Zombies.

Yep,
Thats right.

Last night I dreamt about zombies.
I am 22 years old and I had a nightmare so bad that i woke up and lay petrified in bed for over an hour, nearly getting up the courage to go wake up my parents.
Fuckin right.

What prompts that kind of imagination?
I haven't seen a good zombie movie in years.
I suppose this dream was loosely based on "I am legend" though.

I remember a few friends met me in a parking lot of a grocery store. We tied our dog up outside and drove right up to the door of the store, knowing it would be dark soon and we would need to make a run for the car to avoid the zombies. Once we were in I realized if we were really planning on coming back out when zombies were a possibility, I should go get the dog and bike and set up the car so we could really just make a run for it.

I went out to grab the dog and thought to myself "I am glad i did!" because the dog was tied near the woods. On my way back inside I saw one zombie following us though the forest. I realized the sun was going down. I started rushing for the safety of the sliding doors of the grocery store but it was too late... The Zombie was in front of us. I kicked him and punched but it seemed useless...He laughed at me demonically and I realized me and the dog were about to die.
Then,in that desperate moment, I woke up.

Waking up terrified and helpless really doesn't get much better with age. I tried like hell to go back to sleep and continue the dream, lucidly... I tried to imagine kicking the zombies ass and making a 'light brigde' to the car so we could getting inside and being safe. Unfortunately my mind wouldn't let me....It kept reminding me that I was making it up, not following the rules... I technically never defeated the zombie outside the store and let's be serious... zombies can open car doors, by the time I got everyone inside, the undead would have broken a window.

So instead I lay there... trying to convince myself I was safe but some anti-logic function in my head kept reminding me I was laying in a dark room and zombies like the dark.



What's up with that?
I am 22.
grow up.
