I wish I had zombie dreams, that would be fun. I did dream I got locked into this weird yuppie nightmare mall and couldn't get out, that was unsettling.

YES recently had loads of lucid zombie dreams and they've all been fab. probably due to the stupidly over the top zombie craze that I am currently going through.

when i have them, it's not a result of watching a recent zombie flick.

i wonder what they mean.......?

― Ste (Fuzzy), Monday, 21 June 2004 14:34 (twenty-two years ago)

I had a zombie dream last night... it started off as leprosy cos I'd been reading about it during the day and then it pretty quickly turned into a Shaun of the Dead/bored at work/commuting-type thing. I enjoyed it - much more fun than commuting anyway, obviously. I wasn't fighting the zombies, just trying to get away from them without too much fuss. There was an extended sequence on the Northern Line. I should find a more fulfilling and closer-to-home job, it seems.

I've just broken my promise never to reveal my dreams to anybody.

We need a dream-multi-link-adapter so that we could team up and 'wup some ass'. Then we could get dressed and go kill some zombies.

The only zombie dream I ever had was also the only truly lucid dream.

why would you promise to never reveal yer dreams¿

― dyson (dyson), Monday, 21 June 2004 14:49 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, I have these every once in a while, and they are some of my most vivid dreams. And long. Fucking long. Zombie dreams are the only dreams where it seems like days will have lapsed and I'll wake up exhausted.

my whole family
turned to zombie one by one,
one dream for each night

they came after me,
had to fight off zombie dad
and then zombie mom

my brothers: easy,
just as dumb as zombies as
they're smart in real life

dyson: My parents (and grandparents) read a lot of Freud and even though they didn't believe all of it, if anyone ever told them a dream they would instantly remember what Freud said about the relevant bits of symbolism. And mercilessly tease whoever it was. So when my cousin came over and told us that she dreamt about her teeth falling out, we all pissed ourselves laughing. Poor woman.

So although I don't believe in literal symbolic translations (eg. train != sex necessarily, you might be thinking about actual trains - or maybe trains have their own personal symbolism to you, or maybe it's just a secondary element behind the emotions you're experiencing while you're dreaming, or all of the above plus a whole lifetime's worth of experiences to cross-reference), I'm still reluctant to opening myself to it.

Freud would probably translate my zombie/commuting dream as having little to do with commuting and everything to do with fear of being overly mechanical/zombified in bed, or something. Or maybe I'm projecting my own fears about that onto my guess at what Freud would have said...

Oh god... see what happens?

I had a zombie dream when I was about nine or ten. I dreamed that the land for about fifty feet around my house had been excavated to the depth of three or four feet, and that there were hundreds or thousands of broken, bleached bones with viscera sometimes dangling. Triple-sized anacondas, with girths of 35 inches were circling through the yard and little oilfires burned everywhere. I had my dog with me, and as we tried to cross to the front door she was pulled under by the freakish flesh-hanging arms. As soon as I got inside all the half-skeletons reanimated and begin scratching at the windows, which an oneiric someone had thoughtfully barred. The front-half of my dog pulled herself toward the door (the backhalf was totally absent) and I let her in with her guts dangling behind her. Dozens of the zombies came in, and I woke up immediately. I was traumatized for like a week afterward.

i wouldn't worry, beanz -freud was a deranged coke junkie¡

Make sure you let Troma know about it. Troma means "excellence in film-making."

True, dyson, but before him and his contemporaries (er, OK, give or take several decades but youknowwhatImean) everyone would have thought that zombie dreams were premonitions and probably indicated an impending apocalyspe or some such. I don't know which I'd rather believe - armageddon or crap lay.

Cutty, I see Richard Dreyfuss as your lead. Maybe I'm thinking of What About Bob.

― beanz (beanz), Monday, 21 June 2004 16:16 (twenty-two years ago)

dreyfuss is PERFECT for this.

― cutty (mcutt), Monday, 21 June 2004 16:21 (twenty-two years ago)

apocalypse dammit... couldn't let that stand.
Nicholas Cage as Carl Gustav Jung's living corpse maybe?
