Mass destruction dream

Hi, folks!

OK, so today I got my first "mass destruction" kind of dream. I very seldom have dreams that involve destruction episodes of any kind, so this one stood out.

There were two locations involved in what looked like "Parallel 3D Earth"/"Perpendicular reality" or similar. Many aspects of my personality, life circumstances, people involved and scenery are similar to my 3D current ones, yet they are notably different here and there.

First "location" looked like rural area (may be recognized as Russian rural, yet not quite as I know it).
Second one - urban - a city, again very similar to where I live now, but buildings are slightly different, their placing relative to one another is different, etc.

"Rural area".
There was a group of people, local, who gathered at "observation spot" on small hill to observe what was coming over the horizon, tens of kilometers away. Late evening, it was getting dark. Over the horizon in our direction advanced what looked like massive supercharged lightning/thunder storm. Mostly red lightning hit here and there many times a second with tremendous boom! This activity apparently caused whole lot of disruption on surface and that was visible even from afar. Landslides, sinkholes, shock waves, intense winds, even matter disintegration/transformation(??). All of this causing literally whole villages to be annihilated in its wake. There were emotional atmosphere of "fate", "inevitability", "no need to run, hide" among the people. Whatever it was it looked like this activity was not a complete surprise for the gathered people. They just watched and waited it to get to us. I also observed it with them for some time.

"Urban area".
Then change of location. I'm in my urban area, walking outside between buildings, there is sense that I live nearby. It is abnormally quiet outside. No one walking, no one talking. Eerie silence. Everyone is inside apartment buildings, apparently, maybe many have already left the city (?). There is strong feeling of "it is now coming our way". Again, late evening or early night, windows and light poles are lit.
Then, skip to morning/early day (?), I'm in my apartment, about 5-10 floor maybe. It has come. I observe through the window. All hell breaks loose. This huge lightning activity as it advances causes entire many-story apartment buildings to collapse! They either break in the middle and remaining parts do collapse into their footprints, or they just fall, swaying, completely on their sides, and fall over, as if their foundation just has been disintegrated underneath them. Buildings, falling, ramming into other buildings, causing them severe damage or collapse as well. All with occupants inside.
It is all accompanied by huge booming sounds from lightning (or were there meteors?). Utter chaos, destruction, atmosphere of massive death, massive grave, entire districts are being destroyed. Not pleasant.
Strange, but electricity is still there, and TV is working. "Emergency Breaking News" are being broadcasted. I got "we are on it, we are helping, we are rescuing, we will take it under control, we are coming to the affected areas, we are doing damage control" attitude from them, which I perceived to be complete nonsense, desperate attempt to prevent panic, chaos for those, whose buildings are still standing. Everything outside is a mess, just huge piles of concrete, steel, garbage. No roads, no help could be possibly provided.
Meanwhile people are acting strange. In by building (still standing, as "storm" advances in my direction) those who haven't left much earlier are just went into complete shut off. Many actually intended to go to sleep (?). On the street, some are dealing with each other in a brutal way (but non-violent to bystanders), as if it is the last ditch attempt to settle matters between them. They even challenge each other to a duel(??)
My phone (and wireless internet) is still working, and I intend to connect to my friend who is living in another district to find out if he is still alive, and maybe cooperate with him in some way.
Dream ends by me seeing nearby building beginning to fall on its side, falling in my direction (I'm still in my apartment). I expect huge impact, but it is strangely not that pronounced, but still my building become bent/tilted, windows are gone, so I decide finally to get the hell out and fast...

When I woke up it took me quite some time to realize where am I. Again not pleasant, even now.

What do you think?
 
It's not uncommon for people to have mass destruction dreams. If one is reading SOTT and paying attention to what is happening in the world it is obvious that this world is in for some mass destruction at some point in the future. Mass destruction dreams could be a way of processing this information. Sometimes they can be a warning about a future event, though the details and circumstances may not match exactly.

What do you think this dream is saying to you? Might it be a wake up call for you to prepare?
 
Yes, these dreams can be very unpleasant. I've had a few. One or two of these in particular were of the post-apocalyptic type. And were so vivid, so horrific that I couldn't eat or sleep well for a few days after. As though I had really seen something that was so real or possible that it couldn't have anything less than a visceral effect on me. As Odyssey says, these type dreams can be your unconscious mind processing the information you have become aware of. A message from yourself to yourself and snapshots of what life may very well be like here before, during or after when the cometary dust settles. The dreams could also, however, be about other things too. Dreams can be rich in symbolic meaning so they may not be taken literally of course. I guess if I had another one of those dreams I'd be reflecting on some of the specifics and what they meant to me personally ie. what they mean to me next to any issues I had. So in addition to the big "mass destruction" picture that is being presented, I guess I would also be reflecting on how I was behaving and responding in the dream. Maybe there are some clues there.
 
What strikes me about your two dreams is that the first one is outdoors or external. It is in a rural place and you are observing the Russians who were observing the oncoming storm. You were once-removed. A sort of witness.

In the second, urban segment, you were internal...in your apartment, your private space. You were again observing and you had access to the outside world through your TV, phone, internet. You were buffered from the chaos outside and had a means of gaining information or communication. Again, you were a sort of witness.

The descriptions are rather without emotion, so perhaps you were not registering fright or panic...that would also indicate you were just witnessing something, not directly experiencing in the activity.
 
Thanks everyone for their opinions, thoughts!

KJN, good point, I should reflect on this.

I also want to point out one important moment, that sort of balances all negative perceptions in the dream. I didn't mention it in the opening post.
This is the feeling that some "not so important" period of my life "there" finally has come to an end, and I was beginning to open a new chapter in my life. There emerged huge physical hardships at that point, but nonetheless I welcomed it because that was movement in forward direction.
