After watching horror films, people often have nightmares with vampires and other fantastic creatures. But dreams with frightening images can occur at any time, which indicates problems with the emotional state. Some individuals consider such visions a bad sign. Esotericists give several interpretations of what zombies mean in dreams.
Basic values
The risen dead or the dead drinking blood cause horror and fear in people. Those who dream of these creatures cannot forget for a long time nightmares in which they have to flee or fight with the dead. Pregnant women and people with weak nerves especially suffer from this. However, dreams of the walking dead do not always foreshadow negative events that await in real life.
If in night vision a zombie attacks and bites you, this means that the sleeper needs physical and mental rest, because in reality he works too much. If, after fighting a dead man, you manage to control him in a dream, this promises an important and significant event, the occurrence of which requires active actions.
Some night dreams seem absurd, such as sitting and talking to the undead. Such plots mark scandals and quarrels between the sleeper and his friends in reality. Another meaning of such a dream is receiving important information or revealing some secret in the near future.
A person may dream of his beloved who visited a cemetery and turned into a zombie. This vision suggests that in reality the girl went to a mass event, where she was told lies about her significant other.
A zombie can appear in a dream as an animal, such as a dog or cat. If in a night vision a person is being chased by such a creature, then he should reconsider his surroundings, since there is an ill-wisher in him.
Why do you dream about zombies?
21-Apr-2016 Pasha Tell me why I have dreams about the zombie apocalypse, I have them regularly, although I haven’t watched such films or played games for a long time, the dreams are always clear, and as if real, there is nothing that would indicate that this is a dream, always clear are remembered when I wake up. Zombies are never dead, do not rise from their graves, but always become infected from each other. Here's an example of the latter. I saw a dream in which I was, but not my appearance, although I knew that it was me. I was on the roof of the building where my pool was and I had a bunch of friends, although I didn’t know them, a lot of rewards in general, someone was swimming in the pool, someone was just having fun, and then I felt that something something bad was going to happen, then I realized it was going to be an infection. And suddenly, indeed, a zombie runs out of the door that leads to the roof and bites one, then they bite others, I understand that I have to run and run, because the infection spreads very quickly. I ran across the pool, over the heads of those who swam there (they did not yet understand what was happening). There were more and more infected people behind me (the infection passed very quickly), the others also saw this and also began to run away, running after me. There were two pools on the roof (I turned around, the roof was not flat, one pool was higher than the other, like a stepped roof) I turned right, since the roof was small, I had to run in a circle, again over the heads of those who were still in the second pool. I wanted to run out the door, but I realized that there were a lot of infected people there, then I jumped onto the lower tier of the roof (where the first pool was), ran to the edge of the house, the house stood very close edge to another house, and I leaned my back on the neighboring house, and hands and feet on the one from which I was running away began to go down, a crowd of infected people also began to run down (they entered the house through the entrance to the roof, naturally, everyone else on the roof also became infected), the house was monolithic and glazed entirely with glass, like skyscrapers (only instead of glass there was flexible transparent plastic) and when the infected ran down the stairs (it was right in the corner where I was going down) they pressed hard on this plastic so that it bent, and I was afraid that they would take it out and get to me, so I tried to lean into it as hard as possible while I was going down (I had to do it slowly), but then I decided not to disturb them anymore and to go down quickly, I loosened my pressure and quickly rolled down, ran out from around the corner of the house, to where there was an entrance to barricade it, I looked, and there were already special forces (the uniform is black, and not like the special forces now, everyone is in armor with M4 machine guns) at first there were 4 people there, they were squatting (taking aim) slowly approaching the door. I inserted a stick between the doors, which was from the janitor’s broom (I knew where he kept it, that’s where I found it), I turned around and saw that equipment was already arriving (one four-wheeler with a machine gun, several black Hummer jeeps), one had a trailer in the shape of a boat, painted in camouflage color. Special troops also came out of the equipment and took up defensive positions near the entrance. I noticed that there were three sensor machine guns in the trailer, which apparently they forgot to install (similar to machine guns from the game half-life 2 or portal), I took one to install it, then the infected broke through the door and poured into the street, the soldiers began to shoot at them , I in a hurry began to install the machine gun, the first time it fell and turned off, then I installed it more steadily, spreading it wider and it began to shoot at the infected, I picked up the remaining two as weapons, they became active and began to shoot, too, the infected it was difficult to stop, although they were dying, the crowd was getting closer to the military. Another armored personnel carrier arrived, and I thought that we would stop as zombies, if only a “tank” would not appear (this is a huge infected one, very strong and difficult to kill - there is one in the game left 4 dead, if anyone is interested, it can easily break through a concrete wall and turn the car over) and how evilly he appeared (from around the other corner of the house), the armored personnel carrier flew away from his blow, the soldiers partially switched to him, it was a massacre, he tore and split them, I began to run away, realizing that they They couldn’t cope with him, I threw away the machine guns, since they prevented me from running. The house was located near the embankment, and I ran there (the embankment was concrete and multi-tiered), I jumped onto the last tier and ran along it, the “tank” ran after me, given that it runs faster than people, I realized that something had to be done and I dived into the river and swam to the other side of the river, there was the same embankment and I climbed onto it. And then I realized the horror of the situation. It turns out that I lived on an island where until that time there were no infected people, and there was darkness around it (the rest of the world was infected and for a long time!!!) I realized that I had to go back, I definitely wouldn’t survive here (there was there was such a crowd of these zombies that there was no end to it, high-rise buildings could be seen in the distance, and behind them an unfinished concrete wall about 5 meters high), and I swam back to my shore, but I didn’t pull it out because a “tank” was waiting for me there “And I swam along the shore, the dream was very long, I was already tired of writing, but from the beginning you should understand what these dreams are for. And in general, why are they so accurately and clearly remembered, and I remember some dreams of a similar plan for several months! Why is it impossible to distinguish them from reality? All events there are interconnected, nothing appears out of nowhere and nothing disappears into nowhere! Everything looks real, etc.
Important Details
To correctly interpret a dream, it is necessary to take into account some details. The behavior and appearance of the dead in night vision can tell a lot.
Interpretations of dreams with zombies:
- The worst dream is being attacked by the dead. An attack by the living dead means difficulties in real life or deteriorating health. Running away from zombies - a person has a lot of things to do that need to be resolved as soon as possible.
- The bite of a dead man promises influence from ill-wishers who find themselves among those close to them. In this case, a person should not allow anyone to control him.
- Killing or shooting the walking dead in a dream is considered a good sign. This speaks of the life potential that the sleeper has in reality. Killing a zombie in a dream means that a person’s abilities will help him cope with upcoming difficulties and problems that previously seemed insurmountable.
- The revived undead also appear in dreams in the form of people from real life. If a person sees a zombie that his boss or subordinate has turned into, this means that he should think about looking for a new job, since not everything is going well at his old one.
- Sometimes in dreams the undead appear in the form of an acquaintance. It could also be a wife or husband. Such a vision promises disagreement in relationships.
- Evil spirits in the form of your child means that he should be occupied with something interesting, since he needs further development.
- A zombie may appear in a dream in the guise of an acquaintance or relative who died in real life. This also does not bode well. Usually, after such a dream, conflicts arise with others in reality.
The sleeper himself can turn into an undead creature in his sleep. This indicates his mental anxiety, dependence on public opinion or problems in his personal life. Such a dream can be repeated several nights in a row, so a person needs to better deal with difficulties in reality so that he is no longer constantly tormented by nightmares.
Prerequisites for the dream “Seeing and running away from zombies in a dream”
Although zombies seem like real monsters, our fear is not that they will kill us, but that we ourselves will end up becoming the same lethargic and lifeless creatures as they are. Zombies have become part of our popular culture through films such as George Romero's 1968 film Night of the Living Dead, but the trope originally comes from the tradition of voodoo, in which a sorcerer can reanimate corpses and force them to bend to his will. Zombies symbolize for us an army of workers who have given up their individuality and are controlled by a boss or corporate machinery, as vividly depicted in Fritz Lang's 1927 film Metropolis.

Interpretation by day
If a dream with the undead falls on the night from Monday to Tuesday, then this indicates the emotional and psychological state of the sleeper. After waking up, a person may still have unpleasant sensations. In this case, he should refuse new business.
Dreams with zombies from Tuesday to Wednesday do not come true, and night dreams that fall from Wednesday to Thursday are considered prophetic. They help find answers to complex questions and solve financial problems.
If you dream about the risen dead from Thursday to Friday, then you need to pay attention to the problems in your personal life and determine the possible course of development of your relationship with your loved one.
From Friday to Saturday, night visions speak of global changes that will occur in reality in the near future. Dreams with good meanings come true immediately if they fall from Saturday to Sunday. And stories with a negative interpretation mean nothing.
Miller's Dream Book about Zombies
Miller is optimistic about such a dream. From his point of view, the dream simply warns you that your communication is not going well. Something is bothering you in society, perhaps your position at work is causing concern.
There is a chance that you will not feel as confident in the company as you would like. If you have planned some kind of public speech or important negotiations in the near future, then it is better to abandon these plans - there is a high probability that these situations will be traumatic and unsuccessful for you.
Dream books of various esotericists
Night visions with zombies according to the Wanderer’s dream book indicate that the sleeper needs to quickly leave his comfort zone and look for new ways of self-development. Other esotericists give other interpretations of such zombie plots.
Interpretations of dreams with the dead:
- Freud believed that the undead are dreams of a person who is trying to suppress his dark side.
- According to Hasse's dream book, night dreams with zombies promise a meeting with energy vampires.
- Loff interprets the vision as a message that one of his friends or relatives is interfering in a person’s personal life.
- According to Miller, the dream foreshadows difficulties or fear of public speaking.
- Aesop believed that night dreams with zombies meant a weakening of the energy field, which could cause injury. Anyone who has such a dream should handle knives and other dangerous things carefully.
- According to Wallace's dream book, visions of the undead speak of routine matters that a person has to deal with in reality. Sluggish dead people mean going nowhere and lack of time to realize dreams and discover talents.
According to the Mayan dream book, attacking zombies are a symbol of untapped opportunities, and a person lacks dreams and goals.
Some modern esotericists explain this plot by the sleeper’s habit of manipulating those around him in reality. According to the psychoanalytic dream book, a night vision with the running dead speaks of hypocritical people who pretend to be friends, but themselves are planning bad things towards a person.
Other interpretations
If a person dreams of a zombie apocalypse, this means that the sleeper will face significant changes in real life. Sometimes a war with a large number of dead predicts the development of some kind of disease or epidemic. If dead people met in a dream at school or another educational institution, this foreshadows troubles in relationships with classmates.
There are other interpretations of sleep with the undead, which depend on the place of its origin:
- from underground - to the discovery of secrets and riddles;
- from the ocean - to resolve the current situation, which has brought many problems;
- out of nowhere - to a short-term experience of unexpected joy;
- from laboratory experiments - to a speedy recovery.
A zombie attacking other people in a dream can be explained by the fact that the dreamer in reality is envious of a successful person. If in his night dreams he managed to hide from the dead who were chasing him, this indicates a need for personal space.
After a dream with a zombie invasion, people are often overcome by negative emotions. They don't know why they have nightmares. But pictures like this can be a good sign. Esotericists recommend turning to their interpretations and trying to remember all the details of the dream in order to determine the correct meaning of night vision.
Zombies in a modern dream book
According to modern interpreters, zombies can easily foreshadow joyful events. Don’t forget – everything is upside down in a dream, so don’t be surprised. Also, the modern dream book speaks of suppressed will or, on the contrary, the desire to manipulate. Understand yourself! What motives are driving you now? If you had such a dream, then it is best to understand its origins.
Another interpretation is an unexpected event, a strange situation. Expect unusual, strange encounters or absurd situations.
