Okay  I did use the search function and if this topic has been raised, I failed to find it, so if this thread is a repeat, sorry.   

So... anybody have dreams about the zombie apocalypse? 

I've had two. 

 

DREAM ONE 

 

In this dream, the ZA is well underway.  The zombies, however, are incredibly weak and very very slow to be much of a a threat, at least not in the same way that they are in the comic or TV show. They are more of an "ongoing health concern" or something like that. 

Airports, for example are still operational and life is going on more or less normal, though citizens are urged to carry a stick or a blunt weapon of some sort and are encouraged to kill the zombies when they see them. They're pretty easy to kill because, again, these zombies are incredibly wimpy and  kind of a joke, really. 

 

I get on a plane and fly to California to see a Jazz musician who has the answer about why the dead are returning to life. I get there and we chat for a while. and he introduces me to this woman who also has answers. She  brings me to the desert, which is apparently where it all started and she explains the origin if it. 

 

Eventually I'm back at the airport, when I realize I left my android at the jazz  musician's house.  I'm about to call him when I suddenly realize that I don't even know his name. Nobody in this dream has a name.  I find my android  somehow and I   I'm back on the plane at the dream's end. 

 

DREAM TWO

 

In this dream, the "rules" are pretty much the same as the comic- but only to an extent.  Anyone who dies will come back as a walker, and the zombies are dangerous yes, but somehow the situation is under control. 

 

Somehow, the government has found a way to manage the situation- or at least we think so. I'm on a church van with a bunch of people I don't know, headed I don't know where. I get the sense that it's some kind of recreational trip (we're not fleeing for our lives).   John Lithgow is driving the van. For some reason, we have to pull over and there on the side of the road are a bunch of walkers. And the walkers are mostly small children. 

 

Strangely enough, none of my ZA  dreams contain any characters from the TV show or the comic. Serious.

Shield yourself from those not bound to you by steel, for they are the blind. Aid them when you can, but lose not sight of yourself.

I actually had freaky dream a couple of days ago, I can't remember it all but I'm pretty sure that I was basically with TWD Ricks group and we made it into this warehouse place and loads of zombies overrun the warehouse, we kill a few, make it into another room and the zombies breakdown the door and then Tyreese sacrifices him so that everyone else could escape. Then I woke up like.....wtf just happened.

The best part about your dreams is John Lithgow driving the church van. I've never had full blown ZA dreams, but when I was younger and still living at my folks house I had a dream where a zombie was standing outside of my bedroom door. Nothing else happened, but it was a pretty realistic dream haha.

Interesting. At least you got to hang out with the walking dead crew in your dream haha. I got a bunch or random strangers and John Lithgow.

Yeah, that was pretty odd, but pretty cool lol.   Dexter (showtime original) was the last thing I saw him in. Not sure why he'd been in a dream about the zombie apocalypse, but it's interesting. 

 

Sounds like your dream was kinda creepy.

"There's no "I" in team" 

"Yeah, there's no "U" either. So I guess if I'm not on the team, and you're not on the team, nobody's on the God damn team. The team sucks!"

Don't know why, but the zombies in my dream are usually weak and slow.

 

Kinda odd.

I only had a couple of zombie dreams, most memorable one is extremely short and unexplainable. I was in a wooden house in a forrest near a cliff shooting a massive hoard of zombies with an RPG. I don't know how I got there or why but I can relate dreaming the RPG with being fascinated by the sounds and animations of RPG in far cry 2. The dream lasted only a few seconds but was satisfying.

Yeah, I think it was done a long time ago

 

. I've had the usual "wake up freaking with the sound of the door creaking".

 

One that stuck in my mind was where I had been being chased, got caught, and turned- but it turned out I was the only smart zombie and all the other brainless ones kept hanging around me being annoying to try and get me to help them find people to eat. In the end I somehow tricked them into a giant meat-grinder operated by human survivors, just to get some peace and quiet.

Okay, this one happened last night, and was so clear I've got to put it down.

 

It was actually "28 Days Later" during the evacuation of London. I was moving with a huge crowd through Heathrow Airport, where I haven't been in years. People were anxious and hurrying, but not panicky, even though you could hear the howls of the Infected outside. There's one scary scene where we have to pass one of those long metal shutter doors and you can see it buckling from the pounding and scratching outside. I got onto the last plane, and as it was taking off I could see the Infected break out of the terminal and on to the runway, but too late- we got away.

 

The American representative on the plane (we're being evacuated to the States) gives a speech about he hopes we all settle down and assimilate and become good Americans; then the French representative stands up and says mais non, we must maintain our British identity and prepare to retake our homeland, "There'll always be an England" , and gets a tremendous cheer. But I hear him mutter to an aide (fortunately in English) "We must get into England before the Americans and Chinese take it all"

 

Then we land in the US, go through disinfection, showers etc and are assigned to new jobs.  It shifts into the third person and it turns out the Dreamer is actually a playwright and theatre director who, along with two young assistants, is assigned to be the assistant sales manager for gardening supplies (this is actually written down) at an American megastore. The whole thing shifts into a transatlantic comedy of manners as a hardass female executive (Dawn?) tries to explain the corporate rules and is met with typical British drollery.

 

Then I wake up thinking what the hell was that?

Kinda odd.

Sounds like the ones from the movie "Autumn", a British production set in Canada, where the zombies start out slow and helpless and are just pushed out of the way, but gradually become more malevolent as autumn turns to winter- sloooooowly.

Have you seen it? (If the answer is 'no', don't bother.)

I have only ever had one zombie dream but it wasn't that interesting. I just remember running and trying to climb over some fences.

Off topic slightly but I once had a really surreal dream where I was outside of a safari park and this soccer mom got out of her car and tasered me. I can't remember why she did it but I remember waking up feeling the zap from the taser. So yeah, I now believe I know what it feels like to be tasered.

I had a dream the other night, can't remember most of it but couldn't forget this part. I was with my mother and there was this female TWD like zombie just standing there. For some reason my mother thought it would be a good idea put a cigarette in it's mouth. So the zombie bit her hand while she was trying to do that. I had to chop off her hand but couldn't do it. :/

I honestly can't say I recall ever dreaming about a ZA situation. Most dreams I have about horror-movie time situations are actually comedic, like every dream I've ever had about Freddy Krueger: he's always doing something hilarious.

 

Most of my apocalyptic nightmares involve nuclear annihilation. As someone who recalls my cold-war fears of the early 1980's well, I'd say that's understandable.

I've actually had dreams about the end of the world for as long as I can remember. I kept journals about them and the first entry was when I was 10, I'm 34 now and still have them. They are so vivid and most times very bleak and despairing. One was just me standing in a frozen wasteland of destroyed buildings and snow covered corpses. I was standing there watching snow and ash fall from a black sky. Others involve zombies, a nuclear blast, a government experiment gone wrong, you name it I've dreamed it.

One that was especially scary started just as zombies began to spread and all hell was breaking loose in the city. People were scrambling for any way out while me and a group manage to get to two idle Hummers. We crashed our way through buildings and walkers to get out of the city. It had all the action of a Michael Bay film and I was out of breathe when I woke up. Crazy huh? Some of the best ideas I get for my writing has come from my dreams.

Wow your apocalytic dreams are more exciting than mine! Ha!

 

My ZA dreams seem to be heavily influenced by a combination of watching too much Walking Dead and playing Dead Rising 2 a little too much. In Dead Rising 2, the zombies are kinda slow and weak.

 

The danger comes from the fact that there's so many of them.

 

In my dreams, the zombies are slow and weak, yet seem pretty spread out.

Man, I had the worst ZA dream the other night. There were unrelated things that went on before this, but the relevant part in terms of the ZA (and TWD in particular) is that I ended up locked in a room by the Terminites, and I knew I was going to be eaten. For some reason, no one else in the house understood this, but I was able to talk to my mom, and I emphatically said, "Call the police!"  Like there would be cops anywhere. Very funny mix of ZA and normal life.
