We did the drills for fire and tornados, as a kid in 70’s and 80’s. We didn’t do them for earthquakes though. Or for nuclear war.

I do remember though, that all the way until about 30- I had dreams about nuclear war, and I was always in my little private school classroom, where I had spend most of my life, when the bomb ultimately hit. Probably bc the movies and stuff they made in the 80’s seeped a little too deep into my psyche.

I had a dream the other night that we got bombed, as in us in our house. Not a nuke, but a bomb that would destroy us just the same. I knew it wouldn’t help, but I was trying to usher 4 of us into a tiny little closet.

Think this dream was for two reasons: 1) the state of the world today, and 2) our house, in the middle of nowhere, is directly under a flight lane, and a couple of times lately there have been much larger than usual planes flying overhead, and they sound even lower than the puddle jumpers.

But yea- it’s all prime conditioning. For the first time ever I’ve been thinking about how much of that was even true
