I have a couple of recurring dream symbols you may have too. It took me years to realize that I dreamed of nuclear war without any correlation to world politics--but there was always a big crisis, or a fear of one, in my own life. If someone I loved was furious with me, that, to my dreams, was as bad as the end of the world!

On the other hand, dreaming of radioactive contamination or fallout from a powerplant meltdown or the like, correlated with something quite different--with HEALTH fallout. Like an allergic reaction to something I ate, or a hangover, or aches from severe overworking, or an illness brought on by stress or lack of sleep. I'm a creature of now, not the future--so scary images of fallout, superficially indetectable, slow, but potentially deadly, were a way my dreams could warn me to link seemingly harmless behavior to its longer-term fallout.

So... if you dream your drink or your burger or your home or lover is radioactive, your dreams may be are saying that it IS. Or might as well be, for you.
