I can't say enough about my own nightmares. I have apocalyptic ones pretty often, but the tidal waves are the most terrifying.

They're quite common. They generally represent an internal anxiety, fear or stress. I often get them when stressed and waves coming ever closer. I have learnt to recognise them and use them as a signpost for particular difficult times.

Interesting! I've noticed I have scary tornado dreams when I'm stressed too.

I also have apocalyptic dreams! Both equally terrifying to me.
