AngelaB - Zombies, buses, and a race through a dark, basement parking garage towards a Suburban.

The lights went out , zombies were in the garage (of course), and our flash lights were bouncing all around as we ran for the car. My heart was pounding and the garage was stifling. We made it to the car, but when the car exited the garage and zombies were hanging on the sides, it became a giant greyhound bus. My friend Alex was driving.

As we headed out of town, survivors kept running up to the bus. Whenever we stopped to let a survivor in, the zombies would swarm the bus again. In a nice counterpoint, the bus was air-conditioned and a provided a surreal cool break from all the sweaty running and screaming in the parking garage.

The whole thing was going terribly wrong. We were supposed to get supplies! We were supposed to follow any of the plans I've ever laid for this situation! I tried to get a grip and got off the bus to see what I could scavenge for food and weapons.

By then we were deep in the suburbs and the houses were all mint green. Not sure what that's about, but I would have been scared to go into those houses even if they weren't pastels. I forced myself to enter a few, ran into a few zombies, and fled into the woods.

When I return to where I had left the bus, it was gone. A sailboat riding low in the water and obviously abandoned bumped against the shore of the nearby creek. As I got in the boat, I noticed that someone had used blood to write this on the deck with their finger "Keep it a small world." Creepy, weird, and baffling.

Possibly the most frightening dream I have ever experienced was when I dreamt I was walking along the beach near my house and saw a zombie paddling towards me in exactly one half of a kayak. For some reason, this petrified me to the point of waking up. My rabbi says it didn't mean anything, but I am tentative...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Well I haven't exactly had nightmares because I seem to be aware of what is going on in the dream and I am not totally helpless. I know I've got a gun and I have a destination or a goal. Whats odd is the fact that I'm on a train heading through Zombie country. This is a reoccurring dream and is very similar in nature to a Mad Max post apocalyptic world. The train is moving towards a city and all along the tracks is junk. A barrier to keep the Zed's off the tracks? Well each time, the train will stop, I and a few companions (some I recognize and some I don't) will exit the train and begin a journey through some older abandoned office buildings. Holes have been made in the walls so that we can go from building to building without going outside. (The buildings seem typical of a English style where they are all connected.) Well we will end up in a building with the dead howling and reaching in through cracks and windows trying to grab us. Thats usually when I wake up. It hasn't been any "overwhelming" feelings or like it "seems so real". It is just a cool dream that has its Zombiness.

My worst dream was intense i don't know why its just that i felt it was in real life. It started off in my hometown I was on the bus when it halted to a stop, I looked out in front windowand saw in the middle of the road was a man just lying there.The driver got out to see if he was alright. The man seemed to be covered in blood.the driver was inches away from this man when he grabbed the driver and gnawed at his neck. I thwindow anden went into the drivers seat and just floored it. I then got outta the bus and ran. I saw about 30 zombies walking slowly towards me. My legs were like jelly and i couldn't run(i don't know why this happened it was the strangest thing) I tried my hardest to run away but my legs just flopped making fall to the cold hard ground. The zombies came closer and closer until the icy cold touch of one awoke me.


Wookiejuice:
Great idea for a thread!! Man, I've had scores of zombie dreams over the years, but one definitely stands out:

Typical setting. A mall. I'm in one of the many stores, and as far as I remember, I'm sitting in some sort of legal office, waiting to be seen. Suddenly, I hear a scream from outside and rush to the office's window, and peer out. I don't see anything but a large crowd of people fleeing through the parking lot. As I wonder what the heck is going on, I turn around to see the female legal assistant I was waiting for, straddling her current client on the floor, tearing at his throat. Horrified, I flee the office into the mall, only to be met with chaos.

People are screaming and running wildly through the entire mall, with the undead scattered about. Then the dream suddenly flashes forward, to where it's in the evening now, and I'm running around the mall with a small band of survivors. At this point, the mall is covered with the undead. Fortunately, they are old school zombies, that can only shuffle after you. With every encounter though, another survivor falls victim to the zombie masses. The small group becomes smaller and smaller. Finally, there is only two of us left. The other survivor and I are at the top of a staircase leading to the lower level of the mall, which is unfortunately is swarming with the undead, when a group of zombies approach us from the side. Him and I grab a wooden table from a display, and using the flat surface of the table, we rammed them down the stairs.

For some reason though, the other guy decides to head downstairs too... into the mass of undead! I shout at him to stop, but he doesn't listen, and he gets swallowed by the sea of zombies. Panicking now, I try to rack my rattled brain for a plan, but am too scared to think logically. So, I decide to hoof it over to the escalators. There are zombies everywhere and I then decide to get to the 3rd level of the mall. Big mistake. As I'm running up the escalator, I look up to see the undead leaning over the railings above the escalator from the third floor. They open their maw's, and start vomiting acid down on me. I remember looking at my hands, sizzling and smoking, flesh being eaten away, and feeling utter hopelessness. Then the zombies start flinging themselves over the railings, landing beside, or on top of me, and then begin their feeding.

I actually die in my dream!! But id doesn't end there though. No, after I die, the dream shifts into first person's view perspective, like one is watching a movie. The "scene" pans out to the entire interior of the mall, then pans out more, to the exterior of the mall. It is surrounded with undead. Then, the "scene" shifts again to a trailer park. Next, I see the interior of one particular trailer, to see a man and a woman, in bathrobes, sitting down for breakfast. I see the man take a bite out of an apple, then start convulsing. He falls to the floor, spasms some more, then dies. I realize then, what I was "watching", was how the zombie plague started. It was something in the fruit. And then I woke up. Weird, huh?

Well, I have seen many of them, but I have had two creepy and weird dreams.
One is where I am in a service station, I am outside, though, and see 2 zombies walking, chasing a survivor, see me, but don't chase me, but smile and, yes, TALK! Like in Return of the Living Dead, but I grab a gas station gun and spread it all over them. I then realise that if I burned them, they could set a light the station and I would not be safe. I run inside, but there are a few inside. What's weird is, every time I push their heads, like, use your thumb and force it in, I make a hole in their heads, killing them. I have a few survivors with me, but the dead mysteriously start to pile at the door over time. There was a double-door behind the counter, and there were zombies behind it, banging on it. then it stopped, and a passage next to the door started spewing out the door. My group and I dispatched 'em. Then I found myself on the floor in a mall with Dawn of the Dead 70's style around me. Then I woke up.

I have had a whole lot of zombie, and zombie related dreams. The most frightening though is probity one I began having a year ago. When it starts off, I am a minor scientist in a lab that analyses enemy chemical weapons. I am on a normal boring day at work when I stop to see the other more important scientist prospecting a new Iraqi chemical weapon when all of a sudden the building starts to shake dramatically the weapon spills all over the place and the people who were torched by it began to change into something that can compared to a mutant/zombie me and 5 of my fellow working began running and shut the door behind us we have no access to the area bellow except that office and just like a horror movie one of the people snap trying to make it through and we soon glare at his shredded remains as we sit the door again run for a more secure area and food. To make the rest short we make a good setup in one of the higher offices we try to find a way out we began to die off one by one then get this I make it out to the front entrance stumble down the stairs and die. So if there are zombies around… don’t rush down stairs.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I once had this dream, where I was walking home from the bus stop with my best friend, and we get to my house, and it's changed. Like, you know where its night around your house but day everywhere else? It was like that. But I didn't notice. So me and my friend entered the house. I didn't see my family anywhere, but, again, I didn't really notice. So my friend and I went up to my room, where she decided to spend the night. So we were sitting and talking and it was like a normal sleepover, right? But then, I hear this screaming coming from outside. I run to the window, and I see this girl from school that I hate being attacked by a zombie. So I turn back to my friend to try to come up with a plan to help her, but when I turn I see that my friend is dead and zombie-fide. Then my family is there, and they're all zombies, and they back me into a corner. So I turn around and jump out the window. Then I save the girl from school and we start running, but we don't know where to go. Then my boyfriend drives up on a motorcycle (which is kinda funny, cause he's like a geek) and me and the girl hop on. Then he drives us to a house thats all boarded up. There is a group of survivors inside. Fortunately, they let us in and we share they're supplies. But then, out of nowhere, zombies, like fall out of the ceiling and kill us all.

The End!

Vacation, All I Ever Wanted:
It is summer time, and Louisiana is grey and wet with rain. The sky is dark, and the rain is beginning to worsen slowly as I look up. Lightening strikes, but the only one's that seem to really pay much attention to it are myself and my friends. It's windy, and the rain is cold to the touch. People are coming out of houses, feeling the cool droplets and looking happy. There is even a small celebration beginning, with people lining up near one side of the street dancing and singing. Mike, Richard, Shannon and I look at each other, and shake almost simultaneously.

There is a sudden change in atmosphere, and people begin looking around, yelling. They begin running down the street, multitudes of people, all looking utterly terrified at something we cannot see. My group runs down a short alley and pause at the other side, watching the stream of frightened people pass by on the other side. This is when we see them; there is a large group of bodies running after and among the terrified people in the street. Most of which have bloody gashes and chunks of flesh missing. All of them are moaning violently, as if in amazing pain.

A blond woman stops at the head of the alley and looks down our way. I meet her gaze, her dead, empty gaze. She tears down the alley, almost screaming, with blood dripping down her lips and chin. Richard and Mike yell, pointing out two male zombies running toward us from another alley. We were all scared, they were running zombies, we were trapped. We hadn't expected this to happen, this wasn't supposed to happen!

I slip out my knife from my pocket and lock the crescent blade in place. The blond zombie jumps at me, and forces me onto my back. I hold her by her neck, keeping her jaws far from my body and arm. Mike and Richard are beating the other two zombies with piping they had picked up from the ground. I struggle for just a moment, then remember the knife in my hand. I swing my arm with all my might directly into the temple, and the crack of bone felt so real... The body slumped to the ground and Shannon stands, trembling, shaking her head in disbelief. More zombies are coming, we can hear the screams from all around us.

I retrieve my knife, Mike and Richard look at me, and we each look in the direction of a group of a dozen or so down the alley. The rain is intense, the lightening is rare, but formidably scary. We run, jumping a fence and then a high, iron gate. We don't stop, and we don't look back.

-- I realize this is a long dream, but I honestly remember every detail. It was utterly terrifying and I woke up in a pool of sweat. I even felt the bone crack I referred to. I hope you find it enjoyable, I found it utterly traumatizing for a week. Also... if you are like me, runners are the most ridiculously scary version of the undead... Be prepared for it, this dream forced me to consider the possibility.

Perfect Place, Perfect Time
I commonly have dreams about the "Zombie Uprising" and they always start with my being alone. This one in particular was especially vivid (from what I can remember). I work in an outdoor supply store for parts and service for brands like John Deere, Stihl, and Honda. In this "scene" I happened to be about my daily duties. I was humming along with the elevator-like tunes playing over the store's mp3 player, and stocking lawnmower blades on the shelves in one of the store's parts aisles.

Sometime in between my ripping open blade boxes, I noticed a landscaper behind the counter, and I looked to each side wondering if he was getting any help from my fellow employees. I noticed no one else was around and said, "Can I help you, sir?" I noticed something about this guy. It wasn't the drooling and dirty looking appearance of his presence, but it was how... well, he had no arm. It was completely ripped from his shoulder socket. I gasped as he started to slowly crawl over the counter top. Then I realized the situation. It was the Zombie Uprising I had always hoped for! (secretly).

I turned and pulled one of the 21" blades from a shelf, and chucked it throwing-axe style at him in the head (as I was well aware that "a blow to the skull or dismemberment of the head" would take him out). The blade was lodged directly in his eye, and he fell over. I found myself taking blade after blade off the shelves and pelting them at landscapers and employees alike. After killing off all I could find, I ran out into the showroom and grabbed a demo lightweight Stihl chainsaw off the shelf and opened a machete from it's packaging. I sheathed the blade in my belt loop, and headed out the door just after punching out on my time card.

Zombies at IMS
By:amy
Ok my dream took place at my school. A normal day at school and around 8:30 ms.wolf started hearing scratches on the doors around the hall, same thing with most of the teachers. this was first hour saw anything and the just started. Then after first hour the first teacher at the end of the hall looked out the window and saw bloodyfoot prints and the pave. She went outside and no one saw her since. Then a hour after that her home room went out side to try to find her. 32 went out 3 came back in. Soon enough our principal turned on the news and issued a look down. We went on for months with noticed that we were low on food . So there was a small grocery store 5 minutes away. 12 people went out nobody came back. Me and My crush, lived at school for the rest of our lives.
The End or is it????

I had a dream where I was on this site when zombies came out of the computer.

Thats all I remember the thing about me is when having a nightmare I ALWAYS wake up right smack!!! at the scary part or I don't remember when I wake up I guess I'm just lucky with nightmares.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

First I see an old looking barn but then I go inside and see thats its a governmental sceince lab. Then Im in a lab watching some men work with a virus when its released. Then the scientists start turning into zombies so i reach an emergency pistol and start firing (which is weird since for some reason i can never fire a gun in my dreams). When it runs out there are still dozens so i run and when I run im on like a set path with debris and gates making a wall and the light in the lab turn red. Along the way zombies hand are sticking out the walls and scientists who run with me are taken even when im closer. Then out of nowhere comes out my 7th grade language arts teacher. So i run with her when finally im almost at the door when an opening in the wall thing shows dozens of zombies only 3 feet away. So using some quick thinking i push my teacher into the zombies and I jump through the main door. Then when im out i see hundreds of zombies in the distance then i woke up.

i had a dream that i was stuck on a roof with zombies billowing out of the newly torn open door and i was alone running to no avail until i found myself at the edge looking down into a sea of zombies with thousands right behind me i tried to fight my way to the stairs but they kept pushing me back. i threw a few things that were lying about and then when i had no choice, but to jump i did and right before i hit the ground i woke up to find myself face down off my bed and Dead Rising still on the TV screen. i fell asleep while fighting a zombie hoard and i stood on top of a ledge and you could hear all there moans and when i fell asleep i dreamt of zombies.

Terror In Aisle 5, Terror In Aisle 5 - Crimsonxenon
My family used to wonder why I never got zombie nightmares, watching all the zombie movies and video games I played lol.

` I once had a dream that I was in an aisle of a grocery store (Maybe Meijer or Kmart) with a group of about nine people. One of the shelves wasn't parrellel with the other so there was alot more room. People were sitting around and the little area was boxed in. I was sitting on the tile while my mom was standing nearby. The others were on the other side of the aisleway. Suddenly, an old woman of about fifty started jerking around like she was having a seizure. Then she grabbed another woman and tore into her! Then someone shouted at the woman about how much of an idiot she was...probably because she had gotten infected. Then they threw the infected woman off of the other woman and she tumbled to the floor. I threw my mom a knife and motioned for her to jab the knife through its neck under its jaw. Then with a quick jab she fell to the ground. Then the people decided they had to dispatch the other woman or she would become a zombie next...which they did...then we started to hear moans in the distance and I looked down the aisleway and saw shadows approaching..then about five or six zombies...

It was then that I woke up, yawned, and then went back to sleep lol. Surprisingly, I had another dream. Immediately after this one.

` I was at my grandparent's house in their backyard..but it didn't look the same. The backyard that usually had a fence didn't and the backyard was huge. I got on a trailer with a bunch of random people I didn't know. We went down a large trail away from the house and I saw buildings in the distance. When we finally did make it to the buildings, it was a clump of abondoned buildings in the middle of a forest area. We paired up into teams and split up. Then I found out that it was a contest to see who would survive the zombies.

Then I had this dream about a week earlier.
` I was in a tight alleyway between two towering buildings. There were small windows higher up and certain parts of the buildings were boarded up. The sky was lit up a bright white (kinda like the ash in Silent Hill). I was running with a group of about eight people. I looked around and in each direction there was mist. I couldn't see what we were running from. Then I saw a dark figure in the mist staggering towards us at a alarming rate. We ran into a building that was pitch-black. All I saw was a few streams of light through the boards, if any. We ended up in a dimly lit room. The room was shaped like a triangle and it was pretty small. Then we stayed in the r

I have zombie dreams almost every night, though they're rarely of nightmare caliber (I've actually come to enjoy most of them). The scenery varies from a mansion similar to that of the original Resident Evil to suburban housing to space stations (think Doom). My weapons usually consist of a handgun and/or a rifle of some sort. In best case scenarios, I'm a zombie-slaying machine. In more unpleasant dreams, I'm unable to fire the weapon for some inexplicable reason (sometimes the trigger is stuck, gun is jammed, etc.) or I'm unable to properly aim for some equally unknown reason. I usually resort to fleeing in terror. I've rarely, if ever, been bitten or killed in any of the dreams, though. That fact, perhaps, is what makes the more nightmare-ish zombie dreams so unnerving - the dream goes on and on because I never get infected. Everyone else may die, but I always manage to escape somehow (for better or for worse). Curious.

well i have a zombie dream that happened a few nights ago, well i was in the mall and there were many people hearing moaning sounds and the next thing i know was i was the onlyone left out of the whole mall so i hid in the elevator. When i was going up i heard bumps on the ceiling of the elevator and I looked up and saw a decapitated head then i woke up. A lot of times im at my house when it happens and i try to run but everything keeps getting farther and farther away until i see myself die and zombies are all over then right after it i wake up and i here really weird sounds. I think the sounds are fake but they sound very very real. another one i have is I go hunting with my dad and we see somthing go into the woods, it looks like a human so we follow after it, once we catch up to it we see thousands of them and they start to come at us so we shoot at them. After a few minutes we run out of bullets and run for a lives. My dad falls and he gets killed by zombies. I'm wondering how am i going to explain this to mom, until i see the whole town I live in is full of zombies! I didn't know what to do so I go to my house which isn't covered by zombies,and get some knives and amo, after a giant battle i get bit and fall victom to the zombies.... after that i wake up in my car and my dad said that he found the right spot to hunt for deer.

I have had a few, but one of the most scarry i have had that i have always remembered (this happened when i was eleven or ten) I was about seven in my dream and i was far out in my back yard on my slide and i was standing on the top during a family reuinion and i looked to one side to see my cousin eating his girlfriend tearing her limb from limb, my cousins, grand parents, and other family members are all running into the house. i get down onto the ground and relize im the closest person to the now zombified persons, she crawls toward me and in fear i run away. but there gaining im about 40 yards away from my house back door and there 10 feet away from me i turn back to see my pet dog, a german shepard, he has my zombiefied cousin on the ground but he quickly turns the tide when his zomified girlfriend pushes my dog over and they start biting it, i ran away crying. i finnaly reach the house and see my mom smoking with two others socializing (for some reason its like she dosent know whats going on) i keep begging her to come into the house but she wont, she just keeps saying ill be in in about five minuts. i forgot that it was a dream by now and the vision of the dream so realistic, the zombiefied dog and girl are comming i started sobing and get slower for some reason i run inside and for some reason lock the door, my mom and the two other familie members are banging on the door and i can see them being dragged down by the zombies. i start sobbing and start thinking this is real and ill never see them again i ran up to the front of my house to look out the window and see in my front yard all my family members are being eaten by other relatives, itwas carnage, i walked over to a chair in my corner, that was in the same room as the door to the backyard, i stood on the chair then got down into the feedle position, i started sobbing and crying, crying for my mom. then i looked up to see the zombies right infront of me led by my ex-dog. i closed my eyes and awaited my death. suddenly i awoke because my mom was shaking me asking me what was wrog suddenly a zombie sank its teeth into her scalp, i awoke a third time for same reason in the same expression only this time it was real. I had never been so scared. i have seen hundreds of horror movies but nothing as scary as that.

-turkeyeyes P.S. i now always have guns in the house in atleast every room, though my wife protest's. i just say " if theres zombie's well be able to blow there freekin' heads off! you have to have some fun before you die.

Imagine being in the Wisconsin Dells amidst a zombie outbreak. You're enjoying yourself, you go down a waterslide and there's a zombie waiting for you at the end, and there's nothing you can do about it. Wisconsin Dells; not just a tourist nightmare anymore. -Piratelo

GunnerGraye:
My dream isn't really long but..I dunno I guess it just seems easy enough to remember that it seems worth telling about. So I'm the back of this..Hippy Van? (Yeah I'm not exactly sure what to call it..it's some sort of van anyways.) The back has been ripped out, and I'm sitting In the back watching the road as I notice that my leg has been severely injured and I wait for whoever is driving to bring me to wherever we are going. It look's like just a road in the middle of nowhere. Nothing but sand, and the occasional cactus-looking plant are to be seen as we ride by. In my hand I've got a 9mm. And there are 2 ammo clips lying on the cold steel floor. As we speed up, 1 clip falls out and I yell in anger because I can find no other source of ammo except for that 1 other small clip that actually seems half-empty. So as I sit there, watching the long, lonesome road, I stat to look out the window, but it seems so boring in it's sameness...All the sudden the car stall out in the middle of the road. I try to look over my shoulder to see what has happened to the driver but a horrible pain succombs me and I must turn around. I hear nothing but screams..and after a couple seconds, I'm drenched in blood, pressumably the drivers. I ignore the pain and turn around, to see a zombie chewing away at the driver. I start to feel sick and I turn around only to see thousands of zombies. Only about 100 yards down the road. I try to get up but my leg keeps me down. I check my gun..it seems fine. They get so close, I fire away. I start to count..1 shot, 2, 3, 4, 5..too many now..all I can do is keep shooting. Then I'm out..I load in the other clip. I get 4 shots in when the gun jams. And then..Surrounded... and that's usually when the dream ends.


Nemesis2012:
Here lately I have been having more and more dreams of zombies than before. They usually start off as me and other people I know being in a house or a big building trying to barracade ourselves from the endless zombie attack and trying to kill them with whatever we had i.e. shotguns, baseball bats, etc. And then other times in a dream i am by myself and all of my friends and family members have turned into zombies trying to kill them and it is usually hand to hand combat like i am Alice off of the resident evil movies. when i wake up and then go back to sleep the dream starts off where i left off and i am left trying to kill them again but it doesnt seem to work. they never die.

Member: Zazel Im a HUGE zombie nut but haven't really had many zombie related dreams, however one I had about two years ago does stick out in my mind pretty good.


My dream picked up in the middle of events as odd as that sounds, I just kind of blinked then was in the back of one of the those huge earth movers the state uses for road works with a bunch of survivors. It was hell, bunch of people crammed into the back of this thing, bunch of kids crying hysterics from the parents and some old people who didn't seem to grasp the situation and were talking to themselves. I remember just staring at all these dirty and bloody people in panic and not really knowing what was going on, I had one of those sinking feelings in my stomach like the floor had just dropped out from under me. Then I heard a crackle and static come from right behind me and I jumped, nearly wetting myself, there was a walkie talkie on my belt. It wasn't till then that I even thought to look at myself. I was dirty and scared just like everyone else but I had a radio on my belt and a gun across my lap, thats when it hit me that I was supposed to be protecting these people, odd as it sounds thats the part of the dream that really scared me, and at that point I still didn't even know what we needed protection from. The radio sounded again and finally I picked it up, a voice on the other side said that we were coming up on the last house (Somehow I knew it was the people below driving the dump truck) and that it looked like I was going to have to make another jump. Hearing that broke my focus from the survivors and I turned to look out at what was around us. We were driving north on the highway and I could see crashed cars off on the shoulder and smoke on the horizon, the whole thing was so surreal. The walkie crackled again and someone told me "heads up" as we pulled up on the house. Thats when I realised what was happening, we were rescuing my ex girlfriend and her mom and gramma from the roof of their house, but the thing was surround by a hoard zombies. The truck pulled up along side the house (The truck itself was huge and the bed was about level with the roof) and I jumped the three foot gap onto the house. Her mom was freaking out screaming and holding the old lady (She was covered in blood) but my ex was just about catatonic. I had to throw the old lady across the gap into the bed of the truck and then wrestle with the mom (who weighs a good 350lbs) and try to get her to safety, thats when I fell in between the house and the truck. It was just a dream but I swear I could feel all the breath go out of me when I hit the ground, and although I don't remember it happening at some point I must have traded my rifle for a hand gun and thats all I had to defend myself while lying prone on the ground. I got that sinking feeling in my stomach again cause I just knew that I only had one bullet left, and the zombies were clambering into the gap trying to get at me. I was trying to decide whether to use it on myself or zombies when I looked up and saw my exes mom trying to coax her into the truck, I cocked the gun and pointed it straight up.


Thats when I awoke. I know this sounds like a real elaborate dream but this whole thing probably only took a few minutes to run through my head. And it sounds kind of morbid, sorry about that but that is probably one of the reasons I remember it so well, that and that the face that I was absolutely terrified when I woke up.

xxombie:

I've had quite a few zombie dreams in the past few months, but didn't consider any of them nightmares. The one that was most obviously about zombies was a few months ago.

I was in a grocery store, but the front part was actually a friends house. I opened the front door to see a zed staring right at me from the front porch. Lucky, they were the slow kind and I managed to beat him down with a broom. We shut the door and managed to push some shelves from the grocery store in the back up against it.The next thing I can remember we were in a feild and in the middle of it was an old friend/girlfriends house with nothing else around it. The scene reminded me of the house from the original Night of the Living Dead. We go up to the house but turn around to see a zombie, so I bash it in with a baseball bat that was conveniently leaning up against the house. We go to the front door where my friends family is there and seem to be obvlivious to the zombie attack. I ask if my friend is there but she isn't, so we all just forget about the zombies and watch TV with her little sister.


Another dream that I had last night revolved more about survival then anything else. I warn you, it has some very bizzare parts.

A bunch of people, including myself were running from a mall filled with zombies. A handfull of us managed to escape by running through an old warehouse and we met up in a feild on the other side. We decide we need to find food and shelter from the zombies so we walk through farmers feild and such for a while untill we find this weird looking farmhouse. One of the buildings was like a round house and the door was at least ten meters high and it was just a big round hole.

We got closer and a snail of all things pokes his head out and tell us we can hide around back. We start to follow orders but I somehow realize that if we go around back he will just eat us. Just then I see another, larger group of what look like menonites. We tell them to go around back so the giant snail will eat them and we somehow kill it while he is doing so. We then see a group of ghouls in the distance so we hide in the zombies shell, where some boy who is apparently my boyfriend or something (he wasn't someone I knew IRL) handed out little portion stamps like food stamps and we all ate a portion of the snail.

We decide to head out and I tell this guy that I'm with that I need to go to a nearby town to pick up some of my friends. So away we go, and after some walking we get to a small creek and I see a great big blue heron fly down and land in the water. Deciding it would make a delicious treat I try to hit it with my bow and arrow. Unfortunately, I suck some serious ass at archery and can't hit it. Just then a friend of mine comes up to me and starts bragging about how good he is at archery so I let him try and we carry it back to town. On our way back I notice a small settlement across the river. We get there and there are a bunch of my friends at a place downtown where lots of people hang out. I tell everyone we have to be quiet or we will attract zombies. I also seemed to think the other settlement was hostile and would attack us if we were too lousd. The town seems to be on the way back to reval, a coffee shop is open and people are openly walking around. I then procede to gouge the eyeballs out of the bird that we caught. End dream.

I don't remember being scared or anything when I woke up.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I allways have had dreams about zombies. Nightmares, sometimes, but mostly the whole survival thing. But, it allways ends up the same. We (survivors and I) allways end up trapped in an old school farm house like in the N.o.t.L.D..

Example:

I was at work, on an overcast day in fall. I work at a medical school, so any chance that I get I avoid the gross lab(morgue) I take without question. But today, I had to do inventory on the body monitors. Now, the lab itself is about 75 feet long or so, with coutless steel boxes full of embalming fluid and death, and the smell it atrocious.
Well, I begin to do inventory, when one of the steel boxes rattle and fall over. Body fluid and formaldehyde spill everywhere. As I look up, this horrid "human" with no skin begins to run at me full speed. I grab the closest thing to me (a beaker I think) and jam it into his forehead right when he gets to me. Before I know it, all the boxes are falling over and spilling out hordes of the undead. The doctors know not what to hing, and panic hits them, you could see it in their face. They were boned, royaly.
I make it to my father's office (we work together) and he is allready aware of the situation. My dad is a real life ex marine Viet Nam vet, so he was born ready for this kinda thing. He allways, in every dream, follows me with some kind of assult rifle and blasts the damn things down. I tell him we need to find my girlfriend and my brothers.
Long story short, we do find them after alot of carnage and bad noise. Then, we all somehow end up in thei labrynth/laboratory thing, with some national guard dudes and what looks like martial law enforcers, and we all seem fairly FUBAR at the time, injured and battle worn. We stay in this lab and fight off any zeds that can make their way in.
After this, we hitch a ride to the country, were one of us usually goes crazy and lets the zeds into the barricade, killing all the other survivors.

Even though all my zed dreams are different, they all have the same similar traits:

My dad kicking ass
Me running for safety
My woman and brothers allways get found unharmed
The labrynth/lab with the soldiers
Finally, the country house, and we may find a few more survivors, but all is tragedy in the end.

Post Scriptum; This one time, my bro Ben told me of a dream similar, but in the end one zombie gets through the barricade. All the other survivors begin to trip out as this slow moving(unlike my zeds)moaning undead creature makes it's way to the house. So, the others set a fire to keep it away. ben gets pissed off at their stupidity, goes to the zed, hits him with a brick in the head and exclaims "It's ONE retarted zombie!!" and scorns the others for their stupid actions.
Just thought that was funny

ZS207-My zombie dreams usually have a happy ending!!!1
It starts with me in school, a perfectly normal day when the School Secretary announces on the intercom,"Students, we are going into a code red lockdown!Stay in your rooms!Stay in your........Arghhhhhhhhh! the thing bit me!!!!!arghhhhhhhhhh..........My group of friends who had, for so long doubted myramblings about zombies looked at me with that looked that said"You were right, all along............."The school knows that this is no ordinary lockdown......My teacher wants to stay in the room and barricade.I keep on telling him/her about zombies,telling her to get out while we had the chance.I left the room with 10 other students.We are running out the door and I saw the military killing zombies.I hear a scream. The others continue running.I run back inside to see the girl i have a secret crush on and 3 zombie kindergarteners. I kick them aside and pick her up.Her ankles were broken. I find 20 soldiers guarding a ambulance filled with people with broken bones.I am drenched in blood from the hellish specacle.The soldiers point their guns at me...................and lower them when they see i am carrying a person.The commanding officer walks out to help, but I just put her down and took 2 steps away.Everything goes dark and I hear a voice say"O my God!look at the kid!I awaken 3 months later. I open my eyes and see her and the commanding officer.She is completely healed.The officer says the virus is quarentined and I was on a truck heading to a new base.I pass by familiar place and thought something was missing........My house!!!!It is ruined!!!A few burned timbers was all that remained of my house.I get out of my truck.My Reanimated family surrounds me.............And are all cut down....I just sit there, bowed in silence..............................The officer says that he is sorry and that we had to move on......Everything goes black and I wake up in a military base...With my love watching over me in a chair.........and I was content, when all of a sudden, my school friends come in.......

fawksy - this is a dream I had recently. I was in a parking lot of a mall, and I was trying to fill my car's windshield washer fluid when zombies attacked some people nearby. There was only a few of them, and a bunch were dressed like characters from the original Star Trek. the one dressed as Captain Kirk was trying to attack me, and I was fighting him off when I woke up.

My nightmare was a 2 parter. This happened about the time snakes on a plane was in theaters. The first part was Sam Jackson in the loby of a fancy hotel somewhere in a large city. He was shooting zombies but was soon overwhelemed and was forced to retreat into the bathroom and that is where they got him. The second part was me on the middle of a parking ramp and the zombies were geting to where I was fast. I was forced to move up and I was stuck, the only options were go down into the crowd and get eaten alive or jump to my death. I am afraid of heights so the decision was tough to make but I chose the jump to my death, I though I had a better chance of surviveing if I landed on something soft. I woke up mid fall. -GrantHatman

ZEROFLY- I've only had two zombie related dreams in my entire life. The first one didn't scare me, but was actually amusing. The second one though, struck so much fear into my heart, that I woke up during the night in a sweat. Let's start with the first dream. It consists of myself, my two friends and my brother. This didn't scare me because I knew it wasn't real. In the dream, it was a virtual simulator zombie game that allowed you to play out the zombie game in your mind in cyber space. We all logged in and we were in a city. Our goal was to get to an airport and evacuate in a small plane. As we started our journey we encountered some zombies and quickly killed them. These were runners mind you, but I wasn't scared. I knew it wasn't real and we had automatic rifles. As we turned a corner we were confronted by hordes of zombies and they all ran at us full speed. We turned around and ran down the street shooting behind us. My friend Scott got stuck on some barbed wire in the street, and he just told us to go on withouth him. We ran into the building next to him and we could hear gunfire out on the streets suddenly stop. As we got to the roof (our checkpoint) we saw the zipline waiting for us that lead to the airstrip. As we were gearing up, our friend Scott emerged onto the roof. We said hello and then realized he was a zombie. He ran at us and I started shooting, but it was too late. He tackled my brother and they both went tumbling off the roof down onto the concreate below. This was a 6 story building I'm guessing. So my friend and I went down the line and got to the airstrip. Waiting for us were hordes of the undead, and a jeep. We got in and he got the gun. As we drove down the strip my friend was shooting everything in sight until we got to the plane. As we got near the plane, we were almost surrounded. Zombies everywhere only a couple hundred yards off running at us. I got in the plane first to start the engine while he held them back. Once started he started to get in when he got grabbed around the ankle. I started down the runway full speed and actually took off. He was holding on and so was the zombie. He finally told me to finish the level so we could win this thing, and he let go. Both he and the zombie fell thousands of feet to the ground. Awesome. What was funny was that there was a zombie in the plane with me, and as I neared the destination, it attacked me, causing the plane to crash. Game Over.

Z13: For some reason, I was already a zombie and ate all my friends......thats about it =/


GrantHatman I had another one last night. You know the show Metalocalypse? Well Dethklok was at my grandma's house for some odd reason. They had a black guy and a white guy named Sock there. There was a zombie lord guy in my grandma's shed and they would go in one by one to go and beat up the zombie lord, but they were captured, but not eaten yet. Then I was there and this little gobliny dude rated me out and I ran behind the garage. The zombie lord guy sent some zombies after me and when they got ahold of me, I turned into Lucky Charms and reformed back into myself and they would keep on comeing after me and I would keep on turning into Lucky Charms cerial. That is probably the most, screwed up dream I have ever had.

I usualy have ones somewhat action packed but run of the mill, but right after "Land of the Dead" ... something terrible happened..

I ran into a house, long abandoned and barely holding itself together. The windows and door were already boarded but just with crumbling plywood and pressboard. The inside looked weather beaten from exposure. The undead were beating on the windows and door, I stuck a screwdriver threw the boarded up screendoor handle. There was no sign of a more solid door anymore.
I started to back into the room to the left of the front door, hoping to find something to block their path or even a way out, as the screendoor was starting to give way. It looked like it was once a bedroom but not it was just a mess of broken furniture and aged posters. Before I realized I'd trapped myself on one side by a wall and the other by debris the zombies broke through and headed at shambling speed toward me.
They were right on top of me when the two closest suddenly stopped and started to have a conversation about the posters on the wall, blocking the path of the rest of the hungry horde. I was confused for a second but then I remembered Romero ruined the zombies, I was pissed, and if I wanted to get out I'd have to sweet talk the two in front of me.
I entertained their musings on the 1980's rocker posters hanging on the wall. We seemed to be getting along ok.. but when I finaly got up the courage to ask if they would let me by, they bit my face off.. literaly.

I always have the same nightmare, not constantly, but whenever I have a nightmare, this is the one.

I wake up in the morning, my parents are sitting in the kitchen, eyes glued to the television, watching the news of the ZDay (which happened that morning). They inform me and we decide to pack up and drive somewhere safe. We take my younger brother and our dog, along with lots of food and supplies. We make it out of the house and head towards the local gas station. There, my dad is filling up the car when a zombie attacks and infects him. Unfortunately, these are the screamer zombies from the 28 Days/Weeks Later movies, so we decide to forget the gas and get the hell out of there.
The city is in ruins by now and there seems to be no survivors except me and my mom, brother, and dog. My mom is uncontrollably crying and my brother and hugging my dog like his teddy bear. We finally get out of the town and head toward the north-east Vermont area. After we have made it to our "safe-zone". We are met by other surviving families that lived in nearby towns. (This is where is gets to the terrible part, in which I soon wake up).
After we have established our living quarters, our borders, and other areas in the "safe-zone", we realize that one of the young boys we had met up with had gone missing. My brother volunteers to look for him and reluctantly, I agree to let him go. Time goes by, about 30 minutes, and then he appears again, but with blood pouring out of his arm and a red eyed child chasing after him. The two of them then infect all of the other people, while I stay towards the back and watch my mother get eaten alive by my brother. I then notice a gun sitting on the table, realized that I am ultimately screwed, I take the gun and I run towards the cars, get inside the biggest one there, lock the doors, and wait. I wait until one of the infected manages to break through the glass, and then, I wake up.

It is not so much that the goreness frightens me, because it isn't. The fact is, I couldn't kill a family member, no matter how desperate I am, I just couldn't. Apparently, when I wake up, it is because I have pulled the gun on myself. I know that this dream isn't necesarilly as scary as some others, but I have is maybe 1-2 times a week and it differs in how long it lasts each time.


The Professional: ** Traveling with a small group of survivors through Russia, we were just hit hard by a winter strom and had to find a place to stay for the night. Being that there were no nearby buildings to hide in we had to secure our location out in the open. Our best solution was to jump over a barb wire fence and use it as our only barricade. Morale was low, lack of food, constant travel and wet clothing had caused us all to reach our limits. A fire was constructed around a thick portion of the wooded area to try and block as much light as possible. In the middle of the night, we were attacked by a group of Ragers. We could see them screaming down the path we had just come from, somehow they followed us without us knowing because they knew exactly where we were. Ragged clothing, torn and frostbitten flesh marked them as what they were, not to mention the high pitched screams that they emitted. Everything that slowed us down did nothing to hinder their assasult. The first two stumbled over ther fence and tore it down, leaving the rest to come without hesitation. The group broke up instantly, as the others who maintained thier composure were quickly devoured. I was among the group that ran and as I hear the shrill cry of a Rager, I turn around and find one barreling down on me. I quickly take what is left of my sanity, composure and will to live to strike the Rager. As my fist connects with its jaw I wake up.**

The most frightening part about this was the fact that we were completely vulnerable. They seemed to know exactly when to attack as though they had logic and reasoning like any strategic planner. This dream forever changed my views about the zombie outbreak. From this point it has always been in my thoughts that zombies, like humans, have a collective thought. Something that binds them and calls for the survival of their own kind. Which is why you don't seem many zombies eating other zombies. It almost seems that they work together in some morbid "hive" like manner.
