The strange thing is that I also remember it really, really well.&nbsp; As you might be able to tell from the title of this post, it was about zombies&#8230; kind of sort of.&nbsp; They were zombie like, I guess, but not entirely how I expect zombies to be, so they are kind of a random creation of my subconcious.<\/p>\n<p>At any rate, my dream took place in the area here, with some differences.&nbsp; For example, mine and Elliot&#8217;s houses were in basically the same place in the dream as they are in actuality (for anyone who may not be aware of that setup, basically a short walk through a wooded area to the other house).&nbsp; There were plenty of differences though&#8230;&nbsp; my house was kind of surrounded by a museum&#8230; campus.. type thing.&nbsp; Like there were lots of paintings and such.&nbsp; Also, the woods were like REAL woods.&nbsp; And no other houses or anything like that.<\/p>\n<p>So anyway, as to how the whole zombie infection thing got started I&#8217;m not really sure&#8230; I believe that the dream just started with that being the situation.&nbsp; The first thing I remember is all of us being together in my house and us being attacked.&nbsp; By &#8220;us&#8221; I mean many people that I know in actuality (you know how it is, in the dream I knew all of them, but thinking back on it now I have no idea who some of the people were supposed to be.)<\/p>\n<p>Now, as to what made the zombies different from &#8220;normal&#8221; zombies.&nbsp; These zombies weren&#8217;t particularly mindless.&nbsp; They had sort of a singular purpose as zombies do, but they tended to be able to figure things out.&nbsp; And they were able to make unified efforts.&nbsp; They may have eventually become mindless though, given the time&#8230;.&nbsp; because another difference was that there was not an immediate and\/or sudden change.&nbsp; Typically, when one is bitten by a zombie, they become a zombie, complete with mindlessness, pretty rapidly.&nbsp; There is no questionable stage&#8230; when they are a zombie, you know it.&nbsp; Not so with these ones.&nbsp; After the attack, where we had lost a few people, there was another who, though we did not know it, was also infected.&nbsp; It was a guy, but I can&#8217;t say I knew who the guy was&nbsp;&nbsp; Anyway, basically, he was a zombie at this point, and he knew it, but at this point there was no physical difference, and he acted basically like a normal human.&nbsp; He took this girl away from the rest of the group under the pretense of going for a walk or something like that.&nbsp; Upon being alone, the girl sort of figured it out because he was acting a little strange, but it was too late for her.&nbsp; However, we did find out what had happened, and that was basically when we learned that about them.<\/p>\n<p>Later on in the dream, we all left the area to go do something&#8230;&nbsp; I can&#8217;t remember what exactly, but when we got back this girl was there who hadn&#8217;t been there before, but that we were expecting.&nbsp; It turned out she had been there overnight while we were gone.&nbsp; She assured us that it had been a quiet night, and things kind of went along as normal until the next day.&nbsp; Once again, she led another girl away from the group.&nbsp; They were sort of in the area that is elliot&#8217;s backyard&#8230; but a ways back.&nbsp; They were talking about the paintings and such in the art museum, and the new girl was saying how she had been looking at them.&nbsp; Eventually she said &#8220;you know, I saw the artist that painted that last night&#8221;.&nbsp; Which you know, clearly, that artist was dead and known to be among the zombies.&nbsp; So the other girl started to freak out and ran.&nbsp; She came across myself as I was headed up to Elliot&#8217;s, and upon realizing what was going on, I ran with her up to Elliot&#8217;s&#8230; which, btw, had sort of a bunker out in front of his house.&nbsp;&nbsp; We ran in there with the zombie right behind.&nbsp; I had a gun (basically just a pistol) that I turned to shoot the zombie girl with.&nbsp; but it was empty and didn&#8217;t go off when I pulled the trigger.&nbsp; Which sucked.&nbsp; So at that point we thought we were going to die.&nbsp; Then, the only other specific person that I can remember doing a specific thing&#8230;&nbsp; Elliot and 2 other people came up behind the zombie.&nbsp; Elliot had a really cool shotgun which fired 2 shots pretty rapidly, one in the torso and one in the head.&nbsp; Which killed the zombie.&nbsp; And&#8230; that&#8217;s pretty much when I woke up.<\/p>\n<p>I had to write about that though&#8230; because well&#8230; it was a pretty cool dream.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So last night I had a really bizzare dream.&nbsp; The strange thing is that I also remember it really, really well.&nbsp;
