If zombies then...
Nov. 18th, 2025 03:09 amToday's dream was one of those where Everything Is Zombies
only the scary bit is gradually realising
you is zombies.
Only once it did The Reveal it went all, okay but I think I can talk and I can hear these other dead people perfectly well, so what are those guys with the flamethrowers complaining about? We must be speaking Deadish. It'll be because of the slurring and loss of some structures, new sound shapes, using groans and clacks as word forms. Better get some translators in. And we can still type! Time to fill in forms and get reasonable accomodations up in here!
And then we put candidates up for election and because there were so many zombies the zombie representatives won most seats, so we were going to go sort out zombie rights in zombie parliament, as you do.
Of course it being a horror movies kind of night the first wave of elected zombies just got flamethrowered, but we actually anticipated that and had half hanging back to see what would happen.
What happened is I woke up and realised I need way more ribena and actual nutrition than I got yesterday so now there is feeling zombies.
But I kind of like that my asleep brain takes zombie classics and just goes, well how do we get these people's needs met?

Eek! But yeah I love this idea. Reasonable accommodations and representation for the zombies! If zombies are a metaphor for infectious disease, as they often are, then surely one possible response is meeting their needs and making sure everyone who's basically ended up with a post-viral chronic condition is taken care of.
