I don't remember the last time I had a nice dream. It's always the same, i'm running for my life from these infected, flesh eating things. Or the world is falling apart and i'm fighting to survive. They are so vivid, and I can remember how scared I felt and the exact way everything looks and feels. Been like this since I was a kid, I never wake up rested!

I have tons and tons of nightmares. Not all of my dreams are nightmares, but most of them are. I mostly have nightmares that something bad has happened to either my husband or one of my kids. I used to remember all of my dreams, now I barely remember and then they are nightmares.
But what you said reminded me that about nine years ago I was always dreaming about the zombie apocolypse. Like every night for several months it was zombies everywhere in my dreams. Except I was a zombie hunter and killing all the zombies. It was also in this time that I ended up finally telling my ex husband I wanted a divorce. I often wonder if killing the zombies was like bringing down the dead relationship metephorically. Because I was really afraid to tell him I wanted out, because I thought he would take away my oldest son... which turned out to be true.
So maybe the zombies are a metephore for something you've outgrown but are still afraid of or still haunting you?
