I really shouldn’t be watching The Walking Dead or even thinking about it before going to sleep. I get nightmares and they are particularly nasty.
A brief summary of my nightmare -
Last night I was in a Zombie infested place. After hiding and fighting them for a bit we were overwhelmed by their sheer number so my brilliant plan was to get into a train. This “Survivor Train” would keep us away from zombies till we are prepared to take them on. The majority of zombies were behind us so we did not expect to find big groups at the place we were going. We had a warning system which warned us if the zombies got too close to our Survivor Train. The train was guarded with snipers and machine guns. We had few brush with death but miraculously escaped. We got some heavy firepower at place similar to Fort Knox and then we went to take on the zombies when I was rudely awakened by my alarm clock.
Now this was not to tell you about my dream but to tell you how the brain presented the series of thoughts, images, and sensations in an intricate way. The chaos was real, the zombies were scary, and the panic was painful. Everything was detailed; I even remember the make of the crossbow I was using. Not something you get to experience watching a movie.
Dream per se is a Grand entertainment system.
