It's so weird, I also had an apocalypse dream recently but mine was last night/early this morning. In my dream it was a fiery apocalypse- and it wasn't just Earth but our entire solar system! As I was trying to escape the flames and chaos (and there was NO place to go that was safe) the other planets were moving so close to Earth that everyone could see them in the sky. The planets were all engulfed in flames and some even appeared to be melting! Scary shit but very interesting- and colorful to boot!
As an American it's your responsibility to have your own strategic duck stockpile. You can't expect the government to do it for you.
