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.  The joke, as I see it, has the dreamer so wishing that the girl-meeting event will transpire, that he neglects to also consider the very major downside of the end of the world...
