War and Bad Dreams
Wow -- I gotta tell you that I had an extremely disturbing dream last night. It was the kind that you want to wake up from -- you know it's a dream -- but you can't. It just keeps playing, and you can't get out of it . . .
I dreamed that we (America) launched the war against Iraq, and days into it, N. Korea took advantage of the situation and caught us by surprise. They sent a long-range bomber with a nuclear weapon to Hawaii, and dropped it / them on the big island. I just kept seeing the news reports of, "The Big Island is burning. The entire island is on fire." Very much like the NY tragedy, in terms of what I dreamed the news would be doing.
I just kept thinking that I had to keep my kids from seeing that -- and keep them safe.
Jackson woke me up needing to go to the bathroom. I don't know what is going to happen, but I can tell you that I don't think it will be a good thing. Am I for the war? No -- not now, not this way.
