A few days back, I was watching the desi channel with one of my uncles. As we watched news of horrific floodings in Pakistan, my uncle said: "Kiya tabahii aayi hai." I irresponsibly commented: "Such country deserves to be drowned."
That night I dreamt that my hometown in America is in flood, and our local community is trying to put sandbags. Despite their warning, I drove my car - with my two kids in it - into standing water, and now my car is submerged into standing water. As I can see the sky from my sunroof, I try to open it, but now all doors are locked. I see myself freaking out and panicking. Fear was so intense; I woke up from the dream with sweats and a heartbeat going into atrial fibrillation. Suddenly, I recalled my irresponsible comment.
I sat on the bedside, drank a glass of water, and sincerely asked for forgiveness from all mighty. I felt some peace in my heart, went to bed, and slept for ten more hours.

I am glad you realized your fault and asked for forgiveness from Allah SWT. I feel the same way sometimes about Pakistan but soon I know my kith and kin are there and
"apna hay phir bhi apna"
So I refrain from such thoughts.
I don't know how can you say that someone deserves something horrible unless that someone is pure evil. Common man is usually clueless about state of government anyway.
I also do not understand how can you sleep for 10 hours, doctor. That is something:-)
Beyond: I was told, eventually we all sleep for ever. - BTW, I regularly sleep 9 hours! (Don't be jealous)
