Killing zombies, useless "partners"..

[crazydreams]

Hello, so I finally registered here, I hope you can help me see if there is a meaning to these CRAZY nightmares I have. Currently I am sick, and the nightmare rate is just off the charts: 3 this night, 1 I had during a 2 hour nap which I am going to describe now: It's very dark. An abandoned house. I am with a couple of survivors of whatever lead to this. none of them resemble people I know, yet I they have their own faces and personalities. We decide to go threw the house, secure it, so we can lock up and try to survive. I think we are only two in the beginning. We split up quickly... I manage to kill a few zombies, who don't offer any resistance: they are not so dangerous when I think of it, but it's still an extremely frightening situation for me, and the house is extremely scary; wooden house with very little light, wood cracking everywhere. It's like a post apocalyptic scenario. The house is huge and has many floors, and I work my way up, checking room by room: there aren't that many zombies. I clearly remember killing one. Maybe 1 or 2 others. All along the way I keep yelling to the other person something like "where are you?!". This is the introduction... I rescue a few survivors on the way and we gather on the top floor once I feel the place is secured. I am starting to plan a long stay, trying to gather anything I can find of use. The other people... Completely useless. One commits suicide because he can't bear the situation, one girl is completely terrified and stays in a corner, and one guy who goes crazy and starts destroying the items I found for our survival. I think this is the main part of the dream/nightmare. He sets a car on fire, which is the last straw: he must be killed! After all, we're ALL going to die if he's not stopped. So I get two other guys and we go looking for him in the house... Finally we track him down to a small bathroom (my bathroom from my real house), and I start punching him (for some reason I am always very weak when fighting in dreams). I yell at the other two to help me, but they are complete wimps too. I get angry at them, call them useless clowns. They follow me around but are no use every time there is a confrontation with the destructive guy. Finally I smash some sort of electric razor on his head, and start stabbing his arm over and over. I see his wound getting worse and worse, but he doesn't seem to care. Blood starts coming (first time I see blood in the dream) out of his arm. Stab him some more.. That's when I wake up, quite horrified that I am trying to kill that human and angry at these two useless goons who couldn't help me. All along the dream, I was just getting frustrated over these completely useless people... After waking up, I am just trying to understand why my brain generates these situations.

Maybe I need to specify I am absolutely not superstitious, nor religious, and I do not expect any type of premonition type explanations..!

I have more than my share of zombie armageddon dreams. Most times im trying to rally a party of survivors. Almost always they end up getting munched. But thats par for the course in every zombie film I've ever watched.

I'm not a big fan of zombie movies... Haven't watched any movies lately. After much thought, I have one theory... Luckily, this forum is anonymous. I think it may have something to do with the way I look down upon other people. Venting my frustration over idiots. The big scary house may represent the big company I work for. The zombies I killed are the employees. The survivors are my closest collegues. If the dream had continued I might have killed them too I think, as my anger was just growing and growing. My frustration over realising that they are useless too. In the real world, I have to smile and be nice with them, fake laughs, all a fake front; even though I consider them useless. Maybe that constant psychological effort is getting to me... I'm open to other ideas, I just hope there's nothing wrong with my brain (tumour?! :s )... The nightmares continue, I can't remember last night's.

It could mean that you are in a desperate situation, and you feel not everybody is pulling their weight. You feel that some people may actually making the situation worse? I think it is more likely just a fever induced nightmare.

That is so true... + I am so ill at the moment and had yet another nightmare last night... (so ugly I wouldn't even try to describe it, even anonymously.. lol)
