Apocalypse Dreams

Apocalypse Dream Definition

To dream of the apocalypse is to dream of a change coming to your life.

While the symbolism of the apocalypse may seem quite aggressive, it doesn’t need to be as there are always ways that you can prepare for it.

Life is scary and tough at times, however, the universe wouldn’t put you through anything you couldn’t handle. If you truly want to strive after your dream, then you need to learn to embrace these challenges.

Over time you’ll learn that this dream isn’t there to scare you. But instead, teach you how to go after the things that you want in life.

Take the time to listen to yourself, your dream, and your needs.

Wellness is the most important thing during this time.

So take some time to adjust to the situation that you are in. You may need a period of mourning, but that’s okay. Do whatever you need to step into your dream life and become the person you need to be.

Oh, and remember to take some time to enjoy the world around you. As your apocalypse dream is reminding you, the world isn’t here forever.

A Bit of Context Into… Dreams About the Apocalypse

The Spiritual Meaning

To many, having apocalypse dreams is change and transformation.

An apocalyptic dream does not have to bring stressful situations with it, and if you are of the spiritual inclination, you can rest as to dream of a post-apocalyptic world means that there is a new phase coming to your future.

This could be a new job, closure from past relationships, or a spiritual awakening, but either way, this time is pivotal for the dreamer.

We all have to change our reality in order to grow, and whether you plan it or not, it’s inevitable to happen. You might be feeling unprepared for this change, but whether you welcome it or not, the future will still arrive – you just may find the adjustment more difficult if you remain resistant.

The Religious Meaning

The end of the world has been covered in various religious texts – from Christianity to Buddhism, to Hinduism and Mormonism.

Ultimately, each religion has its own dream interpretation of how the rapture may come upon us. Depending on which (if which) you believe in will depend on whether you find solace in these explanations.

For instance, the Hindu’s believe that the end of the world will come from Pralay – an all-destroyed flood. Whereas, Buddhists believe that the Buddha’s teachings will be wiped from the world, only to be then reinstated by a new Buddha reincarnated.

Whichever you believe, let’s hope in reality it’ll bring peace.

The Psychological Meaning

According to dream experts, Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung, the apocalypse dream meaning is wrapped up in the carnal desires of sex.

For Freud in particular, this apocalypse dream meaning isn’t too shocking, as he suggests that apocalypse dreams appear when the dreamer isn’t receiving enough sexual contact.

Whereas Jung teetered down the idea of the Apocolypse Architype.

This concept and dream signifies change and upheaval. Although an apocalypse dream means deep emotions for many, this destruction does not inherently mean change for the sake of destruction, but instead, change becomes an inevitable construct.
