The movie knowing(2009) with nicolas cage has exactly the same idea. There are numbers telling the date and location and number of deaths for every disaster before the final apocalypse. Is this a coincidence?  --[[User:Gfrodo|Gfrodo]] ([[User talk:Gfrodo|talk]]) 14:49, 12 March 2016 (UTC)

The instigating dream, in addition to the romantic subplot, also had an apocalypse going on. If, indeed, the dream was a premonition to the actual event, presumably, the apocalypse will have to occur as well.
