Overview

A Dream of Armageddon is H. G. Wells's haunting story of dream, memory, war, and possible future catastrophe. A man describes visions of another life in a world of beauty and political violence, where private love is shadowed by approaching destruction. Wells uses the dream frame to blur prophecy, guilt, desire, and historical fear.

The story is brief but emotionally charged. A Dream of Armageddon shows Wells working in a more lyrical and tragic mode, less focused on machinery than on the human cost of conflict. Readers interested in early science fiction, antiwar imagination, dream narratives, and speculative stories with psychological pressure will find a compact work with a lingering atmosphere of doom and regret.
