     After watching Zombie land, who knows how many days ago, I dreamt of zombies. Now these zombies were not your ordinary stupid, slow moving undead. No. My zombies were smart, agile and they knew how to wield weapons. Any other person may consider this a typical nightmare. I didn't have any troubles fighting for an imaginary me. If there were twenty zombies I would slice em' down with twin  Kukri Machetes. Just like in the movies. The Zombies just kept coming and coming and I just kept slicing and slicing. Finally after what seemed like years of fighting the last zombie rounded a corner. I swung my hands behind my head and chucked both weapons straight ahead, both finding each eye.

    When I woke up at six I literally felt exhasted.

Now there's a perfect advert against watching films of such ilk if ever i saw one.

Gee, all I ever dream about slicing is broccoli.  Once in a while, it's zucchini. Now, that's a nightmare.

Cool dream, I can see where you would wake up exhausted. Sounds pretty cool though, blood and guts flying everywhere, fighting until there was nothing left to fight.

[The Ninja King, Cobra Angels]

Yes, that DOES sound pretty awesome.

I plan on watching Zombieland with Game Cat this Friday.

Zombie land was an awesome movie!

I have already thought dreams were just that....dreams.....our sub-conscious mind taking over while we were sleeping.  I never assigned any special significance to them.  But about a month ago I had a very real dream where I was talking to my father who passed away back in April.  In the dream I was telling my father that my daughter, Heather, found out she was expecting a few days after he died.  In the dream he smiled and said, "yes, I know!  I've seen him!"  I told my daughter about the dream.   Last week she went to the doctor for an ultrasound to find out the sex of the baby!  Yep, Daddy was right.  It is a boy!  Call it a coincidence if you want, but I am inclined to think that there was more to it than that!  Just my opinion!

Dreams can be daily experiences in images that our brains throw back at us or they can be prophetic. The hard part is to discern the difference. In your particular case it appears that on some level, you were having a psychic experience and foreseeing a future event.

It's my personal belief that when people deeply mourn those who have passed on, the departed somehow seem to intervene in our lives. You don't realize it until you return to a normal life and reflect on an event that seems to indicate non-human intervention.

JMHO though...

I agree with Ellie. The really, real type dreams are from a divine source. My daughter had a really, real dream about her father, who died last January. She had been praying to be able to know something about him for a couple days before the dream, which was in Feb. It seems he is fine, happy and healthy, and his (deceased)  mother was visiting him at the same time in his apartment, where he lives with our (deceased) cat but you have to be carried up a golden stairway to get to his apartment. The dream ended suddenly when he said he had special permission to bring her there but she couldn't stay.
It was a comfort to us both. I've only had three really, real dreams that I can remember.

Zombieland WAS an awesome movie, and I started having zombie dreams after watching it too, it just sounds wierd to have zombies wielding weapons. Doesnt that defeat the purpose of zombies? Arent zombies supposed to be mindless and stupid? Not making fun of your dream, I just think its hilarious for zombies to use weapons.

When I think Zombies, I think of a video game I have, Left 4 Dead (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UF1HVlcXBmA).
Otherwise, I think of zombies as the kind you see from '28 Days Later' (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBZnuUZIbBQ).

[Pringles]

Same here.

Apparently during a dream, when you experience the feeling of falling, which has happened to me a couple of times in the past though not recently, you can actually die.
It normally happens when you are in the last dream stages before you wake up, and you find yourself falling and its normally backwards, so you can't see the approaching ground.
You can literally feel the wind rushing past you, the roar of the friction your body would create falling fully clothed through the air.
You feel the nausea of motion like you would feel going down in a rollercoaster, which gets worse the closer to the ground you get.
To start with it's a gentle feeling, but unlike some dreams, where you drift from one scene to another, once you start falling it's hard to break out  of it.
Your heart starts to beat faster, and real panic begins to set in and even though you can't see it, you know how close the ground is getting and it makes beads of sweat pop out on your forhead.
With only inches to spare, when you feel you should have impacted on the ground, you wake bolt upright gasping for breath, your heart pounding, your body trembling and sweat covered.
You think dreaming about zombies is scary.......

Apparently your subconcious takes over at the last moment allowing you to break away from the dream, but it's said if you give in to the feeling and give up and let yourself impact on the ground....you can suffer a fatal heart attack and 'Peg it'.

Puts the zombie dream in perspective eh ?

Yes I've actually heard the same thing Sharky, and I'll have to say that I don't remember being in such a dream. . .ha, like I can remember any of my good, thick story lined, full charactered dreams. Thanks for being more. . .descriptive on the subject Sharky.

[EllieT]

On what do you base your assumption, Sharky? As far as I know, it's another of those urban legends.

Guys! sack your cerebral scriptwriters (dream makers)...btw, sex sells better.

[sharky]

I have experienced that feeling of falling Ellie, and woken up just like I said, bathed in sweat, with my heart pounding fit to bursting...or so it seemed.

I can'r remember the last time I had a dream like it, but the dream itself is unforgetable, and as it happened to me more than once I enquired to a friends wife of a few years ago who was one of these people who read the meanings of dreams.
She did say it was a sign of worry or anguish, but in many cases the results are the same, the feeling of falling, feeling the air rushing by, but the strangest thing about it was looking forward to experiencing it.

I actually wanted the dream to happen, looked forward to when it would happen, even though the last few seconds of the dream had me clenching my teeth in the anticipation of hitting the floor.

Horrible now to think I could be dead if I had allowed myself to hit the floor, the mental shock stopping my heart from beating.

Thats the theory anyway, and for anyone who might have experienced such a dream it sounds completly feasable, who's to know the truth of it?
