Also, I heard Anzio was maybe a tactical error, but I didn't studied enough to say this.

I used to be a fairly good lucid dreamer until around 8 years ago, and then I hit a long run of depression and was on meds and have never been able to do it since. One of the last such dreams I had, I was at a party and there were dream figures along with a sad old guy who was leaving. I was looking at the throng, just another partygoer, and this song started playing and I watched the sad guy shuffle past. It was clear that the song was directed at him. At the time I had no idea that this person was me, that some part of my subconscious understood that my run was about over and wanted to say so. I've always been convinced those dreams gave me insights. There was no other way to interpret that. I'm not where I once was, but 2022 treated me well and I've improved a lot. Someday I'll dream again like I did in the past and get back to that party. Someday.

@@paul2019. I think for me the medications did more to block dreaming than the depression, although the depression certainly messes up your sleep patterns. SSRI's in particular and to be open about it, the self-medicating too, absolutely obliterated any deep thoughts or dreams good or bad. Which sometimes if you're in bad shape, that's what gets you by. But it comes at a heavy price and I wouldn't have gone down that road knowing what I know now. I would have looked at lifestyle changes first and culling people from my life who weren't on my team.

People are out there commenting on how this has something to do with the apocalypse or horrors beyond our comprehension, but I'd beg to differ, war is already horrifying enough that this song describes it somewhat perfectly, picture this: You are covered in scars among your comrades in the trenches. They're joking around to alleviate the mood. One of them approaches you and starts talking to you. You hear him say something about "us winning the war" and "having it in the bag". You hear whistling. Non-human whistling, you already know that you're dead. The whistling gets deeper and deeper in pitch, everyone's already running for cover. You haven't moved an inch, you have already accepted your fate. The guy talking to you grabs you by a strap and leads an unwilling you to cover. He throws you inside a trench-bunker. He's too late, you survived, but you see his body getting blown to pieces just outside the entrance by artillery. Blood is scattered upon your face and guts are visible just inside the bunker. You lay on the floor and start thinking to yourself: "Why did I ever enlist?" The explosions stop. You go outside to the sight of corpses everywhere, guts too. There were only a few survivors scattered through the trenches, many of them shell-shocked or with some of their limbs broken/cut off. You can see some officers going outside from their bunkers. One of the victims of the shelling asks you what hour it is before giving away to the light. You decide to peek over the trench, it's silent. A bullet flies over your head, knocking off your unstrapped helmet. "Fuck." you say, while quickly retreating to cover. You peek once again, this time to see a a grey mist on the horizon. The whistling wasn't over. Edit: Hello people, it's been 6 months since I had written this, I completely forgot it existed, but after checking in on my notifications and seeing "@skylerbenton8537" 's comment, I decided to check up on this, and I have been re-reading some of the replies telling me that I should be an author or something along those lines. To those people, and to whoever comes, thank you so very much, I truly don't deserve this. I am eternally grateful. May the Lord above bless your souls. Edit No. 2: I am planning on writing a book similar to Erich Maria's "Im Westen Nichts Neues" and Ernst Jünger's "In Stahlgewittern", except with a hidden connotation behind it. I will also probably record myself narrating this short piece of text and perhaps my book and publish both wherever (be it on KZbin or someplace else), though it also will depend on whether or not I think my voice is adequate for such a thing.

Also how to avoid nuclear fallout and how to make a makeshift shelter. That said, I'm a lot more worried about modern times than I ever was about the Cold War. The Cold War was abstract. What's going on now is right up front, less controlled, and it is easy to see several scenarios where a billion people wind up dead. Nukes are in more hands now than back then, and you don't need a nuclear war to get a lot of people dead.

The quakes have leveled everything. You have no way to confirm if the other countries have been hit by the quakes as well.

A vintage gramophone sits on the rubble, somehow untouched by the chaos that has befallen the city mere hours ago. You sit beside it and listen. The is song unusually slow. You realize you have been holding back your emotions until now. As you sit and weep, a rushing noise makes you look up. The nearby water canal is receding. Very quickly. You look to the beach the city once sat next to. It's receding as well. You try to remember what that meant, but in the end you don't need too. A massive wave heads towards land. As it reaches the beach it towers over the few ruined high rises still standing. You won't survive that. Nothing here will. As the wave blasts through the rubble and rushes inland, you sit still and listen as the song finishes. All you can do is let out one final scream as the wave reaches you.

"Their cries for mercy echoed in your head like the screams of the unbaptized as broken glass and ash crunch underfoot. The clouds are darker than normal, and it's getting colder. As you cautiously seek refuge and respite from the cold world and cruel thoughts, a song begins to play. Someone, one of the very few left alive, must have made their way to what's left of the city center and turned on the public announcement system. It seemed foolish to you at first, but almost immediately you find yourself miles away, surrounded by life and happiness. Fleeting memories of smiles and warmth race through your mind. Someone, some mad psycho, risked it all to play one song. "How'd they even know it would work after all this?" you asked yourself through tears, before realizing it didn't matter. You were brought back to life, a life before, even if just for a moment..."

My gran used to sometimes sing this song whenever I visited her. It's very familiar to me, & she had a nice voice. She grew up in a port town with lots of military people in it during WWII. This song definitely had a major impact on her if she sang it unprompted 50+ years later. It's a pity she was a ⚪️ soup insist.

It's been two weeks since we evacuated civilians. Every radio station is playing this song on loop. Guess the chaps wanted to send us off with something to listen to. I can hear the damn gunfire getting closer to the Thames every day. We got word they just crossed into Mitcham last night. Word is that Slough has become a ruin. Probably an improvement, if I'm honest. I'm hoping one of these days that I can wake up from this nightmare, go back home, see my girl. Those days are long over. And this damn song. It echoes through the abandoned streets and our makeshift fortifications like it's a cavern. It's driving me insane. Nothing to take my mind off it either. Pubs are empty, that's the first thing the stragglers looted. The bombed out homes got nothin' either. Only thing we get are these shitty rations. Higher-ups tell us it's to preserve food. I think they're hoarding the good stuff. But throughout it all, that song remains the only constant. Time to get back to stacking rubble.

[@TheRealFrenchyFry]

POV: The war is over. It has been for 5 months. Today every remaining soldier was going back to the battlefield. In honor of those who passed. The whole place had been bombed. And was now a huge ditch. You (a surviving soldier) approach the ditch with your lovers hand in yours. Both of you fought together. You lost your closest friend to the war. Along with many others. Tears fill the dead grass while you and your fellow soldiers look at the remains of your horrific experiences. You wonder to yourself why you showed up. And why you were lucky enough to survive. Your scars daily reminders of your near death experience. How did you live? You suddenly hear something in the distance. Coming right from the ditch. It’s as if it’s calling to you. The other soldiers notice too. You all walk closer in a trance. A sound you’ve heard before. An old radio. Still playing your song. The song you won the war listening to. But it’s a radio? No radio plays this song anymore. No one wants to keep those memories. You look into the ditch as the music gets more distorted. As the last note of the battle anthem ends, the radio shuts off. The sign you were all looking for. The reason you lived. You promised to meet again. And you did. And so you will meet your other soldiers. For they have been waiting for you.

[@caeruleusisblue]

I think I’d find this song in a ruined city that I’ve just past through after my side has bombed it, like this is the scenario I’ve imagined up: It was supposed to be a clear day. But instead of the sun, it seemed that it was hiding behind the clouds of ash as though it was unwilling to give such undeserving and sad people below its holy appearance of light. I held my head down and closed my eyes as the vehicle carrying me and my comrades clattered through the streets, swerving around rubble and hitting holes in the ground that couldn’t be avoided. Some new soldiers chatted somehow happily in the truck, as though bombing a city had no effect of them at all, it wasn’t their fault though, they hadn’t seen the worst of what wars could throw at you and soon enough the life would bleed out their eyes soon enough as the shells flew above their heads enough times to make a man go nuts from the sound, along with the splatters of guts and bloods and the screams of your friends. Everyone says that we’re the good people, the good side, the liberators, but I believe that no one is truly good in the cursed world. After all, there are no angels in war. Our setting here came from an earlier raid, the orders sinister as our commander ordered us to target people’s houses first above anything else. He said that it was so that the enemy side wouldn’t have as many civilians to help with the war effort in factories and such. I would protest but I cannot as I am only a low ranking officer and I do not want to lose my life just yet. I turned around to look over my shoulder as the once beautiful building that stood proud on the edges of the once perfect cobble road, looked like a mess of bricks, charred wood and stone. Some fires from last night still lived on, feeding on oxygen, wood and even people. My stomach twisted as I saw an elderly woman cry over what looked like a young boy. I don’t know what he looked like though, as there wasn’t a head to look at any more, just some charred meat that showed the teeth and a crushed right hand that was pulled out of the rubble. As I stared unmoving at the corpse, the elderly woman had sensed me looking over and glared at me with the most hatred that I’d ever received in my life. She held the young boy close to her and continued glaring at me until the corner blocked her from our view. I turned back, what did I expect though? A smile, a pat on the back? Like gee, thanks for bombing our city, this child is dead now but it’s not your fault? I am an idiot. Stupid. I closed my eyes once again only to hear an echoing tune echo through the street. This song, it was my mothers favourite back home. My heart wrenched as I thought of her, was she alright? The song continued to echo through the empty streets and I turned back into the van and clutched my gun in my hand more. I just couldn’t wait to get out of this war. Because this war is hell. (Phew that took I shit load to time to finish. Hope you liked it, I’m not really sure if I’m a good writer or not but I hope u enjoyed it :)))))

This song plays, after the ending of the war. You look at yourself, I’m a broken mirror. Your the last person in earth. One soldier. The cities are all empty. Oddly clean though. It feels as if the cities are in a movie set. The only thing keeping you company are try screams of sirens captured by those things. Those things… they leave me an odd feeling. What are they? Are they humans? Are they hunting me? But still yet, I continue to keep hearing this song from radio stations as ironies put on loop. At times, it will loop with a slow and deep pitch, echoing through the cities and piercing the fog. It’s like I’m being watched though, but now no one is here. Cars, trash, and even dead bodies are no where to be seen. What happened to them? Where am I? Who are you? Who am I!

When i hear this i think of being in a destroyed city, building, or just in the backrooms and just being able to hear this song and know where it is but whenever you go to it you can never reach it so after a long time of trying to chase it you stop to go find other people but you just continue to hear this song. After a while you start to go hungry and thirsty still hearing the song but after a long time you can never find food or water so you just sit down listening to the song play behind you while you look out at a sunset, or a long hallway until you try and go to sleep and realize you cant so you just live like this for what seems like years awaiting for something to happen but nothing ever comes. Anyway thats what i call hell.

This reminds me of a reoccurring dream I have, and that I had recently because I just had a bad fever. It has different ways of manifesting itself, but I've had this type of dream by whole life. It usually manifests itself as some kind of feeling of existential dread, and of having to accept the fact that something big is happening and that the end of everything, even existence itself, is happening and nobody can stop it. My recent encounter of this dream was manifested slightly differently, with a bunch of people or creatures (however controlled by normal people like us) occupying up a bunch of space in some kind of retro game, and I was with people that were taking up huge amounts of living space, which is where they will live for an eternity. However, I was with someone else and eventually I accidentally occupied a tiny space, and, crammed up in that tiny square of space, I realised that this is where I'd be for eternity. For the rest of time. With nothing to do, nobody to talk to, just crammed up in a tiny little space, unable to move.

[@unrecognizable7981]

The juxtaposition from where we are to back then.

The sun was shining as bright as ever, birds were singing a cheery noice tune in the tree branches, and fresh cool breeze of the morning gently passes our skin. We sit there on the grass looking at the sunrise enjoying the fine scenery that's displayed in front of us. Casually talking about random topic that would come into mind. Laughing at jokes that was already told once before that now has been repeated for the nostalgic humor. The two of us enjoying a cup of coffee, while the other one was enjoying a cup of warm milk, telling us that it's a much better alternative than coffee. Before I would certainly argue back that coffee is better, but I've long since passed doing that. I enjoy a bit more of the pleasant silence of the morning with my two best friends. How lovely the mornings can be. *BANG* One of my best friends collapsed to the ground with a bullet on his head. While the other is screaming on the top of her lungs, crying, yelling, begging that this isn't real. I on the other hand remained calm and silent, not even flinching from the sound of gun shot. *BANG BANG* Two new gun shots were fired, my other best friend has dropped on the ground, no longer moving. I stay still, silently sitting there taking a sip of my coffee. It's futile to struggle anymore. Now I sit there, alone, still sipping my coffee. As I wait for my turn to get shot and die like my two best friends. it's been years since I stopped trying to change our fate. I've seen this scene many times before. I know once I wake up again in my bed, exactly at 5:30 AM, the same song on my alarm will sing. The once song I used to love, now its something that reminds me of how many times I've watched my friends and I die, over, and over, and over, and over again. I've probably already gone insane by now. Maybe my mind is already broken. Whatever it is I know one thing, I'm still glad I still get to see both of my best friends, even if they both die by the end of this. I sing along to the tune on my alarm as I prepare my coffee, and meet up with my two best friends again. I sing as cheery as I can, changing the lyrics slightly, as if nothing is wrong. If this is hell, I don't think I ever want this to stop, cuz if it stops I won't be able to see those two ever again. "We'll meet again" "I know where, I know when" "Yeah, I know we'll meet again" "This sunny day"

I once had a dream that I was in trench warfare. There isn't much I can remember from the dream. I just remember wearing a french uniform from ww1. I remember that we went over the top in a charge then I just woke up half buried in the mud, under a fence post with barbed wire on it leaning on me, and all I had left was an arm and a leg. I kinda got a sorta paralysis which made make serious effort to move, and I ended up lurching up ,waking from the dream, and my bed frame was where the fence post was. It was pretty interesting.
