "left hand" is doing, and even more rarely do they actually work together.

In a widespread disaster, our government will be doing exactly what we are, going into survival and self preservation mode. Everyone will be "on Your Own."

Shannon, Thank you for sharing your dreams. You have a unique writing style, although gory is not my 'thing', I did enjoy the vivid description and details. You said, "That in the future, we will be trained as a normal cultural thing, to die when we are ready, rather than feeling the need to hang on to life like we do now. We see death as a natural, normal and acceptable part of life--a transition rather than a tragedy. I will post these dreams in detail soon." I have watched many family members and friends pass from life to 'beyond life'. In amazement I watched as each one clung to their life like there was nothing beyond. I'm different. I'm already as you described, accepting of the transition. Death does not scare me, I welcome the thought of it sometimes (I'm not suicidal but I do anticipate the next realm of existence). When I was young, I was petrified by the thought of dying. But as I age, given all my life experiences with the realm beyond the veil and my human experiences, I now find myself seeking peace and rest from the anguish of this life. I'm only 43 so I hope I have many years ahead of me but if I found out tomorrow that I had 2 weeks or even 2 days left, I would embrace it just as I've embraced everything in this life with peace and joy in my heart.

I've always been one to stockpile food, supplies, water on a smaller scale but here recently, I've got this nagging feeling in my gut that keeps driving me toward moving to the country, growing my own food, becoming self sustainable and preparing on a much grander scale. Does anyone else get this sense of urgency? [edit] I guess I should have been more clear.... the urgency is increasing as if I have very little time to prepare.

[/quote] No matter how much food you have...you'll always feel the need for more. :-) If you refer back to some of my earlier posts, you'll see where I stress the importance of having a clear and focused mind. I cannot stress enough to 'everyone' how important your mind will play in this upcoming role. Try to procure AT MINIMUM...enough food, water, shelter, etc...for a two (2) week hardship. This will buy your mind enough time to switch from a civilized role...to full survival mode.

"Sense of Urgency" It's been debilitating for a year now. Yesterday I rearranged the top of a closet to make room for more toilet paper. Last week, I reorganized my food supply and rotated my stock. We have an open pantry in the kitchen and I keep a minimal amount there.

Going to the grocery store continues to be hard. I'm fighting the urge to buy at least 10 of everything we use. But I need to procure things gradually so they don't go bad and get wasted, and storage area is an issue in our old house. We've lived here for over 15 years and have kept things in the same general area most of that time. After a day of rearranging I have to show my husband where all the new spots are. He's organized and routine, but thankfully also flexible. I'm even more thankful he understands what's going on with me and believes in my dreams. One dream was validated just 2 days before our wedding when we learned the loading area roof at the train station had collapsed as my future MIL's train was pulling out.

The sense of urgency has not subsided over the past year. My physical/mental state did improve once I got over the shock from not only the content of my dreams, but their sudden return after 9 years of "quiet." However, it flared back up this month, the nagging urgency, the emotions, the numbness and constantly feeling "punch drunk." It's hard to revisit/meditate on these dreams, and I've been doing that more (we all have) since Jade began this thread. Combined with everything else, daughter's wedding, pow-wow, I'm overwhelmed by all I need to get done and my inability to get started, or complete something already started.

But this has happened before. Most things in my life tend to be "bass-ackwards" and I'm going through the mental stupor some will experience in the immediate aftermath. By that time I will be clear minded, and hopefully able to help others work through it. I've always been at my most efficient in an urgency or emergency and won't fall apart until after the dust settles with unforeseen events. With foreseen ones, I do the falling apart thing beforehand.

Jade, I'm confused about the 2 week period you suggest. Is this a "starting point" for those just beginning to prepare? A more manageable time frame to get us focused on immediate needs, before we address the long-term ones?

Please forgive my directness. Your visions are much clearer than the meager information in my dreams. Do you have any impressions of how quickly things will get "bad" within the larger cities after the triggering event, and how long before it spreads to outlying areas? For some, your response may cause panic. I certainly don't want that, but we live in an outlying area. Having a general idea of how quickly civil unrest may spread helps my preparations. With several major waterways between our home and the nearest large city, I'm hoping that may bide us some time, but I may need to alter my plans to exclude this assumption.

If I'm asking this question too soon, please accept my apologies. I understand you can't address my specific area. But even general impressions/information are of value and should be considered. My dreams were so vague and frustrating, and the reason I continue to ask for, and most graciously appreciate, any tidbit with a little more detail from everyone.
