What To Do If The Nightmare Becomes Reality?
by Todd Walker
I’ve waited all day trying to decide to post this or not. I don’t know what to think. So I’m putting it out there.
Last night I woke up in a panic. “It was only a dream,” I told myself.
The dream was real. But could the terror in my dream materialize? I’m not a mystic or prophetic, but I do believe we should pay attention to dreams … and even nightmares.
It’s unusual for me to remember the details of a dream. In this one, I was horrified. Sweating. Agony. I don’t ever remember utilizing all 5 senses in a dream. Last night I could smell, feel, hear, taste, and see the detailed devastation.
It was a dark night of the soul experience.
TEOTWAWKI happened and I was caught with my pants down. Literally. It was like the scene from Schindler’s List where the Nazis were making their captives run around naked in the yard of the concentration camp. The older, weak, and less “useful” were sent to the furnace. Horrible!
The worst part about it was that I felt responsible somehow. I didn’t do enough.
DRG was ripped from my arms. Terror gripped me because I had no control. I couldn’t fight back the overwhelming numbers and force. “What would happen to our children, grandchildren, and expectant daughter-in-law,” I remember thinking.
Why am I sharing this miserable night? I’m not looking for an interpretation. The meaning is crystal clear to me.
Here’s what I took away from my twilight zone.
A.) Prepare now! You can take it as a warning or write it off as a dream from a crazy mind. Each of us are free to choose. The catch is that we can’t choose the consequences. Redouble your efforts in these areas.
- Self-sufficiency skills. Increase your ability to acquire the basics – water, food, shelter, and security.
- After the basics, begin to build resilience into systems like alternative energy, sustainable gardening/permaculture, and self-employment.
B.) Never give up your ability to defend yourself. Owning modern weaponry keeps the State in check, some what. Giving up your natural right to defend yourself from Enemies, Foreign and Domestic, leads to genocide. History is full of examples of the wholesale mass murder of disarmed subjects. Beware of lethal laws. Are you sure you’re not an enemy of the State? Are you on any lists?
- Here’s a disturbing list of countries that confiscated guns so bully tyrants could go wild.
- The 20th century was the century of Government’s inhumanity to unarmed citizens.
C.) Build a strong relationship with your family, group, community, and God.
- Find ways to add value.
- Exchange value for value within your group and community.
- Establish beneficial bartering relationships locally.
D.) Wake up. Don’t fall for the it-could-never-happen-here doublespeak. Read some history. Our government has engaged in civilian round-ups before… in the name of national security. And we willing traded liberty for security.
- In 1941, President Franklin D. Roosevelt issued Executive Order 9066, which permitted the military to circumvent the constitutional safeguards of American citizens in the name of national defense. Over 120,000 Americans of Japanese decent were forced to leave their homes, livelihoods, and families with the stroke of a pen. About half of these prisoners were children. Source
- President Andrew Jackson signed the The Indian Removal Act of 1830 which forced Native Americans to relocate to Indian Territory west of the Mississippi. It was spun as voluntary, but always remember that government equals force. Over 100,000 people were forced to follow the Trail of Tears. 15,000 died on the journey. Source
We don’t have to have this kind of nightmare to jolt us into action. World events and the poly-ticks are evidence enough to shift your prepping into overdrive.
Was my dream just a nightmare or a premonition?

Hmmm…
After 9/11, I had the same recurring nightmare. Concluded later that my mind was on overdrive with an unfamiliar helplessness. The dailiness of life was hugely interrupted watching videos clips over and over — like after Waco. That day was also the first day of bootcamp for one of my sons. [Rumsfeld infamously called those sailors, The 911 Boys.] I watched government moves with an eagle eye focused on accountability. They had my kid!
The eventual effect of those dreams was to be as creative as possible in solving the problem of surviving disaster — large or small. The dreams motivated me.
The events in Boston yesterday have given me a sickening feeling that a lightly veiled war on the American people is opening up. That’s nightmarish.
We don’t have to be afraid but we can be sober and aware. Lethargy has to go.
Keep the injured parties in Boston in prayer.
