Does anyone ever have apocalyptic dreams? I get dreams of a nuclear bomb going off and seeing a huge, giant mushroom cloud. As this happens, I try to dive for safety by getting behind a cement barrier or going underground. I would stay underground to wait out through the fallout to keep from being overexposed to lethal doses of radiation. I have had a couple of dreams where I still had to deal with the radiation exposure that affected everyone around me who mutated into something like X-men. Then the world as we know it turns into nuclear winter and I had to fight to survive.

I've had these dreams ever since I did a research into nuclear bombs when I was in high school because of my curiosity of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Apparently, I ended up with more than what I bargained for. LOL.

Know the feeling. Research something out of curiousity and then it ends up to be a panic trigger. I have weird dreams like yours. I don't like them at all. I thought I was the only one who this happen to.

I hope this is okay but I do spiritual dream interpretation and what I have found with dreams like this is many times it's to do with your own life or someone that is close to you. They seem to be warnings about issues that we are concerned about in our lives.

for instance when I dream about tornadoes it usually means that someone in m family is going to go through a traumatic event. So it's a warning.

Funny... any time I've ever had an apocalyptic dream, it's involved a close friend of mine. I figured it's because that person was pretty obsessed with apocalyptic themes, so in my dreams I associated the two together.

I have had apocolyptic dreams.. when i was young.

One was during that war in the nineties.. think it was the gulf war?(could be wrong- hazy memories)

Anyways in that dream I was standing in my driveway, and I looked up and could see a missle falling. I ran to the neighbors, to tell them, all panicked, and they were not worried. They said they would be safe inside their house. They had a skylight and I looked and the missle was closer. I decided to run home to get my mom and save her. As I ran over a missle landed right in front of me, but it didnt blow up. I tripped, landed on my knees, and threw it over my shoulder??!?! and then my house blew up and mom came out of the mess covered in flour. but was fine.



In another one I am sitting in my childhood home, at my birthday party, and there is a balloon chandeleir above me with a red baloon in the middle. Suddenly the red baloon pops and i look outside, everything is turning to churning mud. I rush out side to try to rescue the cat(the cat? not family, but the cat, - boy thats indicative of the type of childhood i had eh lol) and get swallowed by the mud.

I had a dream once that two really tall buildings were falling on top of me, and I was trying to catch them. Some airplanes were circling above and I tried to knock them down, when I woke up I was standing on my older brother's bed and holding both walls in the corner of the room as if I was supporting them. The next day was 9/11... which really freaked me out.
I have appocalyptic dreams pretty often too, some of which I seemed to be the cause of. It was as if I was ending the world. Odd thing is, I enjoyed the rest of the dreams pretty well with no one around.

Dang, Icecreamman! That was a prophetic dream. Very prophetic.

I once dreamt the whole world was ablaze. Pestilence rode his sickly horse, plaguing those below; Famine, astride a mere skeleton, starved his victims. War, upon a red, armoured stallion cast a spell of wrath on men who then turned on each other like rabid dogs. Death, black cloak billowing in the wind, scythe in perfect condition and white horse proud, swooped down one by one and severed life from the bodies of men.

I could but watch, not human or even alive. I was a scarecrow, guarding the feilds of the men I witnessed perish. And as the flames caught my straw, I too perished.

I haven't been able to figure out all of my own dreams yet, but the fact that you did so much research into that particular subject, is the answer.

I know from reading at least 2 books on dreams that one type of dream we have can stem from excessive knowledge or concentration on any given subject.
