Hi Mary – \u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/span>I think you\u2019ve definitely been bitten by the Y2K (Year 2000) bug. The question, of course, is how much disruption this \u201ctime bomb\u201d is going to cause.<\/p>\n

<\/span>I think everyone agrees that we are going to experience some level of inconvenience as we role into the year 2000. Gas pumps may not work, automated bank tellers may shut down for a week or so, and we may even have some disruption in the operation of trains, airlines, and financial markets. \u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/span>According to some experts, though, the biggest unknown variable isn\u2019t how machines and computers will react – it\u2019s how people will react. Will people panic, hoard food and supplies, and start to believe that it\u2019s the end of the world? If so, we\u2019re all in for more headache – and danger – than really is warranted. If we all keep calm and remember to be extra extra patient for a few weeks – as we let our excellent technical workers in this country fix the trouble spots as fast as they can – then we\u2019re all going to be better off.<\/p>\n

<\/span>People who believe in \u201cend of the world\u201d scenarios tend to be unhappy in their current lives. For unhappy people, any type of change, even a destructive change, offers the hope of a better life. Warnings about Y2K should be listened to carefully and preparations should be made – but I think anyone who suggests that Y2K is going to be the \u201cend of the world\u201d really is contributing to the problem – by promoting panic – rather than helping to solve it. \u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/span>Your dream, as you suggest, is a representation of your own Y2K fears – what you may have heard at home, in your classroom, among your friends, or on television. The setting sun symbolizes the end of the world, while the blue grey buildings appear to indicate the coming of night – the unknown darkness that will follow the \u201cend of the world.\u201d But did you notice how, even in your own dream, the sun refused to set? Don\u2019t be fooled by the doomsayers, Mary. You\u2019re going to live to a ripe old age, and Y2K is just going to be momentary \u201cblip\u201d on your radar screen.<\/span><\/p>\n
