Hey guys,

I have had this same dream several times now and am curious as to what you might think it means. I will try and present as much information as possible:

Starts with me getting a taxi home with a young lady. We stop outside her, I hug her goodbye and proceed to walk the rest of the way home. Then there is a gap and I regain consciousness at my University campus; albeit the layout is slightly different and the whole dream is contained within a certain building on this campus. The layout being different is nothing radical, merely certain rooms being where they shouldn't be; for example, the restaurant is on the first floor rather than the ground floor.

Upon gaining consciousness I begin to discover that everyone on campus is infected and are crazed zombie like creatures. Not like normal zombie films, but like Left for Dead, where they can run at speed etc. Furthermore, their bites do not infect you, just injure you. One final point: They are weak to alcohol, thus anyone who fights them throws alcohol over them and they burn to death.

A load of people who are healthy and uninfected have taken refuse in one of the lecture theatres and barred up the doors except one to allow other healthy people through. After a gap in my memory, I appear in this theatre surrounded by people I don't recognise and notice that the girl from earlier is not here. I leave the theatre and run after her.

After some searching, and avoiding of the 'zombies' I discover her. She has been infected and has attacked some people, as she has bloody around her mouth. She notices me but does not attack or signal for help. We share a brief hug before we are discovered. We run to another room and hide, laying against the door hugging each other. Working out that this room is not safe (no idea how I come to this conclusion), I decide we need to escape but believe we desperately need alcohol in case 'zombies' find us. I take the girls hand and we spring towards where the alcohol is kept (rather than a bar, it is on shelves on a wall). I grab as much vodka as possible (for some reason, vodka is the most dangerous to these 'zombies').

For one second at this moment, I get a feeling that I should use the alcohol on her in case she threatens myself or the other survivors. After starring into her eyes, I decide that I just cannot do that, I love her too much. I grab a load of alcohol, hold her, wipe off the blood with my thumb (so holding her by the deck, wiping off the blood with my thumb) before sharing a kiss with her. I take her by the hand and we run towards the theatre.

Before we make any real distance a 'zombie' grabs her and pulls her down, with others coming. I open a bottle of alcohol and run at them; attacking them all. Although graphic, I get one scene of this 'zombie' burning very slowly and painfully by the sounds of it.

I grab her and run. I notice that a load of 'zombies' are in our way, sitting around tables. Unlike before, however, these 'zombies' are people I know and love - they are all the friends I have made at University sitting at a few tables. With feeling of regret, I open a bottle of alcohol, through it at them and we jump over the tables leaving them [zombies] behind.

We run into the theatre and try to blockade the door. We struggle against 'zombies' on the other side trying to open them. Just before the doors close, I see the image of an alien looking ridiculously angry. The door shuts, and we are relieved. I share another kiss with this girl before everything goes white. The next scene is some man, myself and this girl looking out of the window at a beautiful summers evening, with the setting sun shining in the distance. A small alien device hovers in front of us and we hear it speak. Like the voice from the original twilight zone, and in that style, it makes some philosophical statement about the other lad and myself before leave. I don't know what the words were, just that they were said and the nature of them.


In terms of emotions, they are relatively consistent throughout. In terms of this girl, I constantly feel warm, happy and full of love. When I discover she is not in the theatre with everyone else, I feel broken and in a flurry of emotion run after her. Upon finding her, even with everything happening around us, I am overcome by happiness at her survival. Briefly upset that she is infected, but happy again when she doesn't attack me.

All the emotions in this dream are centred around her and her survival except for one point where I feel for my friends around that table, many of whom probably died in our escape. Before throwing the alcohol bottle, I feel apologetic and mournful.



A little bit about myself
Sex:Male
Relationship status: single
Age: early twenties
I have good relations with friends and family. I don't see my family often though due to attending University, although I speak to them regularly.
Although I would consider myself rather content, a friend was recently taken by surprise at my overt happiness before concluding that I usually appear to be a lot more miserable. Not sure I entirely agree with this though, I tend to have a laugh with numerous people and friendship groups. The same friend has also concluded that one of my favourite songs is 'beyond depressing'.

Can't think of anything else relevant, but will happily answer questions.
