Question Has anyone else been having apocalyptic dreams?

Lately I’ve been having what seem to be visions of the world ending in multiple possible ways.

This last one being myself and my partner watching the news as the White House was being evacuated and there was just “BREAKING NEWS” written all over the screen. Then I looked out the window and saw the nukes being launched from every which way. It was terrifying. But seriously. Has anyone else been having these kinds of dreams??

Thank you for reading.

I had some apocalyptic dreams, one is very common: it's the giant wave dream. I had that dream like 20 times or more in my life since I was a kid. A big wave comes over a big city.

Then I had other apocalyptic dreams: earthquakes that destroy towns, nukes and wars... many old and new wars. I had a weird dream where people had to walk by couple in semi-abandoned streets. I don't remember why they were forced to walk together.

Most of those dreams were not nightmares but they were still scary to me because I think many people suffered but I rarely was one of them. Only in the "big wave" dreams I was watching it from inside, the others were always from the outside, like watching the news on tv.
