Another Apocalyptic/Disaster Dream

I had a dream I was a high school student again. There was an outbreak. There were CDC a d military at my school. They had students and staff line up in 2 separate lines. They had a tablet and a scanner. They'd scan our eyes and swabs our mouths and somehow the tablet could tell if we were contaminated or infected. It came to my turn for being scanned and swabbed. I was contaminated.

They pushed me through a door where other students were and we were forced into buses. Idk where we were going. I was sitting near the back. We started driving. It was getting dark outside. I hear something that sounds like cracking but deafening. The buildings around the bus started sinking and my bus driver tried maneuvering the bus around falling buildings.

My dream switched to a bird's eye view. Everything around us was crumbling. Water started rising around us. Like a tsunami or massive flood. My bus crashed and we landed in water. Everyone was screaming. I look down and see water making it's way to my feet. I look up and the front window of the bus starts cracking and as soon as water rushes in I woke up.

Dreaming about a HUGE tidal wave, can’t escape

I dreamt that I drove out to a lookout near a beach. I guess I was there for an event because there was a lot of people there too. I was sitting in my car waiting for something, when I heard a lot of commotion. I was looking down at my phone and I heard people saying “oh my god” and “what is that?” By the time I look up, I see this gigantic The Day After Tomorrow type tidal wave coming straight at us. People outside and around my car start running back away from it, while I stay in my car, unsure if I’m safer staying inside or not. I woke up JUST as the water got close to me, but didn’t actually get me. Another thing about the water was that it almost looked like multiple tidal wave crashing into each other, combining. The water was also like a light muddy color, not dark, black water. What could it mean? I woke up in a little bit of a panic

I watch the world die by artificial parasitic nano machines.

It started off innocent, I was walking around a city with strangers I don't know or recognize. Then the world slowly started getting darker, sirens and explosions occurring around me. We snuck into a research building inside the city, here we discovered blood on the walls and bloody drag marks leading to a holding room.

Along the way we discovered transparent silicon like creatures with liquid and inner machine framework in the center. It resembled a toy spiky ball and came in different shapes. It it hated the light and would attempt to flee into darkness as a result of shining a light on them. These were intelligent enough to react which disturbed me.

We walked cautiously through the facility with people walking and acting strange, when we got back to the ground floor we talked to people who were "healed" from these machines. Blind people could see, deaf people could hear. Brain tumors were eaten and replaced.

We decided to leave, and it jumped into the slight future. The buildings are destroyed and now we hide from large black silicon shadow humans. They are entirely black and portray a primitive human but are aggressive and odd.

We decided to kill a nest of these at night, we havevthese grappling devices and swing up trees. We hunt one and manage to take out its head with shots from a revolver. However it regrow a head from its stomach almost instantly. Then it screames in a sort of electric static mixed with a human scream. We hear reinforcements coming from the trees. We run, and see a huge tsunami coming our way and climb a large tree, I get hit by a top wave but manage to hang on.

I hear a whale call from nearby, and see a black whale swimming near us, it has half of its body converted into a transparent skin with machine and cogs controlling its insides. The water recedes after a time, and the sun rises. We head back and I touch one of those machine balls.

It feels like a slight prick, then I feel a wire moving in my hand and it's uncomfortable.a plant sprout grows from the wound and then dies after it starts to go through my arm veins and into my heart. I shoot myself with the revolver. But I only feel the pain. For a second as it repairs me almost instantly. Disappointed I just state to the people I travel with saying. "What's the point of life? Death is inevitable. "

It was a sad dream, but I felt better afterwards.

Any interpretations?

So I had this dream a couple nights ago and decided to post it here. From what I can remember, the dream starts off with me in school. I come into the classroom and I sit down and start talking to this girl and it seems like we’re really interested in each other. She tells me to meet her in front of the school and then leaves the classroom. Around 10 seconds after she leaves I grab my bag and leave as well. But when I exit the classroom, I find myself walking on a large hill. As I’m walking I’m thinking to myself “Isn’t this a dream?” So I decide to look at my hand and see that my index finger and my middle finger are swirled into my palm (It looked like when you use the swirl tool on pictures). The lucidity only lasted for a second and then stopped. As im on the hill I look down and I see that the Golden Gate Bridge is being overwhelmed by a massive tsunami, as if the Earth itself was being destroyed. Then I turn around to look at the sky and to my amazement there is a whole other Earth in the sky. I also see that there’s a small, light blue planet in the sky as well and I could see every detail very clearly. There’s a guy who’s next to me and I’m pointing at the sky and yelling to him “ DO YOU SEE THAT? THERES ANOTHER EARTH IN THE SKY!!” He very blankly looks at the sky and says nothing, as if he wasn’t looking at anything at all. Then the dream ends with that scene. After waking up from that dream I start getting the idea that the girl who I was talking to is on that other Earth, waiting for me to meet her. Does anyone have an interpretation on this dream?

TL;DR Earth was being destroyed and I seen another earth in the sky and the guy next to me saw nothing.

I am with my sister and we are running while holding my cousin and I see thing little black baby on the floor abandoned by it’s parents. I picked up the baby and gave her to my sister cus I was already holding my cousin. I rub in front of the big crowd of people and yell we can do it. The crowd cheers back.
