Zombie
Going through the motions
What it often means
Zombies in dreams embody life drained of life — routine without meaning, a part of you moving but not truly awake. A horde can mirror the fear of losing yourself to conformity or exhaustion; being one can name a numbness you have been carrying.
When it tends to appear
- During burnout or emotional numbness
- When routine has hollowed out meaning
- When you fear losing yourself to the crowd

- 3
What would it take to wake that part back up?
