Zombie movies and television shows are often seen as a sensationalized portrayal of death, but do they also have hidden meanings? Whether you’re dreaming about zombies or not is irrelevant to the zombie in your dreams. When people dream of zombies, it may indicate that their subconscious fears are coming through - like fear for one’s mortality! Maybe these nightmares stem from something more personal than what we see on TV screens. Although, maybe, this means there has been some loss recently (maybe even relating to childhood).
Or sometimes, those who experience traumatic events during waking hours will manifest them into vivid visions at night. It might imply that you have been feeling like you are detached from the world around you. You don’t feel connected to anything or anyone, and it’s getting harder for you to keep going with daily life. Sometimes this is caused by a lack of emotional expression, and other times because we’re too stressed out to stay in touch with reality anymore. Sometimes, this is happening as an attempted defense against overwhelming emotions when grief sets in after the death of someone close.
For example, if you know that you’d be fired from a good job but still have hope for it when dreaming about being infected by zombies, it indicates that we should take much less fun jobs or even boring ones - so as not to give up on our goals (in waking life). We learn more about ourselves through these lesser positions.
You may be in a situation where someone is constantly nagging you. They won’t stop with their pointless chatter, and they’re trying to force themselves to get your attention, but all you want is for them to go away! You need space, just like a dream about zombies needs room. The idea of not having any control over what’s happening or who is there might feel frustrating because these unwanted people seem unstoppable. It can come from physical relationships as well - if it feels impossible for things to ever change between two individuals, then zombie dreams could represent that feeling too! The zombie chasing dream could be about abuse and substance. You may have or know someone who has an addiction problem, so you are constantly immersed in this environment where drugs become a social norm. Your own ability to think for yourself becomes compromised by the bad influences of people around you doing illegal substances all day long. It’s just easier to be sober among these friends
Many animals have turned into zombies, but some stand out. Zombie dogs can reflect the detachment from your personal life or work skills depending on how they behave with you. For example, if a zombie dog turns around and growls at you when it sees you coming close, then this may represent an aggressive reaction towards something related to your career, such as stale ideas or old attitudes. On the other hand, if a zombie dog is walking by without paying any attention whatsoever, these could represent friends who no longer return calls for real-life social gatherings, reflecting their indifference about what’s going on with them outside of work hours.
You may be feeling a bit lost in your life. A dream about seeing a zombie baby could signify that you’re losing the innocence and purity of your younger days, or it might represent an abandoned project with no hope for success anymore.
Your ex-boyfriend or ex-girlfriend is the walking undead in your dreams. This may imply that you are no longer feeling anything towards them romantically, which could point to a lack of emotional attachment on their behalf as well. If this dream leads up with feelings of sadness about not reconnecting with an old flame, then it reflects how much you still care for them and want more from the relationship even though they have moved on without you.
There’s a lot of evidence suggesting that fighting zombies in your dreams may indicate how you’ll fight off enemies and regain humanity. For example, if the dream features different types of guns, it could represent aggressive measures taken against opponents. This is especially true considering gun violence related to recent events like school shootings. If fire was used instead, then perhaps we should think about passion or enthusiasm being needed.
When we dream of a zombie apocalypse, it’s really about the end. When our dreams are overrun with zombies, and all that is left in their wake is death and destruction, what else can they symbolize? In these nightmares, we see ourselves as hopeless survivors who have lost friends or family members to alcohol abuse, pyramid
If you dream about dressing up as a zombie during Halloween, it suggests that deep inside of your soul, you want to connect with others. You may be trying to keep this facade up because people might think differently from how you are feeling about life and people close to you in reality based on the outer side of things.
