Cataclysms And The Fall of Man

Anyone else been getting dreams (visions?) of our future looking bleak? Is it just a me thing?

These dreams have come and gone for years now. Probably as far back as 2020 or maybe even earlier for me. I'm not talking about any short or vague dreams either.

These dreams I've been getting throughout the years are highly detailed, lasting, and overall feel all too real. Some dreams have covered different aspects of lives our future selves are living, but they all have the same running theme. Cataclysmic environments, and the lacking presence of our fellow man.

The lack of a huge population in some of these locations I've seen in my dreams, like the cities is very worrying. I don't recall too many dreams I've had about out future involving the unalive, but I've had those too regardless. In those dreams, it showed me the unalived that were piled along the sides of our streets in our neighborhoods, and cities. Then there was the dream I had that there were survivors, like me, that were divided into small groups and were put on disposal duty, and you can already guess what we were disposing.

Just for your information there was a serious lack of lawful authority in most of the dreams I've had involving this bleak future of man. Seems like these series of unfortunate cataclysms have completely disposed of our laws, rules, regulations and that would highly likely include any lawman. Be it cop, or marine. These visions I've had very much felt like something you would see on tv shows or movies, like the walking dead- minus the zombies. So it would be something more like man vs man vs nature sort of scenario. Every man for themselves on top of being exposed to the elements- mother nature.

One other side note is that there was no proper authority that assigned us to disposal duty (Cataclysms and the fall of man happened, remember?), but a sort of nomadic system we had going on among us, the survivors. I just so happened to be picked to dispose of the unalived ones. The other dreams involved surviving normal, or bizarre weather patterns in places that were wrecked from previous cataclysms, walking among other groups of survivors, and the hunting and gathering of supplies as well as looking for shelters.

Let me backtrack to the disposal portion i explained earlier real quick because I want to be clear about the part where I said that I was put on disposal duty. I don't know for certain that I was put on disposal duty, but the impression I got from that dream lead me to really think that's how it unfolded. Dreams can be weird, and don't explain everything to you most of the time. Even if they did explain alot, I'd say, more than half of the time it's not direct with its message. Dreams sure love to be the cryptic type.

As far as the remaining people that were still alive and kicking the word, survivor, isn't too far off, or nomad either. I recall traveling alot, and sometimes in huge groups of people (like a nomadic people). We would all get a role eventually and would have to learn about each other. All of us, strangers to one another, thrown into the same cataclysmic scenarios and left with nothing but the remains of our once great civilizations, cities, and technologies; now to just defend for ourselves. No more law and order, just us, the people.

I told you my dreams don't mess around. They felt too realistic, and too detailed to just be something ordinary. I'll have to stop here, I've written too much already. If you want to know more, ask away.

I’ve had a series of dreams somewhat similar to yours for about the last 11-12 years. They are not very consistent often times I’ll have one or a few in a brief period of time and then not again for months or even years. I have been having them more though over the last few months. They feel apocalyptic in a sense but not in the sense that everything just ends. More like things as I know them end. If that makes sense.

In none of them have I found out what exactly the cataclysmic event was so far. Maybe I will at some point. I do have a question though- what does waking life feel like to you on average? Like if it has a vibe at all, how would you describe it?

Thanks for sharing your dream.

Hi there. It's *very* common for dreams to connect dots and toy around with what-ifs, you might be relieved to know. 20-30 years ago, I had this type of dream often enough that sometimes I'd worry for the state of humanity. Am I dreaming of the end of goodness, I'd ask.

Then (I guess) I got more trusting/less worried and more focused on positive aspects like potentials we can *fulfill* rather than the opportunities we ruin/waste. Which for me was what I could figure as my tie-in, symbolized as my "apocalyptic" events: the dreaded loss of opportunity since *everything* (if not used/cared for) will atrophy--including civility and the kind of cooperativeness we sometimes call "law and order". These days, there clearly seems to be a lack of people understanding or caring about this maintenance and in their misguided self-interest don't care if it "all burns down" (without having any real clue what that would actually mean). If you have been noticing these things, dreams *love* to put these indicators together and show ramifications, to make you *feel* that loss personally.

Back 30 years ago, I was a stress surfer in corporate consulting; then once I moved to the mountains, completely switched gears (both physically and spiritually), those kinds of dream eventually went away, in that I can now look back and see a noticeable lack of them. I wouldn't dare risk sounding dismissive and say they are probably a phase in every caring person's life, but yeah, heh, I bet if you ask the Romans (oops, they are no longer around to ask) about their end to their world, many will say they had various repeating dreams about it about to happen.

Thanks for commenting; I'll think about what you said, and for your question I live my life like most people normally. Nothing sticks out, everything's calm, I sleep, eat, work, and study like everybody else. I goof off from time to time with others, or by myself, read, browse the internet, etc,.

Thanks for the reply back! hmm, I'll consider what you said, but I can't help but think that this isn't over, not by a long shot. I guess I just got to wait around and find out like everybody else.
