Dreaming the Zombie Apocalypse

I dreamed that I survived the zombie apocalypse. The details of what I had to do to survive as my friends and neighbors turned into zombies have faded, as all dreams do, but the emotion has stuck with me. The fear is visceral. I still felt some of the adrenaline coursing through my body after I woke up and I couldn't get back to sleep.

But the dream also continued the next morning when we had survived the night. I could see the destruction in the aftermath, but there were no more zombies. I also felt this emotion even more strongly. It was relief that it was over but it was mixed with fear that it would happen again. I didn't know what caused people to turn into zombies so I didn't know if it would happen again.

I really hope this isn't one of those precognitive dreams.
