I know that God is warning of nuclear war on a more generally scale too. Here is why:

A few days before my dream, (which occurred on the last day of United Nations Week), my wife and I suddenly went out and rented a house at a place called Edgar, Ont. (We signed the agreement to rent the house on the afternoon of Oct. 23, 2003.) As it turned out, this wee little town was the site of a radar defense system shutdown 40 years ago as part of NORAD. The station was part of a defense system to warn of possible nuclear attack by the Russians. Today, especially after 9/11, NORAD protects North America from any attack generally. [Here is the NORAD website.] In the same way, the threat of nuclear bombs ("dirty bombs"?) from any source, such as from terrorists, rather than just by the Russians, seems to be what the Lord is saying. Nor does this calamity have to happen, but if we who are called by His name repent and pray, it can be avoided; "The lease is not in stone," the Lord said.

God often speaks to me through the mundane events of life. Wisely He does this so that I will not forget His words to me. God is warning of a coming nuclear attack of some sort. I am to give warning of this coming attack just as this radar station once did.

UPDATE:
(When we began our move, the moving company building where we rented the moving truck blew up like an atomic bomb.)

A 3½-year period is an important biblical time frame, (see Daniel 12, and Revelation 11-13 for examples.) The period can be seen as either 1260 or 1290 days or 3½-years on the Jewish calendar. From the time the hand-code appeared unto when we took possession of the house was 3½-years of the Jewish calendar---almost to the minute. However, we did not actually move in until Dec. 20, 2003, which was 1290 days from when the hand-code was seen, (Pentecost, 2000). (Hanukkah means 'Dedication' and is the anniversary of the dedication of the temple after it was desecrated by Antiochus Epiphanies. Thus, I will always remember that the day I dedicated my new place was also Hanukah---the dedication of the house of God.)

As I was I awaiting the truck to come and move us (it was being picked up in Toronto by my brother), I felt the spirit of prophecy come upon me. I felt that the Lord willed to mark this important day by some event. That was at 11 a.m. At 11:30 a.m. I was to meet with my brother to begin our move. As it turned out, we were delayed, and began our move about 12:30 noon. As we found out later, the place where we rented the truck sprung a gas leak at 11:30 a.m. and then suddenly at 12:30 noon the place blew up in a great ball of fire with a huge plume of ascending smoke. (The story is on page 5 in the Toronto Sun paper.) Hence, the blast resembled a small nuclear bomb, with the fire ball and huge plume of smoke. Because there was warning, the firemen were on the scene when it blew. The newspaper said that the gas "screamed" for an hour before it blew up in the face of the one trying to seal it off. Four men had their faces and hands burned, but graciously, none severely. In the book of Ezekiel, '4' is the number of "everywhere," as in, the four corners of the earth. God is warning that atomic blasts are coming that threaten North to South, and East to West.

Further that same day, as the truck was in route back to Toronto, the San Francisco blackout occurred, (9 p.m. EST, 6 p.m. local). One-third the city was blacked out, caused by a fire. (Ironically, Hanukkah is also called "the festival of lights," which lasts 1 + 7 days.) The blackout repeated itself again 6 hours later. The power came on the next morning. Thus the power went out on the two reference points that begin a new day---(6 p.m. Jewish reckoning and midnight on our western calendar). Importantly, the day highlighted---Dec. 21---was the darkest day of the year.
