I was with a team of random DCs in a large abandoned facility. I was the leader of the team and I had split us up into two groups of three. One group searched the floor we were on and the other (my group) was to take the elevator to the bottom floor. The elevator was like a massive cargo elevator. Me, another guy, and a female wearing glasses and a baseball hat stepped into the elevator. I pressed the button and the doors began to close. Suddenly the female unexpectedly kicks/shoves the guy out of the elevator before the door closes. I reached for my pistol, but it wasn't there. The female had removed her glasses and hat. She was now pointing my gun at me and I realized why she had looked familiar. It was Annette Birkin (from Resident Evil 2). I thought, "Shit! Now what am I going to do." She seemed to understand what I was thinking. She smiled and said, "And now...you help me get my husbands research." I asked her why she couldn't just get it herself and she told me, "You will see soon enough." As the elevator began to slow down, water started pouring in from the bottom of the elevator. The water was up to my knees before the elevator stopped moving and the door opened.

I a short hallway that lead to an all too familiar door (which was half submerged in water). I knew what was behind it, and I thought of a plan. I opened the door and entered into a very large circular room. The entire room was flooded and I was standing on a metal walkway that wrapped around the entire room. I looked at Annette and said, "Follow me...closely." I took off running and noticed a pair of fins approaching. I made it to the closest door and entered as two sharks leapt out of the water and attempted to eat us. We were now in a smaller flooded room. I noticed several smaller sharks swimming around (about 2 foot in length). I hopped up on some floating debris and suddenly became lucid for no apparent reason. I began hopping around on the floating debris as the sharks leapt out of the water and snapped at my legs. Annette had found the suitcase containing the G-Virus kit in a floating dresser. I then leapt into the air and glided back to the door. I opened it up and we exited back into the circular room. As soon as I closed the door a shark jumped up out of the water. I jumped up to meet it, ripped out one of its teeth, and then split its stomach open. Tons of sharks swarmed and started a feeding frenzy on the freshly gutted beast. We ran to the nearest door and entered.

There was no water in the room. It contained a staircase that descended several flights. Once we reached the bottom, there was another door. We entered and found ourselves in department store. There was a holding tank on the far left that house a massive shark. It was neptune from Resident Evil. There seemed to be no one in the store but the two of us. I walked around for a bit until I heard the sound of glass shattering. I looked out toward the direction of the noise and saw a horde of zombies running at us. Suddenly, people came popping out from behind shelves, clothing racks, etc. They all had guns, swords, baseball bats, etc. I battled along with them. I grabbed a mop and began rocking some zombie head. I impaled one zombie through the mouth with the mop and then yanked its head off. After the horde was defeated, I noticed that the leader of these survivors was Michael Jordan and Lebron James.

I thought, "Well, I suppose it makes sense that two of the most athletic people would be able to avoid death by zombie. I talked to them and asked them how they got here. They had lead a group of 22 people into the department store to wait it out for help that never came. There were only 11 of them left. Lebron showed me his stomach which had several bleeding claw marks. I asked if the zombies got him and he told me it happened before we got there. He fought and killed a Hunter that had broken in with his bare hands. I yelled at Anette to bring the anti-virus from her kit. She refused, I laughed and said, "You just wrote your ticket to hell." I noticed she was standing in front of the shark tank. I imagined the scene from the RE Remake and the shark began slamming into the glass. Annette attempted to run away, but I flew over to her and tossed her back in front of the tank. The shark burst through and chomped her clean in half. Her top half was trying ti crawl away, when the shark flopped up and bit off her head. It managed to finish the rest of her off, before MJ put a bullet in its brain. I picked up the suitcase that she had dropped and gave Lebron the anti-virus. I heard shattered glass again, and another horde of zombies entered the store. I awoke while fighting off the zombies.

Wow, 3 lucids in a row involving Resident Evil elements and zombies .

...I transitioned pretty smoothly back into the dream state. I was staring at a dark sky. I sat up and noticed I was laying in the middle of the street. I stood up and looked around. The buildings were all dilapidated and many windows were busted out. I figured I was in the same environment as the previous dream. I wondered if there were still zombies everywhere. I then noticed someone running toward me off in the distance. I got a weird feeling that there was something behind me, so I took flight immediately. I looked down where I was and saw about 20 zombies close in on where I was previously standing. I flew out into the distance away from the city and toward a forest.

The forest was thick, but not very deep. I flew through it in seconds and landed on the other side. I was now standing in a massive field. The previously high grass was bent over, yellowed, and dying. Of into the horizon, I could see a massive smoke cloud and fire bursting into the sky. I wondered if there some sort of explosion. I began to jog across the field when I noticed a huge black cloud approaching. As it got closer, I noticed it wasn't a cloud at all. It was a huge swarm of creatures. I zoomed in my eyesight by focusing on one of the creatures and imaging that I had an optical zoom installed in my right eye. They appeared to be man-sized, infected locust. I'm not a big fan of bugs in general, so I turned and hauled ass out of the field.

I took flight and flew over top of the forest and back toward the city. I could hear the buzzing of the locust approaching me from behind. I was soon swarmed by the huge locust. I managed to fight off a couple of them, but was ultimately knocked out of the air my their massive numbers. As I fell, everything went pitch black. I felt my body slam hard into the ground, and my vision slowly came back into focus.

It was now night time. I was in some sort of construction area/heavy machinery junkyard. There were massive steel beams connecting piles of trash, old cars, and giant machinery. The only light was produced by small fires scattered throughout the maze-like junkyard. I heard someone approaching and I knew it meant trouble. I ducked down behind a massive I-beam, but the guy spotted me and began shooting. I stood up and walked slowly toward him. He fired his whole clip into me and I just kept walking. The bullets felt pleasant. Like a gental massage. I ripped the gun (uzi) out of the soldiers hand, put the barrel to his head, and blasted him. I noticed an Umbrella patch on the soldiers arm sleeve. I then figured I would search for Chris Redfield and try to recruit him for my dream army.

I took off running through the junkyard and got in a few shooting matches with some more umbrella soldiers wearing hunk-like masks. I won these easily as I performed some nifty acrobatics. A lot of dive-shooting and some hand-to-hand combat that ended with bullets to the brain. I finally found Chris shooting at some zombies infected with las plagas. I joined him in the gun fight. We shot down a couple zombies that had the parasite sprouting from their heads. I noticed that there was a massive group of zombies approaching us. Chris motioned for me to follow and we took off running toward a Jeep. We both jumped in and took off.

There were now 5 of us in the Jeep. Me, Claire Redfield, and some other guy was in the back seat. Chris and Barry Burton were in the front. I asked where we were headed and Barry told me there was a place called, "Hilltop Haven." It was apparently free of infection. I offered to fly the jeep there, but they said we were almost there. I began to imagine zombies running out onto the road. A few moments later, zombies began wandering out into the road. Chris was screaming, "Wooooo Haaaa!" and flooring it. Zombies were being pummeled by the jeep. I cheered along with them and Claire started crying. I looked at her and she said, "What has the world come to?" I wrapped my arms around her and kissed her. I told her that it would be ok. I handed her a gun from the floorboard and told her to release some frustration. She then shot the guy who was sitting next to us. I was a little shocked and she smiled and said, "He was bitten. I noticed it earlier." I thought, "Well, shit. So much for helping a guy out by finding the antidote."

We arrived at a large fenced in area at the very top of a hill. The fence was a pathetic-looking chainlink fence with barbed wire on top. I laughed at the thought of a zombie hoard being thwarted by this fence. Chris must have noticed because he told me to stay away from the fence. He said it had some crazy amount of high voltage running through it. Naturally, I walked right up to the fence and touched it. Electricity sparked as i touched it and I jerked my hand away. I looked and my hand had blue electricity flowing off the end of my fingertips (like in the demonstrations). I got back in the jeep and we entered the area. We pulled up to a decent sized log cabin. Claire grabbed my hand as I exited the vehicle and we entered the cabin. I told Chris that the dream will likely be ending soon and I would like him to join my army. He accepted as long as Claire had a position in the army as well. I agreed and obtained two more Stars of Destiny. Me and Claire through the cabin which had doors separating each room. Sometimes there were two or three doors back to back that you had to open. Finally we found the master bedroom that had a giant mirror running along the wall. I looked into the mirror and noticed I had dreadlocks. I started doing jumping jacks and my reflection was lagging behind. I awoke while playing in the mirror with my slow reflection

Me and a two others (a male pilot and a female) were in a small plane, flying over a deserted/destroyed city. The plane was almost the exact same one from Resident Evil: Code Veronica. We were looking through the windows down to the streets and could see massive amounts of zombies littering the streets. Suddenly, an alarm went off within the plane. The pilot yelled at me and the girl to go check out the back of the plane. I already knew what was waiting for us back there, so I told the girl to stay with the pilot. I open the door and walked into the large storage area. The back of the plane was open and I saw a shadowy figure in the corner. It stepped out and as I suspected, it was the Tyrant.

It sprinted toward me and I dove out of the way. Tyrant was slashing the corner of the plane to pieces with the giant claw on his arm. I began looking for the switch that ejects equipment from the room, but noticed that the Tyrant had been hacking it to pieces the whole time. I thought, "That isn't supposed to happen. How am I going to knock this big bastard out of the plane now?" I continued to dodge his attacks, but he got closer and closer until he sliced a huge tear in my arm. I looked at it and could see the bone in my arm. There was a gash in the bone as well. I started to look around the room in a semi-panic, trying to find something I could use. I heard the pilot calling "mayday" from the front of the plane. He then said, he was going to try and crash land on top of a building. I decided there was only one way to deal with the Tyrant.

I position myself right in front of the opening to the back of the plane. The tyrant lunged at me with his giant claw. I jump-turned, so the claw missed, but his shoulder connected with me and we both fell out of the plane. When I jumped, I had brought my knees to my chest and placed my feet against the tyrants shoulder. I grabbed hold around his head with my hands and held on tight as we fell from the plane. I saw the edge of the building that the pilot was crash landing on, so I released my grip and kicked off the Tyrant as hard as I could. I stretched out and managed to grab the edge of the building. I watched the Tyrant fall hundreds of feet to a splattering death as I hung on the side of the building. My plan had worked perfectly.

I pulled myself to the top of the building and saw the plane bounce off the roof and then back into the air. It circled around and I noticed that the bastards were leaving me. I turned around to observe my surroundings and saw a skylight. I looked down through the skylight and saw hundreds of zombies rushing up the stairs that lead to the roof. I returned to my "hanging on the side of the building" position and pulled myself up to watch what happened. The zombies busted through the door and began searching the rooftop. I noticed a couple of them were taller and were holding huge machetes. I turned and looked behind me. It was a long way down and the city was destroyed. There were fires scattered throughout and smoke pouring out of several locations. It was dusk and the sun was starting to descend below the horizon. I noticed a harbor nearby and thought, "I could just fly over to the harbor wait it out on the water." I was borderline lucid for a while, but this is when I fully became aware.

I kicked off the wall and began flying around the city. I noticed there was a large ship in the harbor and I knew it was Arcadia (the ship from the newest RE movie). I pondered exploring it, but decided to swoop through the city again before exploring the ship. I turned around and headed back for the city. This time, I flew much lower through the city. I felt up and down my legs for my gun holder and pulled out a pistol. I decided I would perform some fly-by shootings on the zombies below. I pulled the trigger of the gun and found out it was a fully automatic pistol. I thought to myself, "It must be a 'metal storm' pistol." After thinking this, the pistol started firing at an unbelievable rate. I began obliterating the zombies below. Their bodies were being torn to shreds by the "god-like" fire rate of the pistol. As I flew threw the city killing hundreds of zombies, I was amazed at how stable the dream was while all of this was going on.

I flew back to the harbor which was now much smaller than before (looked like a large pond), Arcadia had now turned into a small jungle boat with a straw roof. I figured I would fly down and check it out. As I landed the dream became unstable and I managed to save it with a few stabilization RCs. I walked through the doorway and saw the boat was unoccupied. There was a mini-store inside complete with a beer cooler and everything. The dream became unstable again and I felt it slipping away. I immediately prepared to DEILD...
