Many years ago I had a dream..I was outside with my dad and I happened to be looking at a wooden fence. As I stared at it, I saw a ray of light light shining on it and it began to smoke. I looked up and the sun looked odd, not to mention bigger than ever before. It was a red-orange and its intensity caused the air everywhere to shimmer. Instantly I could feel the heat and I could literally feel my skin burning. I knew this was a solar flare that somehow penetrated the ozone layer. Looking around in horror, everything wooden and organic began bursting in flame like some unnatural wildfire. I knew I could not save my mom and sister because they were inside the house, which happened to be wooden. I screamed for my dad, but he decided that the safest place was in the water shed (also surrounded by a wooden fence). Heated winds began to pick up and the pain was unbearable. As I was in mid-thought, a huge gust picked me up and sent be flying towards burning brush. My skin caught fire and I screamed.

I cannot tell you when the solar flare happened or how to protect yourself in case one does happen. All I know is that the dream was very real and we should all be careful.
