I wander coast to coast, awing, with friends like me, were-birds; I love, am loved as crane or man. But human wizards loosed a plague so dire that the sole and brutal cure is radiation's sear. We must set off two atom bombs. And we're only waterbirds, not engineers-- we have no more than mere short fuses. Light the first, and fly falcon-frantic. At the flash bone shone. Cat-slashed in every cell, a moth burnt deeper than feather or flesh by flame alone. The second time, I'm in a grassy dell where a Stonehenge ring elephantly looms. I swoop and hide in dolmen gloom. The flash rebounds off monoliths around my stone Godzilla shin. Knifes in. At least the line-of-sight radiation's blocked. Reflected, hellish rays kill plague: I'll live. Oh, sick for days, but what alternative? Though the dream predicted future love, travel, transformation, flight... fallout isn't fun. But this swift-spreading Human Flu is death to us birds too. A true Panzoic. Had to be done.

• Killer 'human flu' affects bird-people so we nuke the humans: Well, humans feared bird flu, so they slaughtered a zillion birds...
• Sterilizing flash: I've been feverish; my dreams think it's a necessary fever/inflammation as my body fights off an infection.
• ACTION: Rest up! I'm not just stressed out, but sick. Sigh!
• A crane: uh... unsure. I am tall and skinny, but I can't fly...
• Hide in Stonehenge: Maybe druidism, magic... dreamwork? Heeding dream-warnings during plague time?
• Setting off nukes: My dream thinks stopping Covid will need harsher measures that conservatives so far reject.
• Two bombs cause immediate radiation sickness but sterilize plague: immunization! Expect early vaccines to require two shots, and assume I'll get sick from each.
• ACTION: get the shots soon as I can, even if they sicken me. I'm vulnerable; Covid would be even worse.

When I dreamed this last June, vaccines were just a hazy goal; details unknown. In early February 2021, I got my first dose of Moderna vaccine. I had very strong flu-like reactions to it, and to the followup shot in March--as the dream had warned.
