my fear of zombies

Running seems to be the one thing that I can remember to do when I fall asleep some nights. I seem them coming in waves like they are riding up to the shore and taking with them those that get to close before coming back up further and further on to land. Wanting to drag be back with them.
In all the dreams I can sense then coming and I try to get out even bring others with me as I flee only to find that after taking too much time to warn others that I get caught with no where to go .. but up.
I even find myself going down underground to get away from them others I am climbing on the walls to walk , clawing my way out to get way from them before they can reach me. I can't stand these dreams and for almost all my life they have been coming after me. Each time they get smarter and know what I am going to do as I have to find a new way to get away from these sorry s.o.b.s .
I hate when I get so close to getting away from them that I end up waking in a cold sweat or screaming with a sore throat as I look around to see that I am safe in my bed.
Panicking I get up and check the doors, to see they are locked. The windows are closed so that they don't see the lights on and want to come and kill anything they can find in the safety of the lights. It takes me hours to calm down before I finally go back to my bed and lay down, only to find its a few minutes before I have to get up for work.
I have found ways to coup with this fear but it sucks when others want to watch zombie movies with me in the room, so I silently leave or just tell them flat out I don't want to watch that. And storm out of the room because I don't want the terror to cause the fear of them to creep back up on me.
Many people would label me a freak or a coward but I trust me instincts to run even if for know what I am running from is just in movies.
