I had a strange dream

I was standing in my room looking outside from my window when I noticed from the distance that the mountains seemed to be coming closer but I disregarded it as I thought my eyes were just playing tricks on me. But when I looked again, the mountains were looming just a few miles away from my house.
OMG! I panicked. The world is “crumbling” like paper. I had to get the kids out of the house and run for our lives.
“Hurry,” I shouted to my older grandson, "Grab all the food you can from the ref, and get some water too," as I shoved the plastic bags to him.
I ran to my room. I can hear the ominous rumbling of rocks crushing and the buildings collapsing.
I grabbed my bag with my ATM and some cash and run to get the kids out of the house. I pulled off the electric switch and I was not sure whether it was the main switch, but I had no time to find out because when I gazed up, a mountain was already crushing the walls of our house. My heart went to my throat and I could hear my ragged breathing.
I and the kids ran for our life. I was carrying my grandbaby and his two siblings were trailing behind us. “Run, run,” I frantically shouted at them. My knees nearly gave in, as I pulled the kids out of the house.
Outside, it was total chaos. Dust and mist swirled around, while people ran away from the incoming disaster.
“Where is the evacuation center?” I asked some people but they were all in a daze.
There was semi-darkness and, in the confusion, to grab all the food and water we might need, I let go of the baby. When I attempted to pick him up again, he was gone.
My heart leaped to my throat and I cried out loud for his name. The swirling mist and dust didn’t help me at all, as I groped on the ground for my baby.
“Please, help me find my baby,” I cried in despair to no one in particular.
But I couldn’t find him.
Suddenly, the rumbling stopped. I look at the mountains and they had stopped a few distances away from me. The cloud of mist and dust started to disappear as well.
The landscape that I saw had changed. In the area where the mountains rolled by, there were no more buildings or structures – just mountains.
With so much despair in my heart, I entered a building, that was not ravaged by the mountains, and there I saw babies and kids who were all lined up, sleeping on the floor.
“Have you seen a 14-month-old baby?” I asked. I forgot all about my older grandchildren in my search for their younger brother.
“I think you’re looking for her,” they pointed to a chubby baby. I ran to the baby with so much elation. In my dream, I have forgotten my grandbaby was a BOY.
Anyway, with that feeling of relief and happiness. I woke up.
What a strange dream. It was so vivid. I could still see and hear the thunderous sound as the mountains inched closer and closer to where we were.
I usually interpret dreams there are vivid to me, but this one, I can’t seem to. However, I will think of it as a good dream because of the happiness and relief I felt in the end.
What about you? Did you have any strange dreams? What are your thoughts about this dream?

I'm glad you were happy at the end of the dream. I don't remember my dreams unless someone wakes me up while I'm dreaming.

@Jenaisle That is entirely possible or you were forced to wake up by the emotions in the dream.

I have strange dreams all the time. I don't know what your dream represents without knowing exactly what is going on in your life.

Maybe the volcano got your scared, so disasters are on your mind. Good thing everything was OK in the end.

Never had dreams with events that lasted so long and amazing that you even remembered everything

That is a complicated dream.
Dreaming of mountains is usually said to mean that you want to reach greater heights in your life, but a mountain crushing down on you, might mean the reverse. You feel at a low point in your life.
This seems to be a rather violent dream, and might be saying that there are some unexpressed hidden emotions bubbling up in you somewhere, or that your current belief system seems to be inadequate for your life now, and so is collapsing along with that mountain.
The good ending could be showing you that you can get past all of the turmoil, and reach greater heights of insights, again soon.

@innertalks I see. I mostly believe that they are warnings foretelling the future, just like the dream of Joseph about his brothers in the Bible.

@Jenaisle Thanks. I think that most dreams are more about our inner life, than their possibly being about something that might happen in the outer world.
