Interesting topic!!! I have been having a lot of zombie dreams lately, but only because I've been playing the game "Left 4 Dead" a lot.
I have a different take on zombie dreams. I see it from a spiritual perspective. I'm gonna abandon psychology for a minute and move up a level to spirituality. To me zombies represents spiritual death. I've always believed that the original vampire and zombie movies were based on dreams. I believe in addition to being lifeforce, there is also deathforce. I used to be overwhelmed by zombies in my dreams. A few things I learned helped me to overcome this plague.
You can't use death to kill that which is already dead. Killing anything whether it be humans, zombies, vampires, etc only generates more deathforce the same way promoting life generates lifeforce. Lifeforce animates the living (i.e. humans, heavens angels, etc.) and deathforce animates the dead (ie.e zombies, vampires, etc.) Zombies don't need brains and vampires don't need blood. Ultimately what they crave is death and destruction because that's what gives them power. So when you try to kill a zombie in your dreams your only helping them to generate the deathforce they need to manifest more zombies. Life defeats death. That's why love is the greatest gift and life is so precious. Life defeats death and love improves the quality of our lives giving that life more meaning. Cupids are the perfect metaphor illustrating this. A Cupid is a cherub and a CHERUB IS ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL ANGELS THERE ARE outside of a seraphim. A cherub is even more powerful then an archangel. So then why do they carry bows and arrows that promote love? It might seem superficial, but that bow and arrow is the most powerful weapon one can use against evil. The use of this bow and arrow is a metaphor illustrating how the weapon of the righteous is love.
So in your dreams try to use love to defeat evil. Of course that's easier said then done, but it's an ultimate truth that will help you overcome spiritual death. If you were a zombie would you want someone to kill you or heal you back to life. You must give what you would want to be given. If you want life you must project life and the life you give is the life you will receive. That's why you must give to others what you would want others to give to you, because God gives us what we give to others; even zombies and vampires.
Because the universe in your dreams is a manifestation of you own thoughts, what you see in your dreams is simply a reflection of your own mental state.
There are many forces and these forces are generated by different spiritual paths we take. I believe taoist believe this. I think the movie "Kung Fu Hustle" illustrates this concept perfectly. In the movie there are several types of Kung Fu masters. Each master has a unique ability that seems to correlate with their personality traits. For example, the landlady has the lions roar which is an extraordinary ability to yell. Her yell is like a sonic boom. For her the yell is a perfected Kung Fu art. The landlady's husband is used to being beat up by his affectionately abusive wife alot. As a result he's like plastic man in that he can absorb blows like a piece of plastic. The two most interesting characters are the kung fu master called The Beast which i believe is a reference to the unholy beast in the Book of Revelations and main character who is a gangster wanna be who repents and becomes a good guy. The Beast is one of the most powerful Kung Fu fighters in the movie, but the gangster wanna be's who discovers his hidden kung fu ability "The heavenly Palm" is able to defeat the beast. The wanna be had this extraordinary ability to heal after ordinarily severe and near fatal wounds. The wanna be stops being a wanna be and defeats the beast not by killing him and not by hurting him, but instead he defeats him by getting him to repent. In the end, the heavenly palm doesn't kill or injure, but instead the heavenly palm heals. This movie illustrates how the power to heal defeats evil, not the power to hurt. The wanna be used lifeforce to purge the deathforce possessing the beast thus encouraging him to repent.
I think the movie Dracula 2000 Illustrates the concept of deathforce. In this movie we learn that Val Helsing didn't kill Dracula. He only crippled him by placing a stake through his heart and burying him. By removing the stake you in essence restore him. The movie addresses the concept of how to defeat that which is already dead. At the end of the movie they say that Dracula was originally Judas and that only forgiving Dracula would weaken him enough to be able to stop him once and for all. While i don't think Dracula is Judas, the point is that evil gets it's power from death so putting stake through the heart is out of the question. instead using the power of saving, one can defeat evil.
