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.
Wedding
Wedding dreams represent the union of different aspects of yourself, major commitments, or transitional life phases. They don't necessarily predict actual weddings. Dreaming of your own wedding may reflect anxiety or excitement about commitment. A disastrous wedding might indicate fear of commitment or feeling unprepared for a major life change.
