I remember being in a costal city that reminded me of Catalina. I was alone and wandering the town when it suddenly became clear to everyone that the planet was facing an extinction level event, something very soon would be colliding with Earth and destroying it totally. Of course, everyone started to panic, many people got on boats of all kinds to try to their chances of survival at sea. I was staying at a home right off the water and decided to have my old friend Jaime come meet me there and for us to spend the last hours or days waiting out the end of the world together, but he had to drive from far away and so I waited alone. No-one was sure how long until things started to happen or how long they would last, but suddenly it started pouring rain and the streets started to flood incredibly fast. As everyone began panicking, I started making my way through the streets and towards the home I was staying at when all of the sudden a bright, terrifying red light flashed across the sky and throughout the entire planet. It was accompanied by a painfully loud boom and we all somehow knew that it was the first of many waves of harmful/deadly radiation from space. I made it to the house and found a small boat there where my dad was inside a cabin sleeping, but the boat was half full of water. He was with some other strangers looking to leave on a boat out of desperation. I woke him up and he told me everyone was taking Valium as a means to take the edge off and hopefully go out more peacefully. I ended up taking one as well and then we got to the top of the boat and a captain was there, taking the boat and us few passengers out to the ocean. We passed many other boats of all sizes, some military, some private, some commercial. We had some destination in mind, but I wasn’t aware of it, although I had a feeling it was military-related. As we traveled, we were hit with another wave of radiation, much worse than before, and my dad and I fell down, immediately sick and disoriented. The last thing I remember is my dad died during that last wave and I was found face down floating in the water with one of my arms missing, barely alive.
This dream seems to reflect feelings of fear, helplessness, and impending doom. The coastal city setting may represent a sense of vulnerability and being at the mercy of uncontrollable forces. The impending extinction level event and people's reactions symbolize a fear of the unknown and a desire for connection and companionship in times of crisis. The rain and flooding could represent overwhelming emotions and chaos in the face of disaster. The red light and harmful radiation could symbolize impending danger and a feeling of being overwhelmed by external threats. Taking the Valium in the dream may suggest a desire to escape or numb the fear and anxiety in the face of death and destruction. The presence of your father could symbolize a need for protection and guidance in facing difficult situations. His death in the dream may represent a fear of loss and abandonment. Losing your arm could symbolize a sense of powerlessness or feeling like something important has been taken from you. Overall, this dream may reflect deep-seated fears or anxieties about feeling out of control in the face of overwhelming challenges and the desire for comfort and companionship in times of crisis. If this dream leaves you feeling anxious or unsettled, it may be helpful to explore these emotions with a therapist or counselor.
