I continue to have similar dreams at least 3 days a week. For about the past month.
It is about death and the end of things. Usually I will just be going about my business in my dream. I can remember most of them perfectly. And then the end just hits without any warning. One dream I am driving along a road with my brother, near my old home. I look off to the horizon and I see a mushroom cloud and a bright flash. Right over my hometown. I can feel the sense of panic and anxiety as the shock-wave gets closer and closer until it engulfs us. Then I wake. Another dream I am sitting on the shore of a nearby lake, with several people from my life. People I knew in high school, old friends, and relatives that I have not seen in many years. I look up and see an asteroid heading towards us. It crashes off in the distance and once again I feel very panicked and I get very anxious and nervous. The shock-wave approaches us and once again, I wake. In this other bizarre dream. I am sitting in the living room of my old home. From when I was a child. And I can hear screaming and shouting coming from outside. I rush outside to see my family in the lawn looking up in the sky. The moon is falling out of orbit and is getting closer and closer. It crashes into the surface of the Earth and I wake. These are just a few of the several dreams I have had about the end of days. I actually dream often about dying. Gunshots, car accidents, or drowning are common. I have had several mushroom cloud dreams, and they always leave a lasting effect on me. I wake covered in sweat, heart pounding and racing. The panic lasts for hours, I am usually unable to get back to sleep. Is there a reason for these reoccurring dreams? Or is it just a random coincidence and my mind just likes to **** with me in my sleep?

You have issues that you wish to forget but they remain unresolved.
Probably procrastination or an issue that you thought that was solved but wasn't. |

Or, it could be somethign more physiological - related to a panic attack triggering while you're sleeping. The panic could conceivably create a panic image, which would then create a self-feeding cycle until you wake up. It's not uncommon.
Recurring dreams do usually mean that there is an underlying concern that isn't being solved (just as contrast said), though it doesn't necessarily mean you thought it was sovled before. You could be repressing it, avoiding it, or simply ignoring its presense and it would still hold the same effect in dream-speak. That this is a end-of-times image tells me that this is a very VERY urent need, and that it involves some sort of change (death in dreams in more about change and transformation than it is about actually dying...the loss of something you once had/were in exchange for something new yet to be seen). I'd be willing to bet that you've repressed something, since in every dream you're far away from (distancing yourself) the source of the destruction. I question though whether this is a dream directing you to take action, or to brace for something bigger. The impacts in the dream look like things that even if you addressed them, would be unavoidable. The old saying goes "duck and cover (and kiss your butt goodbye)!" Maybe you've been avoiding or distancing yourself from this dilemma for so long that now all oyu can do is hold on tight and wait for the change to happen (and it will; it always does). Also, all of these dreams keep the same theme of old familiarity (friends, family, and your old home). It's like your subconscious is acknowledging that all this distancing is happening in you living in the past. Has this been a problem? What are you tryign to avoiding dealing with by doing so?
