Hi everyone. I had a totaly crazy dream 2 nights ago, Id like to share with you all. I kinda wish I had picked a different name for this board, cause it will only make you guys think Im crazy all the more, but here goes anyway......


First let me say that for the past 4 years or so I have been having these insane Zombie dreams, like dawn of the dead type scenes. For the first couple years I woke up terrified. But I had so many of them that now when I wake from them Im not the least bit concerened. Its actualy become kinda a joke between me and my friends. But this dream was different, it had much detail, and a amazing twist. Anyhow, here it is.


Me and a few friends of mine are out bird hunting, when we come apon this bar in the middle of the woods. So we go inside, still holding our guns (and no one seemed to care) and we start shooting birds from outta there window. So I got this bird in my sights when I see a helicoptor landing in a field next to the bar we were in. And I hear what sounds like some kinda loud speaker anouncing (of course) that zombies had taken over the surounding area, and that the helicoptor was there to start taking people to a safe place. So we all rush out side but by the time we got the the helicoptor, it was already full. They said they would be back, but they never did come back. Next thing I know somehow we got to this town, and in the middle of that town were these 2 mansions. Everyone there was going into them and preparing for the on coming zombie attack. So (Im now by myself) choose the one to the left of me to seek protection. So we start boarding up the windows, ect ect, when suddenly the people in the other mansion try to wage a war against us in the other mansion (why? I have no idea) but we litteraly destroyed them. Just as the battle was ending, everyone starts hearing terrible zombie noises, so obviously we knew they had reached us. So we all run back to the mansion we originaly were in, and I go down into the basement to be certain there is no way in from down there. So when I get down there I discover a huge hole in the wall, and all there was inside of the hole was blackness. So I think to myself that I better check make sure there is no way in from this hole. Bravely I go into the hole and walked probably about 50 yards or so when I hear this terrible screaming noise, very close to me. So I turn around and start running back to the hole in the wall, and what ever made the scream was following me, and is pissed off. So I get back to that room, run up this set of stairs, and enter another room, which looked like a large bed room. As I was shutting the door behind me, I took a peek to see if that thing was still following me. It wasnt, it was killing the other folks in the building. And now I could get a good look at it. It wasnt a zombie, but it looked more like a very large demon. I knew it was only a matter of time till this thing found me. I shut the door and turn around, and there stands my wife on the other side of this very large bed room. We just look at each other as the first loud bang on the door happens. Then its fist punches through the door. So I turn to look at my wife again, when suddenly we begin to rise right off the floor,(as this happens my wifes face just begins to shine, like she was more happy then she had ever been) then through the ceiling(without making a hole in it), then through the clouds. Next thing I realize is im in this gigantic white room with a enormous dinner table that must have seated 100 people. The table was full of people from all parts of the earth. Some chinesse, some black, some white, ect ect. At the head of the table sat this man who looked like what you would picture santa claus to look like, in mid july. No shirt, balding greatly, very large, and kinda hairy, he was only wearing a par of shorts. Though that isnt the picture of what God would look like in my mind, I knew instantly that it was him. So I go walking over to him, and as I stood before him, I could just feel his love for me. Instantly I called out "Father", and I put my arms around him, and he says to me "welcome son". As we are in this embrace, I think to my self, "you had better recognize" and I dropped to my knees and began to worship him. With his pointer finger he lifts up my head and says to me, "Im going to send you back to testify of my coming, and to testify of my truth" Suddenly BAM, Im right back at that mansion. I arive to find pure insanity. Zombies are eating peoples heads off, Long story short, I knew nearly everyone was already dead. But myself I feel like nothing could touch me (though I didnt know that for sure) So I leave the mansion as start walking down the street. Its the same sceen out there dead people, blood, screaming, ect ect every where. So I start yelling to everyone that the Lord was coming, but no one seemed to care, they were to busy running for there lifes (the ones who remained) then I woke.

I know some folks here understand dreams, thought I would get some insight if possible. Thanks ahead of time.

COOOOL DREAM!!! I love those action movie type dreams.

IMO, (someone probably has a different take on it) is that it was simply a dream. Are you particularly worn out lately? My mind gets like this.. goes into over drive, and I have very active dreams. That was for the first part of your dream.

The second part of your dream with "father". He sent you back to zombie land; rather than you waking up - so I am thinking he is part of the dream and represents salvation in the midst of your (possibly) chaotic or confusing or conflicting life right now.

Just a possible answer.

Howdy preacherman.

Your dream is not at all crazy, on the contrary, it has a lot of well-crafted structure, and is built up from several individual frequently encountered dream motifs. It also incorporates some obvious pop culture references and conventional religious imagery.

Since your dream is only two days old, this is a little speculative, but you have an unusual opportunity that you might want to follow up on.

Thiis could well be a "big dream" (searchable) in Carl Jung's sense. If it is, then you are going to be thinking about it for years, decades, to come. It has the rich symbolism and grandeur of subject matter typical of those.

What I recommend, then, is to do yourself what may turn out to be a big favor and document this dream as thoroughly as you can while it is still fresh. As lengthy as your written report already is, go over it and see whether there might be a few details you have omitted. If you can draw, then draw some pictures Like modeling clay? Now would be a good time to get your hands dirty.

Make like Richard Dreyfus in Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Chances are good that you'll be glad you did.

What you're going to be doing several years from now, if it is a big dream, is still working out interpretations, of which there may be several, all of them valid. So, the more fresh source material you have, the better you'll do.

Nicely dreamt. Good hunting.

i wish i had more dreams like that
if you have a lot of dreams like this [zombies] then please post them
i love me a good zombie story
lol
but seriously plz post more of your dreams

Thanks for the replys Guys. Im going to take your advise eight, though I cant draw worth a crap, Im going to write it all down again. There were some other parts, but buy the time I wrote this, some of it was getting kinda foggy.

Outta all the dreams I've had there are 2 others that are close to equal. To you they might be more than equal, its just meeting God in my dream topped them all for me. I'll give you the first zombie dream I ever had, the one that terrified me the most. I litteraly jumped outta bed thinking I was still in the dream. I will be right back.

At the time I had my first zombie dream, I was working in this grocery store in upstate NY, and was dating this head cheerleader type chic.



Ok so the dream starts out that me and this little blond chic are in my car in this giant parking lot, in the middle of the night. We are under the only street light in the whole place. We sat there talking (about what I have no idea) when suddenly It looked like there were thousands of people in a giant circle around us. They were very far away, just entering the circle of light we were under, but still like 50 yards away or so. As they get closer to us I can see that something just isnt right. So I try to start the car, and of course no go. I look out again and can clearly see that they are zombies. Not dawn of the dead type zombies, but night of the living dead type, very slow moving, dragging one leg ect. So I move to lock all the doors, and get 3 of them locked, I go to get the last one (back seat driver side) when they open it. This little old lady comes diving in, and the rest accidentaly close the door in there lathargic(sp?) zombie way. So I reach over real quick like and lock the last door. So the zombies out side the car begin to rock the car, but kinda weak like, I didnt think they were evn strong enough to turn us over. So I turn my attention to the zombie lady in the back seat. I quickly grab her by her throat and begin to punch her in the face. Accept I cant get a good one in, its like in slow motion. So I really consintrate(sp?) and Im starting to hit her really hard. But she just takes the blows and turns back smiling at me, every time.

Suddenly Im not in the car anymore but Im in the back room of the grocery store I worked in, fully geared for work, apron, box cutter in the front pocket, ect ect. But some how I new the whole zombie sceen wasnt over, and they were on there way. The back of the store had two long hallways that met together forming a large L shape, with exits at the top of the L, and at the end of the bottom. ( there is acualy another right at were the halls meet, but not in my dream) So I go running around the corner, and the nigh manager was sitting doing paper work. I scared her really bad running by her and she screams. So I stop, and say to her, "lady Im the least of your problems, come on, we gotta get outta here". So she gets up and we start to leave , when this kid I knew who worked with me opens the door at the top of the L shape. He is totaly zombied out. Moving tward us all lathargic. So I think to myself, that there is only one of them, and I can take him out. Then maybe we could board up the doors or something. So as he gets closer to us, I take out my box cutter and run tward him. Im about to slice him wide open when he yells out "STOP", I was just kidding" he says, and smiles and laughs at me. We both start laughing, and for the first time I felt safe, like it was all a joke. Then from both exits they start pooring in, hundreds of them. We have no place to go. So As I examine the situation, I see that the ones to the left of me seem to be smaller. So I say to the kid, and the manager, "follow me" I raise my box cutter in the air, and start running tward them. Im going to try a bull my way through them and through the door to get out of this trap. As I go to swing my cutter on the first one, I wake up. I litteraly jump outta bed, still thinking Im there, and it took me probably 5 seconds to realize that none of it actualy happened.

I dont have enough time to tell you the other big one I had, as its pretty long and drawn out. I'll tell that one tommaro. But I had this other dream I wanted to run by you guys. It doesnt have anything to do with zombies though, but it was one to remember, at least for me. And its a quick one.

I dreamed I was in a big city. I was on the first floor of a very large building, looking out the window. Suddenly I see this giant tsunami coming striaght at me. It was pretty far away still, I figured I had maybe a full min till it got to me.The wave was higher than every building, and I knew it was going to destroy the whole city, and that I would certainly die. So this bald guy comes running in the room and yells to me "come on, we gotta get outta here". So I say to him, "brother there isnt any place to go" And suddenly this peace came over me as I fully accepted our demise. So I reach out my hands to him, and ask him to pray with me. He grabs my hands, and I begin "our Father who is in heaven, hallowed be thy name," when the wave comes crashing over us. The window I was looking out stayed in tacked, and we were completly submerged in water. I hear the building break off at one of the floors above us. But no harm had come to us. I watched as the water slowly lowered, till it was all gone. So I open the back door leading to the outside, thinking to my self that I had to go find my wife and my son. But when I got to the outside, there were people laying all over the place. Most of them dead. As I go to leave, I see right at my feet 2 small children still alive, but baddly hurt. So I say to myself, "I cant leave them", so I grap each one and put them over my shoulders, and beging running down the street. Then I woke up.

That one took a few seconds to realize it didnt happen to. It was almost enlightening.

maybey you dreamt about this because you heard about a tsunami on the news or something
were there any major tsunamis around the time of this dream

Not that I can think of, it was about 6 months ago.

Ok, I finnaly got some time to tell the other dream I had.

This was about 3 years ago, me and my wife were in the process of building our house.

I dreamed I was on my property, digging a hill down by hand with a shovel. As Im digging, I come across a dead body. It looked like a teenage girl, with blond hair. Needless to say I was horrified, but Somehow I knew that even though she was dead, I could still save her. So I quickly begin to take her up outta the ground. My wife (who is 7 months prego at the time) runs over and helps me to uncover her. Somehow she knew as well that this girl could be saved. Suddenly this terrible feeling comes over me, I look up my driveway (which is long and up hill) and see a army of skelitons(sp?) marching inunison tward us fast. I dont know how many here saw the movie The Mummy, but they looked like those skeletons, lots of them, maybe 50. So I grab my wife by the hand, and we run into the woods. I knew they would be faster than us, considering my wifes being prego and all, so I decided it would be best to hide in a tree. I Pull her up this tree, and we sit as still as possible. I can still see my yard from where we sat, and as they came into my yard 10 or so of them broke off, and circled the dead girl with there backs tward her, as though they were garding her. The rest of them then just started running into the woods where we were. I watched as they ran right under us. One of them leaped up and landed right in the tree we were hiding in, on the branch above us. I looked up, and he was looking out for us into the woods, trying to get a birds eye view. Then he began to sniff loudly, as though he could smell us right under him. Then he jumped of the tree, and keep going in to the woods. So I look back tward my yard, and there is this guy who for some reason looked very powerful, walked over to the 10 garding the dead body. He was talking to them (saying what I dont know) when one of the skelitons he was talking to pointed tward the woods we were in. AT that point I knew that this guy was in charge of them. So he glances up tward the woods we were in and stairs me directly in the face, spotted me right out.

Next thing I know the whole scene changes. Im in the city (I assume NY) And that guy is chasing me. But now he is surrounded by a swirling smoke, mixed with what looked like thousands of pieces of broken glass, in a giant ball around him. I run into a building, and just start running from room to room trying to get away. But as I leave one room, he enters behind me, glass and smoke every where. So I finnaly make my way out to this parking lot, I run to the center of it, and realize the whole parking lot is fenced in, no way out. So I turn around, and there he is, walking tward me with this evil grin on his face.I knew that confrontation was unavoidable at this point, and believe me when I say, I was terrified. As he aproached me, he put his hands up in the air, and the smoke and glass that was around him began to form into a ball between his hands. He lifted it over his head, and I knew he was going to throw it at me, and cut me to shreds. At that point though still terrified, I accepted this was my end. So I say out load, the first thing that came to my head, just as he threw the ball of smoke and glass. I said "In Jesus name I rebuke you. But very timidly. Just after I said that, the ball, which was now flying tward me, just stopped midway between us, and a look of concern came over him. So I say it again, but now from a possition of strength. The ball of smoke and glass then begins to shoot back tward him, I watch as his face and clothes rip to shreds, then I woke up.

Crazy dream right?

considering the jesus part im gonna go ahead and say this may be about you and your struggle with your faith in that you cant decide wether or not you believe

Maybe, though at the time I had rededicated my life to him, and the dream kinda helped me rationalize my trying to be closer to him.

I told the dream to this guy I know, and he broke it down like this. I dont know if this is true or not.

The dead girl was the world, the people who hadnt given there lifes to Christ (Im not preaching here, Im just telling you a possible interpretation)

Me pulling her out was symblisim of trying to bring life to people through the word.(remember she was dead, but somehow still alive)

The army that garded her, was Satan, trying to stop me from recovering more souls

Same with him chasing me, keeping me on the defensive

And in the end Christ will accomplish what he was sent to do, despite Satans efforts, for either my life, or on a more grand scale.

I thought that was a interesting interpretation.

Zombie dreams make up a lot of my dreams. Really, all of my dreams would be nightmares to other people, but I am so used to the horror that they are regular dreams for me now. The only advice I can offer you, from years of studying sleep patterns and dreaming, is that we dream about what is in our subconscious. Therefore, if you are a zombie fan, like I am, then you probably have zombies on the brain quite a bit. I have personally come to embrace my nightmares, for it is like watching a really good horror movie that hasn't been made. IF you are a horror fan too, I would say embrace yours too, because you will never see that kind of originality in Hollywood. But if you're not a horror fan and you are reluctant to go to sleep at night because of your dreams, well I really don't have any advice. Sorry.

Either way, good luck!

You know I have only had two zombie dreams I can think of, but I had a group of friends in high school that used to come to me for dream analysis that had reacurring zombie dreams all the time. I never really figured out what they meant.

In my dreams god is a midget.
