A TROUBLING DREAM LAST NIGHT

I have always bucked the trend.  I have learned to walk against the prevailing winds of the day.

Last night's dream was no different - but it was definitely symbolic of an actual situation.

There were some people at work who were carousing (smoking/drinking/carrying on).  They were working with potentially dangerous things )flammable tanker trucks) - but were not following good protocols.  I decided I had to part company with them and headed one direction while they headed another in a festive/partying spirit.  They had not properly secured their load of tanker trucks as they pulled away with loads of highly flammable fuels including jet fuel, propane, hydrazine, etc.

One valve had not been properly shut and the truck was spewing toxic, flammable liquid everywhere.  One truck had a fuel filler hose bouncing along the pavement sparking.  The posse of 18 wheelers caught up with each other just as one started to ignite.  It caught another one on fire as they both approached the most flammable and explosive truck.  I looked back to see the spectacle - just as the initial pressure wave erupted and started to head towards me.  I knew I had seconds to take cover.  There was only a cement loading dock that I could dive in front of - and hope the pressure wave would go past me as I huddled in the crevice and minimal protection it provided.

I had seen this kind of explosion before - it looked like this:

I awoke with my heart pounding and lay there trying to get back to sleep until I determined I had to write this down.

Definitely symbolic - but it is a portend of the future of some sort.
