Terrifying nightmare! Any ideas?

Question

Last night I had a dream wherein a disease took over the planet--everyone was dying and becoming zombies for a little bit postmortem. My family, friends and I went to save my grandmother, but my grandfather (who is actually recently deceased) had already gotten to her. We had to retreat inside and not come out--outside meant disease and zombies, but I had to go out to save one of my cats. I was so scared! I made it back in, and tried to contact my loved ones, but because the world was dying out, phones and internet no longer worked. Regardless, most of my loved ones survived, until the very end when the last people who didn't have natural immunities died, including my dad and my boyfriend of 2 and a half years.

I don't watch zombie movies. Ever. I lost a fiance' to the war by a shot to the head, so I can't handle it. My life is generally good, I am having a few issues figuring out college, but that's it. I don't understand this. Any ideas?

Answer 2

Okay to the guy with the constant dreamoods dictionary quotes, give it a rest already.....

(my guess) It sounds like you are suffering from the fairly recent loss of your husband and even grandfather.  You seem to be questioning your own mortality and especially of those around you.   There is definitely fear as a result of the tragedy of the war and the recent losses.... and part of you feels like a victim to it.... maybe even hiding from the world a little bit.

Usually a cat is a symbol for femininity or those attributes to femininity including intuition... part of you feels that you need to protect this perhaps.

I've had a similar dream many years ago when I lost my grandfather..... fear that I would lose everyone close to me.  Anyways that's my take on it
