In a very cinematic way, my dream starts with a scene at a grocery store. I'm not here but dream me is aware that it's happening (if you know, you know). The grocery store looks like a disaster zone. There is blood along the shelves which look like they've been hit multiple times with heavy objects. There is food thrown around. There is an old man hiding on top of one of the shelves. There is an Asian baby crying below him. An Asian couple is limping through the aisles. They're both zombies. The Asian woman stops by her baby and bites it. The old man leans over in horror as he hears her teeth gnawing the soft flesh. The Asian man looks up at him with blood dripping down his face. He starts climbing the shelves and eventually grabs a hold of the old man with his hand. The old man falls down and the Asian man starts eating at him.
I'm walking into what looks like a very fancy hotel in a big city. Dream me understands it to be Pittsburgh (wow, this really is a nightmare). I'm at a bachelorette party for a former girl from my high school, KR, along with CB, Michelle, and a few other girls that I don't know. It's is the night before KR's wedding and for whatever reason I was tasked with throwing this whole thing together. The front desk agrees to take all of our luggage up to our rooms while we go explore the town. I made reservations for a brunch at this nice restaurant up the road. We head over there and it's an outdoor seating area covered by a canopy with fairy lights. It kind of reminds me of some of the restaurants we ate at in Italy. We sit down and I'm immediately embarrassed by the actions of KR and CB. They go to the kitchen to sneak desserts they didn't order. They walk by tables and take drinks from people while they aren't looking. Michelle is so embarrassed that she decides to go to the bathroom to avoid the confrontation of the restaurant staff asking us to leave. I apologize to the wait staff and tell KR and CB that maybe we should go do something else. THANKFULLY they agree!
The dream cuts to the wedding night which is on a boat (interesting because KR did get married on a boat). It's very fancy with waiters handing out glasses of champagne (I think we're at the reception). Michelle looks disgruntled because there are people here that showed up sick (uh oh!) and we're all on a boat together. I agree that this was not the place to come if you aren't feeling well. I feel uneasy at the situation because one person is very sick. She leans over the boat and throws up. We realize it's blood. She falls to the floor and starts seizing. People crowd around her. I grab Michelle's arm and lead us to one of the lower decks to avoid people. I tell her we need to come up with an escape plan. This is the worst place we could be considering we're trapped with people who could turn any second. I see a life boat and we decide that's the best choice (sorry everyone on the ship I guess). We hear screams and a half eaten corpse falls to our deck as we try to cut this life boat from the ropes. There is blood going everywhere. Eventually we get the boat free and get into the water just as people are running towards us. We paddle to shore.
Pittsburgh is not in any better condition. We hear screams in the distance and the occasional person running. We agree that we can't just stay in this life boat forever and that we have to find shelter somewhere. There is a convenience store just off the boat dock. We think we might be able to find some weapons there since it has fishing supplies (???). We walk in and it looks like a HUGE grocery store similar to the one at the beginning of my dream. There are people hiding but no one looks visibly injured or hurt. We try to remain calm. We hear a woman scream and the sounds of a hoard coming through. I help Michelle climb on top of a shelf. She grabs my hand to help me up but I feel a very sharp pain near my ankle. I look down and there is an infect infant that has crawled over and bit my ankle. I immediately let go of Michelle's hand and tell her sorry that I definitely can't be up there with her.
I can feel myself turning. I get very hot all of a sudden and feel like I'm going to be sick. I can see people running around. The zombies are avoiding me. I see a woman in the corner hiding holding a baby (lots of babies in this dream wtf). My initial thought is that I could eat her baby (equally wtf). I realize how scary and disturbing that is and decide the best option would be to kill myself before I turn. I wonder if there is an aisle that has kitchen knives. I wonder if this is a situation that I have to kill myself in the head or if I just bleed out before I turn if that will suffice since I was killed before I turned. My fear is that I won't kill myself immediately if I stab myself in the head but if I slit my throat, I'll surely bleed out in a matter of seconds (very gruesome way to go so again, I reiterate, wtf). Thankfully, I woke up!
