ESSAY : What is the symbolic meaning of zombies in dreams?

Zombies are occasional symbols in dreams. They may have several theoretical meanings. They may refer to the mindless acceptance of ideas and a general unquestioning nature. They maybe also refer to a tired listless state possibly after illness.

Zombies can link to boredom. If you are unable to do anything meaningful then your mind goes blank. E.g.

"I am bored and frustrated with my husband. It is very emotionally draining on a day to day basis. Sometimes I find it difficult to be in the same room"[Dream symbol - zombies][Dream symbol - the full dream on which this quote is based is featured in full at the end of this article]

"Being unemployed is getting to me. It is just the endless MINDLESS BOREDOM of it all"[Dream symbol - zombie]

"I have been grounded by my parents. I am bored out of my mind"[Dream symbol - ]

"I just hate economics lessons. Sometimes the clock seems to go backwards - its that slow"[Dream symbol - zombies and economics lesson]

Zombies can represent people who will simply not think rationally. E.g.

"I try to avoid my boyfriends ex. She simply hates me. Its pointless trying to get on with her as she simply repeats the same old mindless nonsense"[Dream symbol - zombies and economics lesson]

Zombies can relate to moments when you are unable to act and feel paralysed. E.g.

"I feel as if I have a real fear of social situations., I just do not know how to react. I am encountering situations I have never had experience of. I am used to a much more quieter way of life"[Dream symbol - zombies]

"I feel sorry for my new friend. I know he is nervous but I just do not know what to say to him. There are moments of real silence when I just do not know what to say"[Dream symbol - zombies]

But Zombies may well be symbolic of exhaustion. Often we walk around in a zombified state whilst recovering from illness.

"I am starting to recover after my illness but sometimes I still feel EXHAUSTED"[Dream symbol - zombies chasing dream]

"I often get zombie dreams shortly before I become ill"[Dream symbol - being chased by zombies]

Zombies can symbolise moments when you are unable to think clearly. Incapable of making a decision. E.g.

"I have been on my cousins case recently as she tends to panic"[Dream symbol - zombies chase cousin]

"I was at a conference yesterday and things went wrong when I had to speak. I had not printed out my notes properly. I panicked and did not know what to do"[Dream symbol - zombies]

Zombies can symbolise emotions when you are unable to think of anything else. E.g.

"Me and my boyfriend met up for a short while. We only had eyes for each other. It was wonderful"[Dream symbol - the dreamer and her boyfriend are zombies]

Zombies exist in a state where they are not alive yet they are not dead. They may symbolise something in your life that has similr features. E.g.

"Me and my boyfriend are trying to keep our relationship going even though we are in a long distance relationship. The relationship is not really happening and existing in any normal sense"[Dream symbol - zombies]

"I have got to accept that the relationship is over. Its been over for some time. I keep hoping against hope that we can get back together"[Dream symbol - zombies trying to get into house]

Zombies can a routine which is numbing your brain. E.g.

"I have been very lazy. There is nothing to do where I am stationed right now and the days are all the same. I have decided to start working out more and snap myself out of some bad habits"[Dream symbol - not letting the zombies eat me]

"I was thinking about my life before I went to bed last night. I have the same routine all the time. People do not appreciate my efforts."[Dream symbol - Trying to kill zombies]

Zombies can show you are lacking creative ideas in some way. E.g.

"I have been trying to complete my book. I get moments of real inspiration yet then I get stuck and cannot think of anything"[Dream symbol - trying to stay away from zombies ]

SAMPLE DREAM
-----------------------------
THE DREAM My husband Corey was in a bed with blue blankets and white sheets and he was sleeping with his ex-girlfriend. I didn't know though until I went in the room because I was waiting outside the room for him to come out for along time before I went in. I saw the girl and Corey said he didn't care, I could stay with him if I wanted but, I couldn't stop him from cheating on me. And he was being REALLY EXTREMELY mean. I followed her into this big bathroom with metal sinks and huge mirrors and I beat her up really, really bad. She was unconscious when I left.

I ran into the living room and tried to call my sister to tell her what happened and I was bawling, I felt bad for beating her up and for him cheating on me. I couldn't remember the number and I was freaking out but, I was talking on her phone? when I reached her it was busy. I didn't want to leave the house because there were vampires and monster things like the kind from silent hill all over outside. When I left I went onto the front porch and Corey followed me and I started puking everywhere because I was really stressed out and upset. It was gross, it was a lot.

Corey looked like he felt sorry for a minute but, then he went inside with his ex-girlfriend. I ran onto the road and there were vampires everywhere, I ran into this room with a giant movie screen and a carasoul in the middle of the room that was on but, no one was riding it. There were zombies and vampires aimlessly walking around the room and they acted like they didn't notice me. All I remember thinking was I was really, really, sad about Corey but, I was like, "o well at least I can be with my ex boyfriend now" and it made me a little bit happier. I ran out of the room and I found a guy who was trying to help me get away from the vampires and stuff. All, I remember is that and the whole dream I remember I was so depressed like really, really sad and when I woke up I was really confused because the dream felt like it was real. I started crying when I woke up because of the intense sadness

THE REALITY The dreamer was bored with her husband because he keeps emotionally draining her everyday. She has no energy left for anything else. The dreamer was also paranoid about her husband cheating on her.

THE INTERPRETATION Often its best to pick up on one symbol. In this case quite an interesting symbol is the zombies. Zombies mean several things but in this dream there are many reasons to suggest that the dream links with boredom. Zombies can link to the mindless and overwhelming monotony we are feeling. They express the lack of inspiration. Here they are linked to the dreamer walking in and out of the rooms. There is a general feel of frustration. That is an emotional linked to boredom. In this case the dreamer confirmed that she was feeling frustrated and bored with her husband.

She also mentioned that she was drained by her husband. Often fighting is linked to things that emotionally drain us. They symbolise how we are fighting against something. It is linked to things that are consuming our energy. Its an intense effort and thats just how the dreamer feels. The fighting with her husbands ex girfriend especially links to her paranoia about her husband cheating on her.

The dream also seems to recreate the day to day situations. In the dream she was waiting outside for a long time. We build up that sense of real time unhappiness. The dream could have well summed up the dreamers day to day emotions at that time. The situation was building up. Little things that meant nothing eat away inside you. Many feelings are within our own heads. Nothing in particular may have happened that day but the dreamer was maybe starting to stagnate inside and frustration was feeding frustration.

Often its best to simply look at the emotions within a dream. Emotions are usually not symbolic. They just represent the same emotions appearing in your own life. Here they are quite clear - boredom,frustration and paranoia. They are probably capturing particular emotions that featured during the day before.

Symbolic Meanings
FIGHT : "your inner frustrations. You are fighting against something which is consuming all your energy"
MONSTERS : "feelings getting out of hand."
WAITING : "capturing the real time sense of frustration"
ZOMBIES : "boredom and a lack of inspiration in your life"

CONTACT : If you went to sleep thinking of something that had dominated your entire day then I would be highly interested in any dreams you had that night.
