An interpretation of apocalypses dreams

An interpretation of apocalypses dreams

This interpretation is from ""The Dream Interpretation Dictionary: Symbols, Signs, and Meanings" and is provided by J.M. DeBord aka "RadOwl". He is the author of several acclaimed books about dreaming, the host of The Dreams That Shape Us podcast, and is a moderator of r/Dreams, one of the largest dream sharing communities on the internet. An apocalypse in a dream can be an exaggeration of “huge change” or “bad conflict.” People can have a personal apocalypse when their lives melt down, or some way of living or doing things can no longer be sustained. Forces have built up that threaten to explode. A dream apocalypse implies the need to examine your life and take action, or prepare for the inevitable. An apocalypse can be an exaggerated way of describing the battles waged in life; for example, against a barrage of work. See: Fighting The symbolism can tie in with the emotions it invokes, such as dread and panic. See: Emotions, Panic Dreams about an apocalypse can cause people to fear that a worldwide calamity is about to happen, but this theme arises in dreams millions of times daily, and the world hasn’t ended. Therefore, it must be symbolism, and most likely a dream about the world ending means that something about your world is ending. You face a big change or loss. Situations such as major illnesses, breakups, job losses, financial collapses, personal revelations, moving to new locations, and reaching milestones are known to spark apocalypse dreams. Usually the symbolism connects with something bad, but the symbolism is based on your feelings and perceptions. The thing you fear or dread is not necessarily bad. For example, apocalyptic themes are common in the dreams of teenagers facing the inevitability of adulthood. The theme of apocalypse can capture thoughts related things people say they would do if the world were ending, things they wouldn’t do otherwise. For example, you finally tell your true feelings to that person you’re totally in love with, or tell your boss what an asshole he or she is. The idea is similar to what people say they would do if they only had X number of days to live. You finally do or say what you have always wanted. The truth comes out. Your true feelings show. You can think of the symbolism of apocalypse as more than a small disaster, but less than Armageddon. For a rundown of how dreams use strength of symbolism, see: Disaster.
