Thad from Vermont wrote us with this scary future vision. Let’s hope it was only a dream.
“I had a dream that seriously creeped me out about 2 weeks ago. I had been listening to a late night radio show about the paranormal that I had saved to my iPod. It was early in the evening and I wanted to chill out before work. I work nights. Anyway, a caller was ranting and raving about 2012. I didn’t know what he was talking about at first. I thought maybe it was like 5150 or something, but I found out that he actually meant the year 2012.
I guess that the Mayan calendar has the end of the world marked as 2012, like the End-Times or Revelation. This guy was from Santa Cruz, California and said that 2012 was going to bring disaster for America. He was telling people to buy real estate in the mountains, because the only things left standing would be mountaintops floating like islands after the climate change. He said that 2012 will bring a reversal of the poles, so that the magnetic north will continue to veer off course until it is in the south. This would mean solar flares and devastating earthquakes and floods.
At first I thought this guy was just a crank. I mean, you can’t take the stuff on the radio all too seriously. But he was very intense and had very detailed descriptions of what was going to happen. He’s part of a group that is relocating to a village in South Africa to wait for the end of the world in 2012. They plan to repopulate Earth and are taking all kinds of things with them to help rebuild Society.
I was pretty disturbed to hear all of that and must have turned off the iPod. The next thing I remember is that I must have drifted off and had what they call a Lucid Dream. I was aware of what was happening in my dream as though I was awake, but I wasn’t really able to control it.
I was in this post-apocalyptic 2012 future living on a mountaintop commune in a bunker blasted into the mountainside. There were only about 40 men and women, more women than men, and a handful of children. Most of the women were pregnant. We had no communication with the outside world, and we were fighting for the resources we had left. I don’t know exactly how we had gotten there, but I knew that we were the last humans alive on Earth. It was the most horrifying dream I’ve ever had. The pain of knowing that we had to survive if we wanted the species (and I guess the planet) to survive was terrible, especially when we were fighting each other. It felt like a weird cult, like Bible camp from hell. The guy in charge treated us all like children, and we felt like the handful of people around us were the only living beings in the Universe, which I guess was maybe the case. I tried to wake myself up out of the dream but couldn’t.
When I finally did wake up, I saw that I had really overslept and was totally late for my shift. The weirdest part was that the clock said 10:12 p.m. [sic; 8:12--Ed.]. I about freaked out when I realized that that was 20:12 in military time.”

I suppose you must have meant 8:12pm, as 10:12pm is 22:12 in military time.

Kalik – Good catch. This story was transcribed as-is from the submitter and we missed it. I’ll add a note. Thanks for reading!

i can somewhat relate to this story!
these past few weeks iv been having these really vivid dreams about tsunamis and general devastation in places near where i live.
there was also a night when i was just going to sleep after playing the xbox, it was about 04.00
and i lay down to drift off but before i coukld there was this really weird noise coming from outside my window.
i couldnt explain it, it just kept moving from the roof to my window to the other window. It wasnt a bird because iv never heard anyhting like this and my mum came in and thought that it was me still playing the xbox, but everything was turned off. She asked me with a worried look what i was doing then the noise came again from outside my window. She looked over to it as i said it wasn’t me. We bith sort of got in a panic as u can imagine. However the noise left shortly after she arrived in my room. The strange thing was she and my step dad went out to investigate and i was to scared to even peek out the window but i gave it a go and they said that it was so bright outside when they first looked out the window like as if the sun was dawning but within a few minutes it became dark again. I began having these dreams the night before and have ever since about these world devastaions its strange and i would like it to be explained if anyone is offering and im still pretty freaked out about it even writing this freaks me out. I apoligise if none of this sounds believeable but everything i have written is factual.
