I though leaders were cool headed and rational, that they would never destroy the world.
Then I learned about Cuban Missile Crisis with Vasily Arkhipov, and the radar false alarm invident with Stanislav Petrov, amongst many more “close call” incidents. Our world almost died.
I mean like: If the many-worlds theory is true, there are probably some universes where WW3 happend and most of life is dead. Probably every 9 out of 10 universes, we died. We are alive because of luck. (I mean, we wont exist to be able to perceive a dead universe anyways).
But that can happen again. Its not over.
The “Doomsday Clock” is a prediction by scientists of existential risk to humanity, and these scientists are predicting an even more tense doomsday risk than ever before, even more so than the height of the Cold War.
(I actually had a dream/nightmare of see a nuke go off outside my window. Maybe its a vision of another timeline, or the future… 🤷♂️)
Sometimes when I hear a plane fly over head I pause and wonder if this is the end. Or if things get too quiet I wonder if I am about to be swept away in the fallout of a huge explosion.
Lol, I sometimes have network issues, then I wonder if russia (I live in the US, for context) has their putin raging for some reason and decided to nuke us for the lols. I mean, when a nuclear war happens, network disruptions usually happena right before. So I check the news, reddit, make sure I didn’t miss any emergency alerts, then I realize its just a normal internet issue.
Sometimes I hear emergency sirens for no reason for an extended period of time, and I wonder if theres been some sort of attack, whether a terrorist bombing, or a nuke exploding in a nearby city, I google it, oh its just some police chase. Idk why I’m always overreacting.
Mine was that: I was on my phone, my phone goes blackscreen, then I look up, lights flicker a bit and turn off, I look at my laptop, and it also dies 2 second later after flickering, then I look outside my window, a huge mushroom cloud, then I wake up. And I woke up with like panic and heartrate so fast…
Honestly, maybe my brain is trying to tell me to write a story about nukes.
Nuclear War.

You should check out the book “Recursion” by Black Crouch. Probably won’t help with your nightmares though
