nuclear bombs and pirate ships

mayoraaseiI wonder if it's normal that about 90% of the dreams I remember involves either WMD (weapons of mass destruction) or someone trying to not get killed or both.....
It must have been me playing too much Virtual Villagers, too ==;
Last Thursday I had this dream where the north side of the harbour bridge was getting seiged by a ship armed with cannons. Apparently they were French, don't ask.
I was on the train at Milson's Point, and we were the last train allowed through (to the south) before "negotiations" began. I remember it was a cloudy day and an empty bridge and a very silent harbour with one large ship a short distance away from the bridge.
When we got to Wynyard or Town Hall or wherever it was - since it didn't look like anywhere I recognised - and as soon as we got off the train we were ushered onto a coach (bus). The coach swerved dangerously through really narrow streets - which were eerily quiet - and circled around trying to lose a tailing vehicle. It then turned sharply, nearly tipping over, into a one-lane street that wound up into the mountains. It was cold enough to be foggy, and the visibility was about 10m. The upward road was almost entirely obscured.
Somehow or other, we ended up on a secluded island or lagoon-like place. Then the dream went post-mod, with the end shown before the act ==; Apparently we had to get on a ship - which had no name or markings - that would enter a bay in the east of this island, and would only be there for a few hours during the dead of the night. It was somehow vital to stop nuclear bombs being released.
But the strip of land near the coast, about half a kilometre's width, is owned by the indigenous people, and typically they don't let foreigners (including us) trespass on their land. We try to sneak to the coast to a vantage point where we can see the ship arriving. There is a white foreigner who for whatever reason wants to stop us, and he seemed pretty chummy with the tribe leader.
We convinced the tribe leader to talk to us, and in a theatrically impassioned voice, we appealed that if he didn't help us, it would not only mean an end to his island, but also to the world. As per Hollywood, he was swiftly moved by our sincerity and convinced of our tales of impending doom, so he ordered all his tribe members to help us keep a look out for the ship.
The white foreigner decided to kill us himself. Somehow knowing this, we snuck out of the indigenous houses, which are raised about three metres above ground, and we hid under the houses in the long yellow grass until he was gone, before heading towards the coast.
...Presumably we did get on the ship because the dream ended there.
...Though only a week earlier I had another dream consisting of helicopters bombing Manly Beach. At first people thought it was a military drill, and then realised it wasn't because things were actually exploding. All the public transport stopped and we had to walk home. From the city. Joy.
