Nuclear Blast - apocalyptic

I came to consciousness in a park. There were nice big trees and grass everywhere. I was with one other person, female I believe, and the sky was slightly grey with a chilled cold misting kind of rain. When out of no where, this gigantic ball of energy blast a few miles away from us. I was looking right in the direction of the blast when it happened and my first instinct was to get out of direct path of the energy wave that i knew was comming. So i scream to the person with me, "AS QUICK AS YOU CAN GET TO THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE LARGEST TREE THAT YOU CAN FIND TO SHIELD YOURSELF FROM THE BLAST". So we both did. The Rain was completely horizontal and now hotter then hell while passing around us as the tree did its job and shielded us from the blast.

For some reason after i have dreams like this, usually the rest of the nights dreams have to deal with finding survivors and creating a new civilization that is corruption free. Also what i have been noticing from these sort of aftermath related dreams is, they seem to last for weeks, perhaps months. Not in real life time, but in dream time. I will notice weeks go by. In one instance. Everything is leveled by the Gods, then in the next instance, there is half ass slums created with people in them.
