So last night I visited another recurring location in dreams: The apocalyptic city.

The apocalyptic city is complete chaos. There, the apocalypse is happening AT THE MOMENT of the dream, rather than the city being post-apocalyptic. People are running and screaming, killing each other, looting, trying to find some way out, but there's really no escape. A lot of the time when I'm in the city it looks like San Francisco, with steep hills and cars parked diagonally and old houses. It's always night there.

The cause of the apocalyptic situation is always different though: Nuclear fallout, biochemical warfare, earthquakes, floods, etc. This time it was an impending meteor strike that would destroy the planet.

I pretty much know what causes me to dream about the city - it's panic, or a sense of oncoming doom or whatever. I went to bed extremely nervous about my callback today, and so I dreamed about a panicking city that could do nothing to prevent its death.
