This interpretation is from ""The Dream Interpretation Dictionary: Symbols, Signs, and Meanings" and is provided by J.M. DeBord aka "RadOwl".

Think of destruction as a physical representation, such as for volatile situations and big changes. Trust and faith can be destroyed. Home life can be destroyed. Health can be destroyed. A city destroyed can symbolize damage to your public life, because cities are where many people live, careers are made, and aspects of public life are carried out. Buildings closely spaced together, such in cities, are ready-made to compare with close relations and connections, so destruction of said buildings can symbolize conflicts with people close to you, such as family members or co-workers. Scenes of destruction can show your old life or aspects of it passing away. For example, seeing your old neighborhood destroyed can symbolize changes in your values, priorities, belief systems and ways of thinking. You are no longer the same person. The same ideas can be expressed in scenes of your old school or home destroyed. See: Neighbors Demolition in a dream can indicate that an area of your life or yourself is undergoing a change as previous structures collapse. For example, during a divorce you might dream about the house you shared with your ex-spouse being demolished—the marriage is a sort of structure. Or when your personality “structure” is changing you might dream about a building being demolished. Or your beliefs change, and you dream about a church demolished. The difference is, demolitions are deliberate and planned, and destruction is more random. After taking a huge blow to your self-image, or your life suddenly turning to crap, you might dream about your car being destroyed or a building crumbling.
