Thread: Why do I love my apocalyptic dreams?

Sounds to me like you might have a sleep disorder such as sleep apnea where you are stuck in the hypnagogic transition and never reaching the REM sleep phase, which is required for a restful night of sleep. The hypnagogic state is the liminal period between wakefulness and sleep as you start to doze off; hypnopompic is just before you wake up. It is hypothesized that time dilation occurs during this brief window and a dream of seemingly several minutes could take place in an actual second or less. Others contend that time is not linear and the past, present, and future all exist simultaneously and can be accessed during these two openings. If you check out amazon you can find several books on the subject. So, in theory, these apocalyptic visions may actually be future events that you have tapped into, and can make you famous if you can somehow avert World War III.

On a serious note, I would be interested in knowing if these dreams differ or are recurring, and maybe an example or two, if you are so willing. This way we can determine if you are predicting your own demise, or hell on earth for the rest of us.
