Bad Astronomy Nightmare

I was just outside watching full Moon rise with my son and suddenly I remembered the Nightmare I had last night.

In the dream I was trying to see the very thin Crescent Moon with my Binoculars.

Already, those in the know, now where the thin crescent Moon is. Right near the Sun!

Well, in last nights dream as I was trying to get the crescent, I was moving the Binoculars around in the area and all of a sudden I saw a brilliant flash and it felt like I got hit in the left eye by a Mack Truck!

Pain! Fear! Sickness in the guts!

I knew instantly that I had just gone blind in the left eye, and immediately awoke in fear!!!!!!

It was so real that even after waking, I felt that I went into shock for a few minutes.

As soon as I realised it was a dream, I tested both my eyes. Yep, all working.

As I was shaking from shock, facts started coming to mind: If I was using Binocs, both eyes would have been fried. Also, they say that you can't feel it when you burn your retinas.

Regardless, it was so real, and scared the wits out of me.

I would hate to have it happen for real!!!
