I once dreamt that somebody loved me.
Bert, that has to be the saddest thing ive ever heard.
Last night I dreamt that Little Joy stopped to play a show in a little town up in the mountains and they had to roll down those hills in order to get to the place they were going to play at. Oh, and Jennifer Aniston was at the show too.
I once dreamt I was only a sort of thing in the Red King’s dream.
I dreamt of you and me.
This is a real dream that I had a few weeks ago and my friends can vouch for it. I typed it on my phone when I woke from the dream, because I thought it was all real and it needed to be a movie.
The dream opened with people starting to wake up in a classroom in a high rise building in DC. These are our characters. They look out the window and see dead bodies everywhere with zombies feeding on different bodies. After small talk and opening conversation, they start to move through the building, looking for signs, television, anything to give them a sign. They can’t understand why they were asleep and everyone else has turned to zombies. The televisions don’t work and they can’t find a radio. They take the radio to the roof. After spending some time on the roof trying to get the radio to work, all of a sudden, one of the characters is shot by a sniper , when he attempts to talk to his girlfriend that everything will be okay, because it looks like a zombie eating someone. The rest of the group hits the floor under the walls to protect themselves. One person from the group, starts to crawl, using the wall as protection. He realizes that he needs to get something big to write on to tell the sniper they’re not zombies. He gets to the door and runs down the stairs. Starting to go through classrooms and rooms looking for something. With that 2 zombies pop out and run at him in the building, but he fights them off using objects around the classroom. He finally finds a giant poster board/chalk board thing. He writes on that they’re not zombies and puts a bullseye on it, that tells the sniper to shoot that if he has read it. He gets back to the roof of the building and rolls the board to the wall. after some silence and waiting, sitting, under the wall, they hear a bang as the sniper has shot target.
The group gathers together to try and grasp what is going on. They finally reach a part of the roof where they get service on the radio. The crackled newscast fills them in on what has happened. Since this is happening in DC or a city like that, they say that something has leaked through the city and now the city is quarentined. A gas was released to attempt to put everyone in the city to sleep which explains why they were sleeping. The newscaster starts to talk about the symptoms, how these are normal people as zombies and attempting to kill anyone living, to feed on them (put more details here). With that they start to see zombies coming up the building next to them with weapons. The zombies come busting through the roof. One of the members of the group attempts to save them by jumping on the next roof. He tackles the two zombies off of the building along with himself.
There is a separate plot of people protecting a house. Some of the group decides to stay and fight, while the rest of the group decides to leave and head towards the city. They meet up with the other group. We never know what happened to the people who stayed to defend.
The zombies are fast and look normal, just lighter in color and there is something off about their eyes. They don’t travel in packs like most movies and try to kill people with weapons because they want to feed on the dead bodies. The zombies function like normal people, however their body functions are off, so when they carry weapons, they’re not as quick to get them up and working properly. They dont reload, they just drop weapons and move on.
A part of the dream dealt with how the government was handling the situation from the outside. They have fenced off dc. But they realize the only way to remove everyone from the city is to blow up the city from underground using the train system. They have to send in people to operate the broken down train system. Throughout the teams journey in, some are eaten. There is the typical scarey part where he walks through the train by himself and defends himself. He knows it is a mission where he will have to sacrifice himself, because he has to get to the exact spot.. He drives the train while shooting zombies attempting to get into the train and blocking the underground and blows it up at the perfect spot (along with other military people who have driven their train cars to the specific locations. They realize that they can collapse the city and it will flood the city from the outside rivers/ocean/whatever.
The end of the dream was an explosion of the city, but it is only know that the zombies have started banding together. The military person in charge sees the zombies starting to run in giant groups over a bridge (The GW or something). The closing of the dream was the city exploding and flooding, but the bridge collpasing with some zombies falling back into the city, but what looks like some zombies getting through, but we dont know. The two groups of people that have gotten away look like they’re in a boat escaping across the water to safety as zombies are running at them into the water and shooting at them with weapons and as the city is burning. As far as they know, they are getting away safe, but dont know where they’re going.
Either that or a reoccurring one that I have, where I’m on a desert and I’m below the ground. I keep popping out my head from hiding, but there is always a lion there and we just stare at each other. After a few minutes of staring at each other, I just go back underground.
Not random at all.
I’ve had so many crazy little dreams in the past few weeks – most recently, I dreamt that my mom and I were shopping at some big-box store and she tells me to come over and look at something with this smile on her face like there was a surprise in store for me. There are two girls around my age and they’re humming along to the music in the store, making it really obvious that they want me to recognize the song. The girls and my mom are like, Lily, LOOK! And there’s this woman sifting through linens humming to the song, too. I was supposed to know who she was. One of the girls was like wow, I love this SHERYL CROW song – look, it’s my mom!! And she was really proud to show off her mom, Sheryl Crow, singing to her own music in a big box store. I woke up and realized I couldn’t even think of one Sheryl Crow song off the top of my head… I wonder what music was playing in my dream?! I was not too impressed with it, either way.
I’ve also had a ton of similar chase dreams, where I’m wanted by secret police, or the mafia, or thugs of some sort. Always running, creating identities to protect myself. They’re always somewhat different but with the same theme. My favorite: my dad, Nicholas II, and I, Anastasia, escaped Russia after they murdered our family. We came to America and assumed average Colorado identities – I was a high school cheerleader and my dad was an insurance salesman. But there were always these men in the periphery with black briefcases, pretty sure they were snipers that knew who we really were. It was SO weird waking up and being like, omg, Anastasia is still alive! She goes to high school in Colorado! We need to save her!
would love to have yet another crazy dream experience at the Oh Land/Savior Adore concert this weekend :)
I dreamed daft punk took over the Effie tower and turned into a giant light musical explosion that sparked a music festival that brought upon our first contact with aliens.
Who won?
