Knocking

Most of my dreams start the exact same way. I submerge out of a tank of water. Once my head comes up from the water, it begins. I was in an abandoned apartment complex, and I knew I was dreaming. I had no real control of anything. I heard someone yell "zombies!", so I decided to just go hide in a room and try to wake myself up. As I went into a door, I locked it. Once that happened, I felt a minute of calmness. I then heard some quick feet coming from the hallway.. I held the door because I was scared it was coming towards me. Clearly it was. Then I hear some scratching, and a piece of paper gets slipped under the door. I read it, and it says "Hello" written in blood. I look through the peephole, and I see a zombie. It looks at me, and knocks the door down. As I get squished by the door, I woke up. That was followed by some sweet sleep paralysis which took me about 5min to wake myself up. *I never understood how people though of so many ways to reinvent zombie movies and shows.. but clearly it is in the dreaming process. Last time I checked, zombies could not spell. It was a neat nightmare nonetheless.
