It wasn't really a nightmare, but I had a dream yesterday where I was trapped in a house with Lunahound, Gwar, and Cheese Elemental on some kind of big brother-esque reality show.
Who am I kidding, yes, it was a nightmare .

Whoa, did you fall asleep while on Dakka or something?

I can never watch a zombie movie before i go to bed, i have to watch something else.
DUDE...me too. I play left for dead 2 all the time, and I grew up, and still am, an AVID resident evil fan...(not the crummy movies, though.) I love the whole zombie thing....but its also scary as hell. I always have different zombie scenario dreams... they are so vivid and so real, I always have a weird day with those dreams glooming over my head the next day....
I have very weird dreams....but one of then nightmares I had when I was about 13-14 really stuck with me...
all I can remember is that I was in this ENDLESS ocean of gore. blood, indistinguishable body parts, and more blood. It's deep enough where I am bounding from tippy toe to tippy toe...you know like in a lake,where you can wade out and "through" the water, but its VERY hard and nearly impossible? Well I am doing that, and I get the impression that it gets deeper in front of me, and I am running away from this colossal 100 ft tall THING...I know he has this huge axe, but all I can see is a huge towering lack shadowy mass. I can hear the axe swooshing above my head, and I have to keep ducking under the gore to avoid it....I can here its lumber footsteps and the cacophony is horrible. I keep getting coppery blood in my mouth.....
then I woke up...

Hmmm,perhaps in your dream state you have uncovered yet another "sub species" of zombie.
So we have the "Romero Shamblers",the "Zack Wylde Sprinters",the " O'Bannon Brain eaters",the "Fulci aquatic dead" & " EFs zombis del zapato or the Carrie Bradshaw zombie",very interesting.
you mean the Danny Boyle / Juan Carlos Fresnadillo sprinters?

I am both selfish and chaotic. I value self-gratification and control; I want to have things my way, preferably now. At best, I'm entertaining and surprising; at worst, I'm hedonistic and violent.

True,28 days/weeks "Infected" are mindless and they do kill us (not sure about the eating part,I'll have to re-watch),so I suppose they could qaulify as "zombies" in a sense.
However,I tend to think of zombies in terms of re-animated corpses that exist to eat us.
I will add that I have a lot less dificulty accepting "sprinting Infected" than I do "sprinting zombies" ...Oh,and oddly enough,I never have bad dreams about zombies..go figure

Minnesota, land of 10,000 Lakes and 10,000,000,000 Mosquitos
My nightmares always seem to involve either the end of the world or the Saw movies. While I'd admit the first one is one of my deepest fears (Ironically, my favorite sci-fi introductions/backgrounds involve some apocalyptic event destroying/nearly killing Earth...) I really don't know why the second one shows up so much. I'm an avid fan of the movies - not because they're good, mind you - but they've never been scary for me.
Oh, and whoever posted earlier that a dream interpretation shows falling as a sign of stress/loss of control, thanks for giving me at least some insight to my dreams. Because that's a key feature of virtually every dream I have - falling from a great distance, feeling that sinking, plummeting feeling in my stomach and feet, and hitting the ground.

You don't need to run faster then the infected. Just the person next to you.

Every man for themself right Scout.
Unfortunatly outrunning the guy next to you would only work if you are being pursued by a small group of Infected,if it was a larger group chasing you,even if your buddy did go down,you'd probaly still need to keep hauling butt.

I can haul ass with the best of them if I'm properly motiva, well scared is a better word.
Yes,fear is a fantastic motivator .
I'd also hope to never find myself in this situation with you my young friend,as you are 20 some odd years younger than I am and I have a bad knee,you could no doubt outrun me...so I'd have to shoot you in the foot

Unlike you, I'm not Completely souless. If it were just me and you, I'd lift ya into a firmen's carry, and haul ass with you across my back for as long as possible, and when you became too much of a burden, I'd drop you.
Now if someone from my family was there, or a hot chick, you ass would be left in the dust.
My weirdest dream happened just after Christmas. For some reason I was a US sniper (I even talked with the accent) and had been sent to eliminate Father Christmas after being told to by David Cameron. When I had him in my sights he turned round and I saw his face was actually my girlfriends face. I pulled the trigger and woke with a start. Really really freaked me out and I texted her at about 4 in the morning checking she was ok.

I like how you think Scout.
Unfortunatly,at 6'4" and 260 pounds I'm sure I would become a "burden" for you to carry after the first 50 feet or so,at wich point you would have to drop me or get yourself munched as well.
I suppose I'd just have to be content with providing covering fire so you could escape..perhaps years later you could name one of your kids after me or somthing .
Oh,and I can't blame you for picking the hot chick over me...I look terrible in a mini skirt and heels.

Then I wouldn't even attempt it. Sorry, too big for to carry. I would mourn you though, so at least you can carry that to the grave. Or zombiedom.

-The hated Cheese escapes in the chopper to live another day.
-Cheese dons his sunglasses and knocks back a shot of whiskey as his chopper leaves the city behind to be annihilated in a nuclear strike.
Good end!
People are like dice, a certain Frenchman said that. You throw yourself in the direction of your own choosing. People are free because they can do that. Everyone's circumstances are different, but no matter how small the choice, at the very least, you can throw yourself. It's not chance or fate. It's the choice you made.

I had a nightmare when I was being slowly disemboweled by fluffy things with massive fangs. Another dream I kept on falling and wouldn't stop. I was told its sleep parallasyse or somthing.

Attack of the Christmas critters!
Sleep paralysis is when your body is asleep, but your brain wakes up and is concious and out of the dreamworld and you can't physically move. If you ever get into that state, you can get yourself to dream vivid lucid dreams where you take control and are physically concious in the dream world. Repeat a mantra like "I'm concious. This is a dream. I control my dreams." Over and over again. It is a lot of fun.
