sitproperly on Dec 20th 2008 Gaudia Vaisnava, New Vrndavana

New Vrndavana overrun by zombies!

In Krishna consciousness, dreaming about the Krishna is a very auspicious thing. Also in Krishna consciousness, serving the devotees is often seen as more glorious than serving the Lord. So naturally, one can draw the conclusion that my dream about zombies and Madhava Gosh is pretty much as auspicious as I’m going to get.

The setting of this spectacular display of unconscious storytelling was indeed in Madhava Gosh’s house at New Vrndavana. The background was that the movie 28 Days Later was real and parts of it were filmed at New Vrndavana. Being that it was real meant that zombies were real and they were attacking. But these were somehow the zombies left over from filming 28 Days Later.

New Vrin-ZOMBIEIn this particular movie, the zombies run after you. In traditional zombie movies, the zombies are slow and lumbering. Since I only dream about traditional zombies, this dream nixed the running zombies in favor of the lumbering variety.

The zombies were attacking and entering Madhava Gosh’s house. But we weren’t really all that freaked out. See, these zombies didn’t seem to be too much of a threat to us, only a mere annoyance.

And that’s the feeling throughout the dream. Annoyance. Gosh was directing people through his house so that they could hide from the zombies, but there wasn’t terror. Just annoyance.

I actually woke up a few times annoyed that I was dreaming this and hoping that I wouldn’t fall back asleep and continue with the nocturnal narration. But that thought was soon met with Zzzz’s and it was back to work avoiding the annoying zombies. Clearly, in my half-sleep delirium, I didn’t realize just how incredibly awesome this dream was.

Nobody died or really much noticed that New Vrndavana was overrun with zombies. Yeah, we were annoyed, but ducking upstairs (Gosh’s dream house has a second floor) did the trick.

The zombies got into the house, but the annoyance factor woke me up again and, being 6am-ish, I stayed awake.

It was weird/fun/annoying to see New Vrindaban’s woods and groves crawling with zombies. That makes it.. New Vrin-ZOMBIE!!
Best. Dhama. EVER!
