On one of the nights between Hiroshima Day and Nagasaki Day (Aug 6-9) this week, I had a peculiar dream about a mushroom cloud, the kind that's entered the collective consciousness to depict the detonation of an atomic bomb. The peculiar thing about it though was that it was about a cloud over Melbourne, and that it was growing 'straight up' in the 'normal' way, but then it started to 'tip' and gradually changed its direction to moving along the horizon, like a floating 'O'. As if somehow the prevailing wind was blowing it off course, which isn't what usually happens is it? Odd. Dreams are fun (^_^)
