An early dream

Mid 1970s 

My best friend and I had some kind of special job.  There had been a disaster, and the social fabric of the country had disintegrated.  There wasn’t a government anymore and it was sort of like what you would think of from Post Apocalyptic movies like Mad Max, though these were still years in the future when I had the dream.  We had on some kind of special armor (now you’d recognize it as something from a science fiction show or video game -- a mechanized suit of some sort) and we got the people into lines.  Even now, many years later, I can remember the looks of worry and helplessness on the faces of the people.  I hated seeing them like that.  I tried to cheer them up when I could.  We were going to take them to a new place where they would be safer.  I believe we were leaving Florida.  We had to walk because transportation didn’t work anymore.  Our job was to lead them and keep them safe until they arrived where they were going. 

Date uncertain but most likely 1974-5.

I don't know what it means, but I have read others to have had similar dreams or visions.  I wish I could find some of them now to compare.
