19831007.1430

In a dream (after a heavy late supper) early this morning I found myself in a city square or Place which I knew – Trafalgar Square? – from the left side of which shrubbery was cleared away to reveal an unsuspected graveyard – filled with intricate black carvings, this time of devils, but with compassionate eyes. I think that there was a Church beyond. (If we assume for the sake of argument that I was facing North – ) I went to the 'North' side of the graveyard from the 'East' side where I had been (i.e. the 'West' side of the Square) but from there had to hurry up the now sloping way to the 'South' side on a series of earthquake-type shocks. As I reached the 'South' top of this slope I saw bulging fabric ahead – under classical columns? – and someone said that the River North Tyne was about to boil over**. There was a definite feeling that something big and elemental was about to happen.*

**[On September 26, 1983, the nuclear early warning system of the Soviet Union twice reported the launch of American Minuteman intercontinental ballistic missiles from bases in the United States. These missile attack warnings were correctly identified as a false alarm by Stanislav Yevgrafovich Petrov, an officer of the Soviet Air Defence Forces. This decision is seen as having prevented an erroneous data for decision about retaliatory nuclear attack on the United States and its NATO allies, which would have likely resulted in nuclear war and the potential deaths of millions of people. Investigation of the satellite warning system later confirmed that the system had malfunctioned. (Edited from Wikipedia, '1983 Soviet nuclear false alarm incident').
