I had a weird dream yesterday. It was a zombie outbreak in the United States. Me and everyone I knew found weapons and killed some zombies. My dream ended with all of us going to an airport and hijacking a plane. It was really weird because I saw the rapper Drake, lol, getting on a plane too so I decided to hitch a ride with him. Then I thought about it and decided I would get on the plane with people I knew so that I was sure everyone was safe. however, before I could get on any plane everybody had taken off and I was left alone with a gun in my hand in a country full of flesh eating zombies....not a very pleasant ending....does anybody know what my dream means?

This is very interesting as it reads exactly like a synopsis for a zombie action movie. Killing zombies, then you realize your getting overrun so you have to retreat. You initially decide to you'd rather go and hang out with a big star instead of people you know then realize they are more important. That is the character arc, realizing what is truly important instead of what you thought was.

Then near the end your stuck all alone with what appears to be no hope. You see that in action movies, at some point it looks like the hero can't win then somehow she does.

So the end where your stuck all alone with seemingly no hope and your family leaving without you could be interpreted as you have anxiety about those things. Or part of you wishes you could be in a big adventure like in movies, like you wish your life was more exciting. Dreams cannot go on forever, at some point you'll go out of the dream cycle whether the story wants to or not. Sounds like the dream went on for a long time already.

Most likely a combination of the two as is it a coincidence that you ended right at that point instead of a few minutes later or earlier? Often what happens right at the end of a dream is the message subconscious is trying to give.

You also have the part where your initially more interested in being with a star, celebrity, then realize family is more important. Again though character arc is part of action movies. Still likely something subconscious is saying as your subconscious chose that character realization instead of any other and for some action movies no character arcs exist.

Probably part of all 3.

Too bad the dream ended, was very looking forward to learning how you would get out of that situation.

The first part, probably nothing, but around here,

It seems (to my mind) has become different, it sounds like the dream is expressing abandonment, or hoplessness, or the feeling of being alone, or all the above.
Simaller things showed up in my dreams when I was depressed, as the depression bled over into my dreams.
Or I'm wrong, the only person who can say for sure what it means is you.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
