Dream #1

last night i dreamt. i dreamt of zombies and the half dead. i dreamt of mayhem and chaos and then peace. i dreamt of stages and rings and fisher’s of men.

there were no tears from me. but, it was frustrating; people don’t listen; people don’t want to listen or can’t. i would call everyone together and began to speak to them about what was coming, about what we were going to do but, as soon as i would begin to speak they would talk amongst themselves or leave and look at other things. they just could not listen. i tried for what seemed hours to speak to them and tell them the truth and what was to come and what we should do. but, i could not.

then they came. the zombies.

they came and mixed with us and slowly slowly began to eat our flesh and drink our blood. those that i had tried to speak to cried out to me in fear crying for me to help them.
I watched from above as they ate a woman’s flesh while she was still alive. a thought fleeted through my mind only briefly because it was not my thought; it did not belong to me. but, the thought none the less was laughter – laughter that these fools would not listen to me.

instead this thought was banished quickly and i stood above and watched and called out to them and showed them where i stood and that i was; i AM alive. they came with their hungry eyes to eat my flesh but they could not have me. i am ALIVE and i am HIS and they can not touch me. they were so angry and so they ripped into other’s flesh in front of me, but those people were already dead.

so that was the dream i had last night into this morning. while i was thinking on this some other things popped into my mind as well.
things like: zombie apocalypse and there shall be a reckoning.

i want to take a closer look at this a moment. what is a zombie? well, we all know what they look like in comics and in the movies but, what is the definition of zombie?
