<p>I had a quasi-nightmare last night.  There was this virus that turned you into this ugly, violent creature (probably inspired by zombie stories, <em>NIght of the Comet,</em> <em>I Am Legend, </em>and the reavers from <em>Firefly</em>).  The people that had been turned were mostly big, powerfully built men at first.  It was their job to spread this virus to other people.</p>
<p>I was in this large building with a huge meeting hall and several smaller rooms intended for other purposes.  The one I was in was a basic meeting room with another refugee I&#8217;d never met before.  She and I got caught by the creature and injected with the virus.  We ran, thinking that at least we could get out before we were given instructions or turned into tools.</p>
<p>As we were running my companion was starting to turn.  A greenish warty substance started snaking a line down her face, showing the change.  She was really scared, and looked at me as we ran.</p>
<p>&#8220;You&#8217;re not turning!&#8221;  she said, out of breath.</p>
<p>&#8220;Oh, that,&#8221; I said, as if I&#8217;d just remembered.  &#8220;Well, you can choose not to.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Oh, yeah,&#8221; she said, and her face cleared up.</p>
<p>I woke up after that.</p>
<p>But I found it a pretty powerful dream.</p>
