newnumber6I dunno what's up with me, before about 6 months ago, I'd only had one zombie dream in my life. Now I'm on my fourth I think.
Anyway, the first dream, as dreams sometimes to, started as watching a movie and then what happened in the movie became the dream itself. The movie was a zombie movie except it was a weird one because it was supposed to be how the zombie plague started... and it wasn't a conventional way. It was about a guy who ate a _lot_ of a strange plant (bean-like, I think), and swelled up to Blob Size and began biting people, who became zombies.
Shortly after this point I was actually in the movie itself. The thing was, although most of the zombies were slow, the Blobzombie moved faster. You could still outrun it, but you couldn't outwalk it, anyway. The blob zombie was chasing me, but I managed to avoid it and escape it just as I was running out of breath, and get onto a street full of the other zombies. I was able to avoid them at first by weaving in and out of side alleys, and then I noticed that there were barricades made of lawn chairs. At this point (somehow) I learned that zombies wouldn't bother you if they couldn't see you, and they couldn't see any photographs of you. Somehow if they saw a photo of you, they'd know exactly where you were and if you were close enough, would come for you.
Some people were setting up barricades to block off a small street so zombies couldn't see in, and also trying to steal all the photographs of themselves so the zombies wouldn't know where they were. Of course there were zombies in the sealed off sections, but they figured they could just kill those if they were careful.
I was helping out trying to kill a zombie when something happened and all the zombies just collapsed at once - it looked like some worldwide cure to zombieism was found, and all the zombies were normal people again. That's about all I remembered before i woke up.
In the second dream, I was at my dad's place, and someone had found a piece of broken glass. I apologized and explained that I broke a glass there earlier but I thought i got all the pieces, and so I went back to the spot and started gathering pieces (it was carpetted though, so some of them were deep into the carpet. As I was taking them to the garbage, I noticed a broken beer bottle on the stairs. I tried to clean that up and then realized the house was haunted. So I went upstairs and found a celebrity. Matthew Perry. He was drunk and complaining about a time loop, that time was looping over and over again, but then realized that I wasn't in any of the previous loops and so I was new and so that I must be real and everything else a delusion, or I must be a delusion and everything else real. Somehow at this point he became Mark Hammil and I didn't notice, but anyway, he was ranting to himself over and over again and I realized that the ghosts were trying to drive him mad, so I tried to think of a way to distract him from the ghosts so I could get his attention and get him out of there.
I tried yelling random things that might get his attention, things from newspapers in the room, etc, and none of it worked, and suddenly, not being able to think of anything else to say, I shouted, "Look, Nude Wookies!" and Mark Hammil suddenly started looking where I was indicating. And I thought, 'huh, who would have thought he'd be so interested in nude wookies.'. Anyway, I tried to tell him about the ghosts, but that's about where I woke up.
I have no idea why either of those celebrities were in a dream, I haven't really thought anything about them in recent memory.
