Apocalypse
Apocalyptic dreams — end of the world, nuclear war, zombie apocalypse, or natural catastrophe destroying civilization — represent the collapse of your current worldview, identity, or way of life. These are paradoxically positive dreams in Jungian analysis: the old world must end for a new one to begin. They often appear during major life transitions, spiritual awakenings, or when long-held beliefs are being challenged.
