(First dream I can recall in many a week.)
I was with a large group of people, hundreds, if not thousands. We were in shirtsleeves so warmer weather. Under the impression it was the end of the workday and we were leaving work and heading home, all towards some underground tunnels. (Reminded me of the underground train station in Chicago, but trains were not a part of this dream, and Chicago was not the setting). At some point we were prodded into the tunnels and told we had to go there and stay there for awhile. There were buildings underground, with windows looking out into the tunnel. We were told that the government was going to preactively set off nuclear devices in the tunnel, somehow to preempt a terrorist strike, and we needed to stay in the buildings and in the tunnels for now. We attempted to close and seal off the windows, but many of the panes had gaps. We could see the bomb(s) go off and smoke rise (didn't really look like a nuclear cloud), so we protected ourselves as best we could, crouching under desks and pulling fabric over our faces. I did not feel any concussion from the bomb, but we were concerned about radiation. Surprisingly, we just accepted our fate; we were a bit fearful but not excessively so. After waiting for awhile, perhaps a few hours, we were told we could leave. I walked towards the tunnel exit, which was still sealed, and hundreds were gathered there waiting for the exit to open. I noticed the air seemed much clearer there as I waited for the others.
