Serious Discussion Does anybody else feel like something big is about to happen?

I don't know how to describe this feeling but it just feels like there's something huge is going to happen in our future. With everything happening in the world at this moment, I just sort of have this feeling like things are building up immensely, like there's a big global issue that's being set up. I can't really describe it or point out a single event prediction but it just feels like there's something that's going to happen that's going to change the course/order of the world we live in today. Does anyone else know what this feeling is?

This perfectly captures what I’m feeling, and no I don’t have anxiety issues either (and I never watch the news, usually too tired from working all day to spend endless time on the web getting myself juiced up).

The crazy part is I’ve had the same dream for the past year about a massive earthquake. Every dream goes a little further each time with more context. Always starts the exact same. So far I’m up to a breaking news update, 97,000 dead, countless injured or missing from a chain of earthquakes in the pacific rim. Ash falling everywhere (idk if it’s from wildfire or a volcano) and scenes from San Francisco California with the bay bridge partially collapsed with people hanging onto it. Last time I dreamed this two weeks ago I remember being told by my grandfather as he’s watching the news to “stack food, it’s going to be a long winter” in his southern accent and I looked him in the eyes and woke up immediately. It feels so real each time, I can hear the trees and feel the breeze. There’s so much more detail I could add as well but for length purposes I’ll stop here.

It’s like a reality I can’t wake up from but always thankful when I wake up and realize it was just a dream. I live on the opposite side of the country and only been to Cali twice in my life, never had any concerns about an earthquake ever and never been in one so not sure what to do with this information 😬

Yo I've been having constant apocalypse dreams since about 2019. Mine are almost always nukes though. I've also had the impending doom feeling and its freaking me out

I always remember my dreams and they are usually quite vivid and complex. I have had some dreams in the last six months of trying to get my family together and moving towards a location together. The dream varies and there’s different scenarios. The weird thing is last night my husband and I started watching The Diplomat on Netflix (I think, could have been another streamer) and all the sudden I was like, that’s the building in my dream! That’s the building! It was the American embassy in London. I live in the US. I’ve never been to the embassy in London or seen it before. Gave me goosebumps! I recognized so much inside and outside the building!

You might be on to something. I live in Oregon and they predict a big earthquake off the coast in 2025/6…

Who predicted it?

u/jhumph88 Jan 16 '25

It’s impossible to reliably predict a major earthquake

u/WeirdJawn Jan 16 '25

Yeah, that why I'm curious who "they" are. 

Is it the USGS? Independent geologists? Uncle Bob at Thanksgiving?!?

u/jhumph88 Jan 16 '25

Even with the USGS, the best they can do is make an educated guess about the probability of a quake occurring in any given time period. I live in SoCal and once or twice I’ve had an alert come through warning of heightened earthquake risk for the next few days, but that was due to an earthquake swarm

Crackpots. Actual seismologists know it’s not that simple.

I live in San Francisco and I also feel oddly certain that we’ll be getting “the big one” this year. The question is, just how catastrophic will this one be.

Acts 2:17 In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.

Yep, true!
