Was this a dream about the end of the world?

Question

About a month or so ago I had an extremely realistic dream. The sky was dark, the air was thick and it smelled really bad. I don't know what city, state or what part of the world I was in but I was there were large bridges built over what seemed to be heaps of rubble, of what use to be there.. (the detail of how things got to be that way i have no clue) I remember standing on one of the bridges and peering down and seeing animals, like beasts.. eating the dead people under the bridges. There was no food and the bridges weren't strong enough to hold. Why did I have this dream? And I'm not a religious person at all. I have had devaju my whole life, pretty extreme ..but nothing this screwed up or vivid. I woke up frantic and resenting the dream, I was disturbed by the images for at least a week.

Answer 1

Yes, it sounds like a dream about the end of the world.  I don´t know why you had it.  Have you been worried about global warming, wars, and the fragile economy?  Did you watch a post-apocolyptic movie or something?

This is pretty much the idea that is presented over and over about the end of the world.

Answer 2

throughout my life, i have had a lot of deja vu and a lot of my dreams coming true. i wouldn't take this dream as meaning too much. if something was trying to send you a strong message, you would be having reoccurring dreams. this might have been triggered by something you saw, like a movie or just the word apocalypse at a small glance. it could have been from the news, because people are often discussing the environment and how we could die because of it. if it really bothers you, then start doing something about the environment. any small little thing like recycling a bit more, walking instead of taking a car or bus, or installing fluorescent light bulbs. as scary as this is, it could come true one day if we don't do anything environmentally conscious.
