Psychological Meanings in Zombie Dreams

Fear and Anxiety in Zombie Dreams

 

One of the simplest ways of interpreting zombie dreams is that they show fear as well as anxiety. The ever-pursuing yet lifeless undead may signify things in your conscious realm that make you feel stressed or uneasy. Maybe there is a work deadline stressing you out or maybe your personal relationship makes you anxious all the time. These fears could come to life in your dreams as scenarios characterized by an invasion of zombies.

Being Overpowered in Zombie Dreams

Overwhelm can be represented by zombies too. This stems from the fact that in most zombie scenarios, the numbers are huge. If you feel like there is too much on your plate; work, school, personal responsibilities, then your mind might use zombies as a metaphor for feeling overwhelmed.

Another common theme in dreams about zombies is the loss of control. Zombies are dumb and uncontrollable and therefore they may represent situations in which one feels they have lost power over themselves. It could be a job that’s becoming too demanding or a personal situation that’s spiraling out of your hands. The zombies represent that chaos and your struggle to regain control.
