Zombie Dream, in bits and pieces

Unfortunately, I can't remember most of this dream, so this is mostly going to be a bullet point summary

We started in the lobby of a 12 story hotel. We barricaded the doors and divided into groups of three, One on the 10th, one on the 11th, one on the 12th floor. I was on the 11th.

We blocked the doorways and essentially got rid of all contact with the other floors. We tried to live as normally as we can, though floor 11 took over roof and fire escape access so we can observe our surroundings.

At one point, a group of us tried to go up to floor 12 and it was in total chaos, we almost got shot and it appeared to have reverted to some sort of tribal state, where the 12th floor broke up into a few groups and they fought each other for food. We couldn't do anything to help with just the five of us, so we left and blocked them in again.

We went up to the roof to observe the surroundings. There were a lot of zombies milling about but they didn't seem interested at all. One of the guys I was with got pissed off and shot into the distance. We tackled him, and watched to see if the zombies could locate us, but luckily most of them actually headed in the direction the shot was fired, and very few stayed around us.

At one point I ended up alone on the third floor fire escape to get a closer look at things, and then went to patrol the floors. I found about two zombies on the lower floors, probably there from before we got there and were just missed. When I got up to the 7th floor, it looked like someone had completely ripped out the 8th floor, making the 7th two stories. At the end there was this giant contraption. Apparently the 10th floor had expanded downwards and were making sacrifices. Two women walked passed discussing the next day's sacrifice which apparently went that two people would fight each other to get out of the giant contraption, and once the first person was out then they would lock the other person on where they would get sprayed with some sort of drug and starve to death.

Unfortunately, of course, that means I was discovered and had to participate in this sacrifice, except now there were three people instead of two. When one person got out, I was about to reach the door but they closed it and gassed both of us. I know that some small boy helped me get out, and his father, him and I made it to the stairwell where we went back up to the 11th floor to report.

Hey look...

... I'm changing the quotes. It's only been a freaking long time. Needa keep it consistent and post the old quotes though.

Here they are

"Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for."

"Life's disappointments are harder to take when you don't know any swear words."

Righto.

Yes! New Zombie Dream.

This one began mid-outbreak. The zombies appeared to be somewhat intelligent. Not fast, but the would team up to try to break down a door/use door handles. A group of survivors and I were in what appeared to be a restaurant main lobby, that honestly wasn't very secure. The main lobby probably only lasted a day before the zombies were in, and 7 or 8 other survivors and myself made it to the kitchens and boarded up the room.

We survived in the kitchen for a few days before something happened and somehow one of them found us and there was pounding coming from the back door to the outside. We were unequipped (no guns, no training) but we focused on the fact that they all appeared to be out back and allowed 3 people to go out the front to look for help while we tried to hold the back door.

After a few hours, we were beginning to lose hope (and the zombies at the door were fucking persistent when they knew we were there) when we heard gunfire and someone calling to us for us to open the door. The three had returned with about 5 others that had guns and we felt a bit safer.

Unfortunately, after a little while something happened that caused me to need to go outside asap and draw the zombies away (I think I pulled the short straw) while only having a chopping board knife. I was supposed to loop back but I ended up being herded in one direction and had to run through a very deserted city hall. Somehow managed to make it far enough away to lose the zombies and ran across a 3 story tall apartment complex and tried my luck in it. There were some truly dumbass survivors in the main lobby, but they let me in and I yelled at them for standing in the main room of a nearly entirely glass building and not finding someplace concealed. I tried to give them tips, but it was too late. Zombies had spotted them through the glass and were making their way and piling up to break through.

I pretty much told the people in the lobby that they should have boarded stuff up and not let me in, for survival sake, and booked it upstairs to try rooms to see if any were secure. I found one on the top floor that apparently had really paranoid people in it, as all the doors (even the bedrooms) had special locks to them that I felt would be really secure. I went through and locked all the doors to all the side rooms so that if the zombies go in they wouldn't immediately know which room I was in. The room I settled in had two beds and there was a lump in one. Nervous, I went to go poke the lump and it turned out to be a young girl (probably 11 or 12) that was crying. Her family had left her alone for the day and never came back when the outbreak started.

I managed to calm her down and went out to the kitchen to move most of the food to the bedroom. The walls in the bedroom were all glass overlooking the street near the front of the building, but luckily all the blinds were closed. I watched as the zombies appeared to give up on the building, hoping that some of the others in the lobby made it somewhere safe.

The next day I heard movement in the living room, and watched as the door started to unlock to the room we were in. Freaking out, I grabbed the knife and had the girl hide in the adjoining bathroom when the door opened and there was a perfectly healthy guy standing there pointing a gun at me. It turns out that he was the dad of the little girl and he and his Son finally made it back home to check on the girl. With them they brought 6 other people and a shit load of guns.

We moved to the living room and opened a window that people could take turns shooting out of and picking off stray zombies if they walked past. While I was telling my story I noticed one of the 6 other people had been awkwardly holding his side and it made me suspicious. Good thing, too, because about half a day later the guy turned and I had to behead him with a newly acquired sword. We made everyone check for bites after that and everyone else turned up clear.

After a few days we were running low on food and hadn't seen a zombie walk past in a while, so we decided it was time to move on. We equipped ourselves as well as we could and exited the building, before staying down back roads trying to find another good place to set up camp. After a while we heard yelling and ducked into an open building, people flanking the door to peak outside. Down the road we saw people running at us, but they were clearly not zombies. They had seen us and seen what building we went into and ran straight to us, pointing their guns at us and forcing us to go with them.

I don't know if they were good or evil, trying to take over the new world. I know they looked ragged and were kinda gruff talking, but so were all of us. I just woke up as my group as being 'escorted' down a street to a building where they set up shop, and being yelled at because one of us was wearing red.

A less violent Hunger Games (I guess.)

I imagine this dream occurred because I finished The Hunger Games a few days ago, then have been musing about watching Battle Royal again.

From what I understand, the basic rules of the game is that there were two teams, 5v5, and each team had a bunch of information given to them and 15 questions that the other team had the answers to. If you managed to get the answers to all 15 questions,then combined it with your own knowledge then you could unlock untold riches. To get someone out of the games, there was no killing allowed but you were allowed to knock them unconscious where they would be suspended from the games for 36 hours, though some chose to make this is violent as possible to make the people returning useless.

I don't know how it all panned out, but I the first thing I remember is sitting in a large room talking to a bunch of old ladies about random goings on in life, when my teammate Mildred walks in and I ask her where our other teammate (whose name I don't recall other than it started with an M as well) was. Mildred told me she wasn't quite sure but she knew the other team decided to start taking hostages to try to get information out of us, and when they did, they'd replace the hostage and try to take another. The general setting appeared to be a large forest surrounded by mountains where you could look for caves.

This was probably not a good sign, so I took off while Mildred collected supplies from the old lady bunker. I found no sign of our other teammate but I did find three of the other team harassing my third teammate, Autumn, for information and slowly damaging her legs until she answered a question. To stop the torture, as I knew I couldn't take on three of them at once, I popped out from behind a tree and answered one of their questions, before standing in front of Autumn as a human shield. Luckily, Mildred managed to show up behind them and the leader of the group (who I shall call Jon, as you will see why in the next section) told his group to back down, and since we gave them some of the information willingly then he would release our teammate.

The other team, which consisted of a scrawny looking chick, a guy who vaguely resembled the guy who plays Jon Snow in Game of Thrones, and another guy who appeared to be Aldis Hodge (Hardison in Leverage). Their fourth teammate was probably guarding the hostage, and their fifth I had apparently rendered unconscious a few hours before finding the bunker. My fifth teammate was the only guy on our team and fit enough to be able to be useful, but that's all I recall about him.

My team regrouped, with Mildred and I helping Autumn walk, by a tree that vaguely reminded me of an Ent. After however long we had been playing, the opposing team had the answers to 6 of our questions, and we only had the answer to 4 of theirs. It was decided that I would go scout out a safer location to meet and see if I could find the other teams hide out. While hunting I ran across the guy who resembled Hardison on a rocky cliff side and there was a surprisingly dramatic battle that involved bo staffs and climbing on the rocks. We were evenly matched for the most part but when we were both exhausted, Hardison's teammates showed up and I, very quickly, became the hostage of the day.

The rest I remember involved being in a rather pleasant neck of the woods being questioned about the information and thinking it odd that the leader of the group was the one who was staying back.

No idea how it ended, if we won or not. I really wonder what would happen if you only got like, 25 of the 30 total clues and were able to find the location from that... would it be cheating?

More Zombies! Hurrah!

Well then, let's just get right into this one.

It begins with our protagonist, Patrick Stump, running with a guy who looks like he's a drill sergeant away from a bunch of extremely muddy people. Drill sergeant man helps Patrick over a fence but doesn't manage to make it over before he is overcome by the zombies and Patrick can't take too long to mourn his friend before he has to take off so the zombies don't catch him as they're starting to pile up before the fence and getting closer to climbing on each other to make it over. There was a long time of running, probably thirty minutes of so of running (Though in dream time this took maybe 2 minutes) until Patrick approached a really old, ornate building at the top of a hill in the distance and a few miscellaneous buildings a bit farther. It was clear that the area had been completely abandoned and so Patrick booked it up and into the ornate building and got the doors shut, the light illuminating the zombie's hands through the tinted windows as they pawed at the glass. All he could do was making sure the door was barred before he passed out from exhaustion.

We now skip to a montage of Patrick waking up and finding food in a basement area, Vala from Stargate SG-1 and I showing up, Jared Padelecki showing up with his few month old son, two more guys and Smity showing up, somehow managing to get a signal on a crank TV that some of the guys found scavenging, throwing a mini-celebration as we hear news of the army slowly getting rid of zombies, Vala on a phone talking to authorities about a movement and how things are going, finally news on how most everything is zombie free, Vala and Patrick ending up doing a pseudo relationship thing, Jared somehow getting in contact with his wife, and a full out celebration the day before the army was going to come pick us up and take us to this new community for survivors. Total time span was probably about 4-6 months.

Skip to a week or so after we've been moved to our new houses, Vala, Patrick, Jared, his Son, his wife, Smity and myself ending up staying in one fairly large house as the other few people stayed next door, having formed a bond after surviving a zombie apocalypse. We get word that it looks like some straggler zombies are headed towards the town, that is protected by the army but we still can't be too careful and I'm pretty sure there was a "aw, hell no!" thrown in as Jared, his Son (now about a year old) and I took off to go investigate. When we got there, we saw a decent amount of zombies (probably 30) scattered and coming up the path into town and the Army had stormtrooper syndrome and was missing horridly. Jared then handed me his son, ripped a signpost out of the ground and went and beat on the zombies to kill them (why he has super strength? No idea). There was a point where Jared lost the post and was knocked down, and one of the last zombies was about to get him when his son struggled out of my arms, ran to his dad, and punched the zombie so hard in the neck that it crushed the zombie's windpipe and incapacitated the zombie. Both Jared and I were shocked, but we went with it and returned home.

Whelp, that was only kinda weird.

And now we're Flying

Honestly, I don't think I could accurately do a weirdness warning for this dream... Just know that it follows three different people, who's sections will be signified by a ------[Title]------. I was not in this dream at all.

-----[The Man]-----
This begins with the Man, his Wife, his Sister, and his friend at the top of a tower in city called "Flying". This tower had been locked up, and no one really had been up there for a few generations but the Man had finally talked a crew into investigating it. At the top of the tower there was a rusty iron hang glider that the Man had taken intense interest in and was in the process of talking his family into letting him try it out even though the Wife keeps pointing to old documents that show that every single previous attempt on the glider has been a horrible failure. The Man decides to say sucks to his Wife's advice and ends up just taking off right there, using the argument that they're in a city named Flying, why is no one trying to fly.

The flight is a relative success, the Man lands with just a few cuts and scrapes and maybe a bruised rib a few miles away and he's so freaking excited that he has to do it again relatively soon. This is when things go bad, as the Man finds the next relatively tall building and takes another jump, only to get caught in some sort of updraft, lose control, and black out.

-----[The Sister, a year later]-----
The Sister and her friend were boarding a small airplane with three doors that fit roughly 18 people when the friend all of a sudden got a weird look and he told her something was weird and turned right before he got on the plane, with her already stepping inside and as soon as she did the door closed right behind her and he couldn't get inside the plane after that, the stewardess telling her to take her seat and he'd have to get on a later flight. As the flight started to taxi down the runway, there were checks done to make sure the three doors were closed and the first two managed to close while the third door, the one located close to the cockpit was flung open by the momentum and the people couldn't reach the pilots to stop. All of the passengers buckled in and held on for their lives, not sure how long they had left, and once they were at a high enough altitude things began to break on the small plane and one by one the people were sucked out of the plane into oblivion. The Sister was the last person to be sucked out and as she was falling she muttered the irony of the fact that she was from a town called Flying and yet flying was gonna be the end of her.

-----[The Man, Two years later]-----
The Man shows up outside the Museum that has a connection to his house and awkwardly shifts as he knows he's been gone for a while, but he's not exactly sure how long because no one would tell him when he woke up and he went straight back home, thanking the people who's house he had woken up in. He enters the back room of the museum where workers are examining pieces that will be on display once they pass some tests and hears a gasp from the old Asian woman who had always been a family friend, and was head curator at the museum. She tells him he had been gone for twelve years and then tells him exactly where to find his Wife. His Wife, however, tells him he's only been gone for twelve days. The Man doesn't believe either of them, and is completely weirded out by the cheery disposition of everyone in the town. Later that night it is explained to him by his friend from earlier (who happened to be Jared Padalecki) that someone came into town a week ago and essentially forced the entire town to be overly happy and it was creeping him out. There was also a conversation about whether Supernatural had been renewed still after Jared had explained that it had been two years since his incident.

The next day the old Asian lady was explaining in grave terms what happened to his Sister when he feels a sudden pain and everything goes black, permanently.

-----[The Wife, sorta.]-----
The Wife, possessed by the angry spirit of the Sister and more than likely the creepy person that forced everyone to be happy, had stuck her hand through the Man and caused him to turn into colored flakes of gold. She then did the same with the old Asian woman while everyone else screamed in terror and ran out of the museum. There was a small interlude where the Wife then went to go get skittles but couldn't eat them because when she touched them they turned into rainbow colored gold flecks.

I'm pretty sure that's when my brain decided it was too freaking weird, because then I woke up.

Under Za Sea

More Strangeness.

This began with my family and I on a long boat (two people across, 20 people back, ish) on a trip to begin whale watching while my dad talked about how he used to run this tour. Within 10 minutes there was a incredibly long orca whale swimming in front of the boat, even stopping and letting me (at the very front of the boat) to touch it before diving deep in the ocean. We were able to find another three or four whales within 30 minutes and the tour guide commented how odd it was to even find one. Once we were far enough away from the coast that we couldn't see it anymore there was a splash and a guy had dove out of the boat and was swimming downwards. Almost simultaneously myself, an average girl, a guy that was similar to the action heroes of zombie movies, and a tall elf-like man (who was still human, but that's the best way I could describe his figure) dove after the first man who just kept swimming deeper and deeper.

Once we got far enough we realized we had no issue breathing underwater and the pressure wasn't affecting us. We approached a colony that was kinda reminiscent of the Little Mermaid and noticed other people swimming around observing these bright green patches. We swam up to these people and asked what they were doing and they told us that they were farming patches of baby krill because some man was going around and killing patches of the ocean floor and these baby krill could help heal the patches if they were placed in the center. The elf-man described the man who had jumped off our boat and these people confirmed that that was the guy attacking the ocean and gave us a vague direction for where to find him.

My mind skipped to the four of us finding the man and beating him while swimming back to shore, however it was a different shore than we originally took off from. When we defeated the man he apparently lost his ability to breathe underwater and by the time we got up there he was dead. We dropped off his body anonymously at a local police station, I called my family, and we went to research where in the world we ended up.

We found an inn where the innkeeper put us up for the night but we had to stay in the kitchen because all the rooms were full. We were happy enough to have a place to sleep and eat that we didn't care and just passed out, the elf-man falling asleep in the bathtub because it was most comfortable for him.

The innkeeper woke us up abruptly at around 3 in the morning telling us that two threatening men were looking for us and it didn't look good at all. We had to hurry out, making her promise to hide the elf-man who we couldn't get to and gave her a rendezvous point so we could find him again. The three of us ran out the door just as the two men came running into the kitchen and saw us leaving. We though the city, which appeared to be a semi-deserted Rome, with a population of only about a thousand I'm guessing and bobbed and weaved around buildings to try to throw them off our tail before hopping over this wall and onto a grassy patch where we pressed ourselves against the wall and waited and listened for the two men to pass. Once they, FINALLY, did we had to discuss a plan to figure out what to do now once we met up with elf-man again, as they were clearly after us for taking care of the guy in the ocean and we stumbled into something we probably shouldn't have.

Then I woke up.
