Top ten signs your turning into a Zombie!

Gee, I was watching this TV show on Cable Television ,"The Walking Dead" a fictional story about how thw population of the planet become infested with Zombies, and how the few "normal" survivor , learn to survive...Well its a fictional story but it occured to me that some of those Zombies, could have the same kind of dreams as some live dreamers, including me.



Take this dream for example ( posted with permission)

"I had a dream a few weeks ago which was very odd. I was not me, and nobody in this dream I knew, I didnt recognize anyone. SO I was in the super market and standing on line when I saw a couple of my friends in the front of the line, they were being very immature and making fun on the man behind the counter. I told them that wasn't very nice and the next thing I knew one of the girls pulled out a gun and shot the guy behind the counter, then it was just me and the two other girls, and we all had guns and we were shooting at each other, I shot at one of the girls, but in my dream I consciously remember aiming to miss, she got shot in the arm or something then ran away, the girl who shot the man behind the counter took her gun and put it right up against my head and pulled the trigger and I felt the bullet go into my head and get lodged into my brain, and it HURT! Then I was not dead but in a coma, and then I was in my bed and I could see my parents, which Ive never seen before in real life, they were saying that they wanted to keep me alive, I went into a panic, in real life this is one of my biggest fears, being trapped inside my body!!! Then the scene changed and went to a cafeteria or something where those other two girls were, and nobody knew that were involved in the shooting.. then the narrators voice came over and zoomed in on the evil girl who shot me and The man behind the counter and said something like ' and she went crazy and killed herself' and you see this young vibrant girl turn old and decay right before your eyes. and the narrator also said something like, .. " and her mother was an alien' !! HAHA.. totally out of nowhere it was odd.

Then we go back to me in my bed and the narrator says 'and she fell through' which in my mind I think of the doors break on through to the other side. anyways at that moment I fell through my bed and the wall into the next room. I suddenly could walk and everything for the moment and I was in a hospital room, I was looking for a way to kill myself, cause I didnt want to live in a coma any longer.. I found a very very sharp butcher knife, I went to cut my wrists but I was afraid to do it, I knew it would hurt, but I knew I had no other choice.. so I started looking for something to take, some pills or something, then the doctors and nurses and my parents came in to get me, I was so made that I cut one of the nurses wrists with the knife, I brought the knife down so hard and so fast on her, it was very odd! She was ok though, didnt die or anything. Then I remember running through the halls of the hospital, and taking all these different elevators, there were hundreds and hundreds of them, all going in different directions and so many buttons!! But i was having fun running around.."


I think the worse thing than than murdering someone or causing the terror, is probably becoming part of the'"living dead" yourself, but how do you know you are becoming part of the "living dead"? Dreams might be a good way.

Supposing if any of these "zombies " woke up, became conscious and asked themselves..."What am I doing here?",or "Golly, I need a shower", then there might some hope.

What might a Zombie be thinking while stalking the living.....

"Well joe over there is busting in that supermarket and is attacking Mrs. Marston ( a clerk in the store ), since Joe is a acquiantance of mine, so I might as well join him.".

or another one might be...

"Gee, when will I wake up?"

Stay tuned for top ten signs that your are a Zombie. While watching these shows on TV like "Walking Dead" I was watching that show and wondering, well if your a Zombie , then whats the cure? what if you don't know your a zombie? Lets hope theres a cure.



Top Ten Signs your becoming a Zombie!

"10.Every Time You Speak it Comes Out as a Moan“ One of the classic symptoms of zombification is the loss of coherent speech. Go all the way back to Frankenstein's Monster. The vocal chords are delicate and can be among the first things to go. Try saying this phrase: The rain in Spain stays mainly on the plain. Everything come out okay? Good. If not, you are either a zombie or Eliza Doolittle.

Other Possible Explanation: You are currently engaged in sexual intercourse.

9.People Remark that You Smell Like Roadkill- First of all, if anyone has ever said this within earshot of you...damn. Secondly, I hate to tell you that this is another symptom. You see, dead things smell bad. That's just the way it is. Autolysis and putrefaction lead to the release of gases which are the main cause of that sickly sweet odor of death. Chances are good that you are in fact a reanimated corpse.

Other Possible Explanation: You have poor hygiene. Treatment: Bathe.

8.Passersby Compliment You on Your Sexy Shamble- It is a well-known fact (at least to Romero fans) that zombies have limited mobility. There is no blood flow to the muscles, what would you expect? Not to mention the fact that tendons and other soft tissues will be rotting away. Running zombies may be scarier to some but come on, does it really make sense? Let's be rational here. Hehe. If your walk can be categorized as a lurch or a stumble you could be in real trouble.

Other Possible Explanation: You are drunk.

7.You Have an Uncontrollable Urge to Go to the Mall- I don't know what it is about the mall, but it happens all the time. Is our need for consumerism so prevalent that it reaches beyond the limitations of death? Look at Dawn of the Dead (both versions) and even the video game Dead Rising. Apparently it is just an inevitability. Do you often feel yourself being pulled by the sway of Macy's or Hot Topic? Sounds like zombie time to me.

Other Possible Explanation: You are a teenager or just have nothing better to do.

6.Hunger is Your Only Motivation- Sure we all have the drive to eat in order to sustain our own lives. But if your hunger is all-consuming, if it just won't go away no matter what you eat, if you find yourself walking miles to track down something that smells yummy...you may be a goner. Once you have been infected, nothing else will matter. Your need to feed will prey on your mind like you will prey on your neighbors and you will never be sated.

Other Possible Explanation: You are stoned. (Note: This could also be the underlying cause for many of the signs. Do you also have the urge to watch cartoons and laugh at nothing? If so, you are fine)

5.Your Friends Keep Trying to Bean You on the Head- We all know the most effective way to dispatch the living dead is to kill the brain. A gunshot to the head, a bat to the noggin, a tire iron to the skull...these are all good. And your friends all know this too. If you find yourself having to constantly shield your grey matter from the onslaught of weapons, you may be a zombie.

Other Possible Explanation: You have lousy friends.

4.Your Rate of Decomposition Has Severely Increased- We know that the body begins its slow decline as soon as we are born. The flesh is only designed to sustain life for so long. This is why we age and why we begin to fall apart (figuratively) as we grow older. But if you are literally falling apart, this could be cause for concern. In the case of reanimation, there should also be the characteristic smell we discussed earlier. If you present with both of these symptoms, you are probably among the population of the undead.

Other Possible Explanation: You have leprosy which is generally characterized by skin lesions. Leprosy will not cause your limbs to fall off so if you start dropping body parts on the carpet, you should seek the attention of your local mortician.

3.You Were Pronounced Dead and People Ran Screaming When You Got Up- It is not uncommon, even in today's advanced society, for people to occasionally lose signs of life. Chances are good you could be revived by a team of medical experts or someone on hand to administer the likes of CPR. The usual response is gleeful gratitude expressed by those around you. But if you die and your awakening prompts a negative response, mainly one of fear or repulsion, then you have likely been zombified. If this is the case, I would be on the lookout for number 5 above. That is often the next logical reaction.

Other Possible Explanations: You are rich and your family was waiting for you to kick the bucket or you just aren't very well liked.

2.You Crave Human Flesh- Probably the number one symptom of zombiehood is the need to feed on the flesh of the living. There are various explanations of this phenomena depending upon which canon you follow. Some believe it lessens the pain of being dead. But no matter what you believe, you cannot deny that if this urge suddenly forms, the odds of you being a revenant are highly likely. I recommend you distance yourself from the public as quickly as possible. Most people are not fond of being gnawed on at random.

Other Possible Explanation: You are simply a cannibal. In either case, keep away from me.

1.You Have Been Bitten by a Zombie- This one is undeniable and there is little recourse unless you happen to boast a natural immunity but I wouldn't count on this being the case. If you have in fact been chewed by a member of the living dead, you can go ahead and plan your cremation. The typical funeral will only prolong the effects and cause you discomfort as you attempt to climb out of your grave. You will also probably attack those you love and that is not a pleasant thought for anyone.

Other Possible Explanation: I got nothing. You are screwed, my friend.
