There are dreams that could put Hollywood blockbusters to shame in terms of the level of special effects and intensity of passions. Everyone from time to time dreams of chases, disasters, dangerous and exciting adventures. Such dreams occur even to the most ordinary people. But seeing the Apocalypse in a dream is, fortunately, a rare event. So much so that some people tend to consider such a dream prophetic, and, upon waking up, begin to prepare for the worst. However, there is no need to be afraid: this is not the first time people have dreamed of the Apocalypse, but the world still stands.
Why you shouldn’t be afraid that your dream will be prophetic
All popular dream books have options for interpreting what the end of the world means in dreams. This fact itself proves that such stories are cases, albeit rare, but still not isolated. So there is no need to be afraid of repeating the fate of Noah. In addition, he was famous for his piety and piety, which cannot be said about the vast majority of dreamers. If higher powers suddenly decided to warn humanity about an impending catastrophe, they would choose someone who is really capable of changing something, otherwise the warning would be meaningless.
What scientists say about disturbing dreams
According to modern scientific theories about the nature of dreams, there are only two reasons for vivid, memorable stories.
The first is this: the plot of the dream reflects real experiences and impressions received shortly before sleep. The subconscious, as it were, repeats what it saw, and then records the memories in long-term memory. This process is reflected in a dream.
If you dreamed about the Apocalypse after the dreamer watched a movie, learned news about an epidemic, or read a book on a related topic, then the plot of the nightmare means absolutely nothing.
If there are no objective reasons to see nightmares about Armageddon, you should look for the source of the plot in your experiences. When a person sleeps, his repressed emotions are released. The subconscious speaks to people in the language of symbols, allegorically. A dream about the Apocalypse literally means fear of a possible catastrophe that is about to happen. But this is something already known to the dreamer: for example, a quarrel with a loved one, layoffs at work, waiting for an answer to tests at the clinic.
Events during the apocalypse
- Cataclysm - for the upcoming acquaintance with a strong and erudite personality;
- storm - in reality you will find yourself in hopeless circumstances;
- wind - to a quick move to another city, where you will constantly feel a feeling of loneliness, despite new acquaintances nearby;
- flood - to quick financial well-being, thanks to receiving an inheritance;
- zombie invasion - to making the wrong decision, which will negatively affect later life;
- hurricane - to the risk of losing acquired property;
- cosmic bodies falling to earth - to worries due to unfulfilled promises;
- the earth is on fire - to tragic news from distant relatives;
- nuclear disaster - to early dismissal and change of main activity;
- a sharp change in climatic conditions leads to emotional burnout and psychological exhaustion;
- destruction of humanity, through biological weapons or during an epidemic - risks ending up in a medical facility due to severe food poisoning;
- ecological collapse - to problems in relationships with loved ones.
Plot details make the meaning clear
In order to determine with great accuracy what the Apocalypse is in a dream about, you should remember the details of what you saw as fully and accurately as possible. Here are the details that matter most:
- causes of the disaster: fire, flood, virus, etc.;
- whether the dreamer was a participant in the events or an outside observer;
- the emotions that the dreamer experienced at the sight of the world collapsing before his eyes.
You should also remember the most striking fragments of the general plot. Each of them can have its own, separate meaning, sometimes completely unrelated to the overall plot.
Apocalyptic symbolism in a dream
In dreams, the apocalypse is symbolically close to allegory. Night visions have not so much prophetic as moral significance. Let's look through thematic sources to understand why we dream about the apocalypse.
Previous interpretations of dreams
If you dreamed of an apocalypse
Soothsayers of ancient times interpret dreams about the apocalypse as a reflection of exciting, sometimes tragic, phenomena in the life of the sleeper.
Miller's Dream Book
Happened to observe the end of the world from the outside, promising peace and prosperity.
If the dreamer saw himself injured or killed as a result of cataclysms, then he may get sick, or fail in his professional career, or suffer financially.
Vanga's Dream Book
The end of the world in dreams is a reflection of skill, or a call to use non-standard methods and techniques in solving current problems.
Cataclysms are dreamed of during the life turmoil and stress of the dreamer in reality.
Freud's Dream Book
A psychoanalyst of past years agrees with the opinion that during periods of everyday upheavals and tragic events, visions come to us with pictures of the apocalypse in order to clear the space of the subconscious from negativity and everything unusual for it. In other words, this is a game of imagination of an inflamed brain.
Dream Interpretation of Hasse
Miss medium points out that the end of the world represents ridicule of the dreamer because of the stupidity he has committed.
To dream of the end of the world associated with a global flood means a reflection of your awareness of all the wrongness and injustice of your life and the people around you. You have come to understand that the world is collapsing, but your lack of willpower prevents you from starting to change yourself.
When the apocalypse is caused by the fall of a meteorite, it means the burden of an unfulfilled task, of promised words.
Seeing people around you transform into zombies portends the loss of true friends.
In the light of modern interpretations
Current soothsayers about the phenomenon of the apocalypse in dreams are of the opinion that it indicates the dreamer’s dependence and the critical situations he faces.
Loff's Dream Book
What does the end of the world represent?
The pastor writes that similar phenomena in a dream should be interpreted, taking into account the cultural understanding and religion of the dreamer, the degree of growth of his spirituality.
This phenomenon in a dream may indicate the lack of control over the course of the dreamer’s affairs. Or it can talk about hormonal activity, divorce, loss of a relative, and other breaks in existing connections.
Sometimes such dreams are a consequence of a feeling of general hopelessness, hopelessness that arises as a result of the unpredictability of the future.
Sometimes the sleeper sees images in the form of religious revelations: angels, or demons and zombies. The role is played by the fact of what belief the sleeper is an adherent of. The tenets of one or another faith can resist the actions of sleep, or be their initiators.
Tsvetkov's Dream Interpretation
Esotericist considers the case of an apocalypse associated with a tsunami. He points out that they are dreamed of, foreshadowing temporary troubles if the water was clean.
When the dreamer was in the depths of the sea, this promises a carefree, financially stable life.
The fall of a meteorite foreshadows dramatic changes for the better.
If in a dream there was an explosion of the sun, which led to a worldwide fire, this foreshadows false accusations and gossip.
Dream Interpretation of Denise Lynn
The healer claims that if a man has dreams with a similar plot, this predicts financial difficulties. When a woman dreams of such a plot, the long-awaited conception will occur.
Deciphering options for the most popular dream books
The opinions of different dream books about what it means to see the Apocalypse in a dream are often very different. Listed below are excerpts from the most popular collections of dream interpretations. Which one is right can only be determined by the dreamer himself.
Armageddon according to Miller
According to Miller, the tsunami and fires accompanying the disaster are a good sign, foreshadowing financial well-being and a long-awaited opportunity to relax. True, if the dreamer himself, or rather his character, suffered in the process, the meaning immediately changes: now the catastrophe is dreamed of losses, failure of an important matter.
What Vanga said
The Blind Seer partially agrees with Miller. Rising water, according to Vanga’s dream book, promises rest and profit. Especially if the dreamer himself watched the disaster from safety, from the outside: this could mean a reward. However, giant waves are considered an unlucky sign. Their meaning is obstacles on the way to what is planned.
Loff's opinion
Loff is sure: a dream about the onset of the Apocalypse means that the dreamer is overcome by hormones, or he is experiencing a recent painful breakup or the loss of a loved one. In addition, the sad fate of the world can be dreamed of by those people who, in reality, are very worried about what is happening to the environment and society.
Modern interpretations of Tsvetkov
The list of reasons for Armageddon in this dream book most closely resembles a Hollywood plot.
- If the cause of the disaster is a solar flare or an exploded star, the sleeper should be wary of betrayal and false accusations.
- Did the planet explode? You will be very disappointed in people, or perhaps become a victim of deception.
- But a collision with a meteorite is considered a good sign. In this case, the Apocalypse according to Tsvetkov’s dream book foreshadows a sudden, but very successful turn in life.
- If a woman dreams of the end of the world, she should prepare for an important meeting with the man of her destiny. So Armageddon in this case means the end of the old life - but also the beginning of a new one.
Version of the Esoteric Dream Book
If the sleeper observed himself as if from the outside, the event foreshadows bad changes, trials, experiences. Were the events accompanied by a sense of doom? Financial difficulties are coming. Everything will be resolved for the better if the sleeper managed to survive, and in the end he experienced relief and joy.
Semenova's interpretation option
World catastrophe dreams of change. But the meaning of the sign is not necessarily negative; it all depends on the context.
Interpretation of a dream
The reasons for the apocalypse in a dream can be very different. Sometimes the dreamer may be very lonely or suffering due to loss of control over his life. Such a vision is also a protection of the subconscious from external stimuli and its attempt to isolate itself from sad life events.
Opinions of famous interpreters
Loff insisted that the dream about the end of the world is due to the sleeper’s concern for the planet. The dreamer realized how fragile the world around him is and how everything can collapse in one moment. also associated such a vision with various events that occurred in the life of the dream observer:
- death of someone close;
- painful breakup with a significant person;
- youth hormones.
Miller believed that such a dream occurs because the sleeper is afraid of making a big mistake. For example, do poorly on an exam or embarrass yourself at a meeting. It often happens that such a vision is preceded by tragic events in life.
But the end of the world from a stream of water or fire in dreams is deciphered positively. Such a dream promises prosperity and peace in the near future. The dreamer can count on an unexpected bonus or a trip to the sea. And if in the vision the sleeper suffered or died during the apocalypse, then this indicates possible illness or financial losses.
Tsvetkov interpreted the dream about the end of the world due to an explosion as a deception that the sleeper would soon have to face. He will experience resentment or disappointment from interactions with others and will feel very irritated because of this.
A dream in which the world is destroyed due to a solar flare should be taken as a warning. The dreamer may soon be accused of spreading rumors or betrayed. He should be more careful about what he says.
The death of all living things in a dream from a falling meteorite is a favorable sign. It means dramatic changes in life that will bring changes for the better.
For a girl, such a night vision promises a meeting with a stranger with whom she will begin a whirlwind romance. Next to this person, the sleeping woman has a chance to start a new stage in her life.
Interpretation according to Vanga:
- An apocalypse due to a flood in a dream indicates the onset of a calm period in life. The vision predicts profit, a good deal, and perhaps even a long-awaited vacation.
- The end of the world due to a tsunami in dreams predicts an obstacle that will appear in the way of the sleeper. Something will prevent him from completing important things. Troubles will not allow you to move for a long time.
- Looking at a flood from afar promises material benefits in the near future.
Miss Hasse believed that such dreams indicate that the sleeper has an overly developed fear of death. If in dreams the apocalypse happened because of fire, then great love, a successful career or a meeting with an influential person lies ahead. Such visions promise material benefits.
A zombie invasion in a dream indicates that the dream observer is very dissatisfied with the current state of affairs. He dreams of quickly completing an important project that he has been working on for a very long time.
Denise Lynn believed that men have such dreams about financial difficulties , and women about the birth of long-awaited offspring. These could be your own children or grandchildren.
According to Freud, visions of the end of the world indicate the sleeper's loss of control over his sexual energy. The dreamer can go too far if he follows his desires. Such a dream also means heavenly punishment or parental indignation.
