Wow. Weird, freaky, horrible dream. It seemed to be set in the world of '28 Days Later' - which is a film I've only seen clips of, but apparently that was enough to brand it into my subconscious. I was in a training camp in the woods, being trained by military people in BDUs (only good bit of the dream) in how to fight the scary evil fast infected humans by throwing frisbees, those three-pointed frisbee-esque things, and little bits of Lego at them (my dreams are really stupid sometimes).
And then we heard that someone was setting off huge explosions in the sky. I saw a zeppelin above us, and it began to tilt, like it was sinking, and I suddenly realised it was going to explode, and that there was no where for me to hide. I just kind of ducked into a ball and waited to die a horrible fiery death. But the explosion turned out to be a way of spreading the infection - liquid, not fire - so everyone around me became scary evil fast zombies. I was the only one who didn't get infected because I was already half-werewolf (don't know where that came from). I had claws, so when someone came after me I shredded them, and then burst into tears. Because, damn, it wasn't fun. Then I ran a lot. Hid out in abandoned buildings. Avoided the zombies.
There was more to it, but I can't remember it all, aside from the feeling of horror and futility - I was the only survivor, and I'd have to keep hiding, running and killing if I wanted to live. Ugh. I kept half waking up and trying not to fall back asleep, but to no avail - the dream had its claws in me. So that wasn't much fun.
On the other hand, my space pirate fic is so far being nauseatingly happy, so perhaps I'll try and get some of my dream's atmosphere into it, pep it up a bit.

lmfao.
I totally understand. Stuff just gets so random. I always love my scuba diving dreams best...there was one I wrote about in my LJ within the past six months, where I was diving with a new buddy who was frantically looking for her mom, and every time we went down (I was dozing and kept hitting the snooze alarm...each time I fell asleep again we started down on a new dive) we'd encounter all of these dead bodies floating at various depths, but all I could do was stress about how much nitrogen we were building up from these repeated dives, which we weren't logging or planning.
My most recent one, I went scuba diving with a girl from work (who doesn't dive irl, btw), who also happens to be paralized on most of her left side. She apparently didn't need such pesky things as a mask or a buoyancy control vest or fins or an air tank or regulator, because she went diving without them. lol....and she brought her laptop, which she was using to IM with my English boyfriend, who was stoned and saying all sorts of ominous things like, "She hasn't felt pain in quite awhile, has she? We'll change that."
And then? A football team swam by? And did I mention that my friend was sitting on a bench with her laptop? Underwater? lol.
