My significant other has no interest in forteana nor is she versed in the horrors of nuclear war and its aftermath (having spent a childhood of blissful ignorance during the Reagan/Thatcher era and the TV portrayal of the impending threat, i.e., "Threads" "The Day After" etc.)
She has, however, of late had awful dreams of being in what can only be a post-nuclear war scenario without putting that label on it herself.
She has had vivid dreams of "night turning to day in a blinding flash" and subsequently wandering through deserted landscapes dominated by the skeletal superstructures of buildings, of having skin peeling off her face, of seeking shelter in deserted houses and of being "very sick". :eek!!!!: I find the whole thing disconcerting in that she couldn't imagine what might explain the dream scenario until I versed her in the after effects of a nuclear explosion.
The only solace I take is in that:
1. perhaps she did see all of those horrible TV portrayals of the nuclear winter and repressed them completely, and in that
2. one of the dreams featured the cast of "Friends"...
