I'm starting to notice a theme here with my dreams...
I'm in a group with Marie, Elizabeth, Michelle, Otis, a coworker LT, Robert, and some brunette girl I interpreted to be LT's fiancée. We show up to a house/apartment complex that is surrounded by woods. Robert and I go off by ourselves to look for supplies. We hear another group of people in distance. There is a man who looks to be our age with dirty blonde hair and a red shirt. There is a girl who appears to be a few years younger that I assume to be his sister with him. Robert and I try to get around unnoticed. We hear a shriek in the distance. Robert hoists me up into a tree to protect me from the people coming towards us. Robert tells me to climb higher. I beg him to climb up here with me but he says he has to go warn the others. I tell him to run as fast as he can and stop for no one. He grabs my hand, gives it a kiss, and tells me to stay up in the tree until it is safe to come down. I see the younger man running towards us with his sister chasing after him. He jumps in the tree with me.
We are in the tree for what seems like hours. I climb down to check if the coast is clear. I try to hurry back but the young man keeps trying to tag along (I've seen enough zombie movies to know you can't just let strangers in your group). I get tired of handling the situation and hope that the rest of my group can deal with him since there's more of us.
We arrive at the house/apartment thing. There is a shed adjacent to it with Styrofoam walls. There are a TON of cars surrounding the complex. I notice my phone battery is low. I want to contact Robert, so I search for a phone charger. Marie only seems to have Android chargers. I decide to conserve the battery in case Robert reaches out to me. I do begin to panic, however. Robert is no where in sight. Otis says he saw Robert walk into the abandoned apartment complex. LT volunteers to check the building with me. If there is a hoard in there, I won't be able to hold them off alone.
We enter a room that looks like a warehouse. It is full of teenagers and preteens like up for what looks like a school dance. They are in formal attire and there is a table set up with chaperones to check them in. LT and I become concerned knowing that if any of them turn, it's game over. We push through them and I see Robert in a corner turned away. I run up to him (terrible idea dream me!!) and he pushes me away. I look at his arm and see blood trickling down it. I know he got bit. I try to run to him again in tears. He tells LT to hold me back and take me to the others because he will turn any second. I yell to Robert to come with me and that I won't leave his side. He gives me a kiss on the forehead and nods to LT. LT is practically dragging me out of the building. I am screaming for him to let go of me.
We hear the teenagers screaming. LT shoves me out of the warehouse and we run towards the group. I tell Michelle that we have to leave now. I hear the Styrofoam walls cracking and know the zombies are coming. Michelle is taking her sweet time throwing her stuff into the white sedan we're driving. I try to hurry her along but she gets mad that I'm rushing her. I start throwing her stuff haphazardly into the car and tell her we'll pack it up later. She insists on driving and I tell her we don't need to be arguing about these things right now. We just need to be quick and leave now! We manage to get into the car just as zombies break through the wall.
I tell Michelle to speed. She keeps insisting she is going as fast as she can (she's only going 52 mph?). We see a young Asian man in the distance with a long, black trench coat and a headpiece that looks like black antlers. He's wearing heavy eye liner and has a blank stare. I know him to be in a cult that put a curse on mankind to cause a zombie infection. He begins running after our car. I yell for Michelle to drive faster. She says she can't because she might hit a child in the street (??we're in the middle of nowhere??). I tell her to pullover and I'll drive. I tell her to keep the doors locked and we'll just change places (again, why are we stopping?). She says she won't be able to fit to climb into the back seat (why can't she just sit in the passenger seat?). I tell her to get out quickly (we're idiots in my dream world apparently). We somehow manage to pull this off. I drive us to a nearby Food Fair that looks like a cute country store.
The interior is a light-stained wood with red striped canopies over the checkout area. I pickup some hot chocolate packets (in real life I raved about these) and candy for the road. The lady at the cash register informs us that we get a free mug with out purchase today. I pick out one that looks like Elmo and his mom in yellow pajamas. I tell Michelle that I'm going to give it to LT as a thank you present for saving me.
