I no longer have this dream. I haven't had it in a couple of decades, but I used to have it regularly as a child. I can't tell you how often. I don't know if it was a few times a week, once a week or every other week, but I can tell you I had it A LOT. It's exactly the same every time.

I am walking down the street on the sidewalk on my way to school. The block looks exactly like it does in real life. Same houses, same front yards. As I'm passing the front yards I get to one house in particular. It's the same house and front yard every time. When I get to this front yard I notice a bomb. (This is where it's kind of funny. At the age I was having this dream, about 5-10, the only bombs I had ever seen were the ones in looney tunes and the mad magazine spy vs spy comics) So, the bomb looks like a bowling ball with a fuse. The fuse is lit and burning getting closer and closer to the bomb. At this point I become completely terrified and stop, start screaming and crying and pointing at the bomb, because I know it's about to explode and kill me.

Even though, it is about to explode, I am too frightened to move. I know since it is about to explode that even if I ran it would still hit and kill me, anyway. But that's not why I don't run, I am too scared to move. I always woke up before the bomb went off, but when I woke up I would be terrified screaming, crying, and inconsolable. A few minutes would pass and I would realize it was just a dream and not real life, but I am still so disturbed and terrified that I would continue sobbing for quite awhile. This dream "did something" to me so even after I was awake and fully aware it was a dream, I was still hysterical.

The dream stopped happening around 10 years old and I have never had it since, but I will never forget it since I had it a million times and the profound effect and sheer terror it had over me even after I awoke.

Any thoughts?
