My dream started out in such a wonderful way, I was going on my first cruise with my partner. My first experience outside of Canada going to Cuba, I guess what had happen was someone who just thought he had the common cold, turned out to have well an infection that turned him into a zombie. We all know it just takes one and it doesn't take very long. So me and my partner we were sitting by the pool when all of sudden all hell breaks loose, and there are groups of people running, screaming and falling down. Some covered in blood some not... It took us a second to figure out what was going on and when we did we started panicking and tried to find somewhere save to barricade ourselves, some how in our panic we got separated. I eventually found myself a big group of non-infected people and we were all trying to figure out what to do, some were saying to throw them in the water, but a lot of us feared it would contaminate the ocean and wild life in there, thus it would start spreading world wide. It then became unanimous to sacrifice ourselves and set this ship towards an uninhabited island, we started to make our way towards the ships port and eventually I found my partner! Exhausted we hugged each other and held each other, when he started convulsing, everyone started screaming and running away, but one man stayed with me, I guess he was a guard of some sort I can't really remember at this point, but he had a gun. He told me he knew what I had to do, and to do it quickly before I was to get infected , so torn with so many emotions I just couldn't bare the thought of losing him again. But I couldn't stand the thought of him becoming a zombie.. So I shot him... a few seconds after that I woke up

Dreaming about the living dead may carry a powerful message. If you are walking around like a zombie, it usually means that you are emotionally disconnected from things going on around you. You may be experiencing unhealthy detachment and are unable to appropriately feel positive or negative emotions. Currently, you may be out of touch and outside of the main flow of life. This dream could positively sever you and help you to become aware of emotional issues and circumstances in daily life that are difficult to face.
To dream that you are on a cruise, represents some emotional journey that you are going through. The dream may also be a pun on "cruising" through situations in your life with ease and little effort.

If you dream about taking a cruise, pay attention to the condition of the sea. Is it calm or is a storm brewing? This will provide you with some insight around your situation in waking life.
A tranquil sea voyage that is moving in the right direction can mean that you are looking forward to being successful at a task. A boat that is drifting aimlessly can imply that you feel that your life lacks direction. If the boat capsizes, you may be expecting to encounter obstacles or danger in your immediate future.
Freud might have viewed the sea as a symbol of the mother and the womb, and therefore might have interpreted a dream about a cruise as representing a repressed desire for incest. He would have considered a ship to be a phallic symbol. Jung would have thought that a voyage by sea represents an exploration of the unconscious.
To see a partner in your dream, suggests that you need to seek the help of others in order to accomplish a mutual goal. Alternatively, a partner symbolizes the duality of your personality. Also consider your waking relationship with your own partner.

If you reprimand him for it, you will, to some extent, recover the loss.

On coins, a ship ploughing through the seas is emblematic of joy and
happiness (8). But the most profound significance of navigation is that implied
by Pompey the Great in his remark: ‘Living is not necessary, but navigation is.’
By this he meant that existence is split up into two fundamental structures:
living, which he understood as living for or in oneself, and sailing or navigating, by
which he understood living in order to transcend—or what Nietzsche from his
pessimistic angle called ‘living in order to disappear’. The Odyssey is, basically,
nothing but a navigation-myth in the sense of victory over the two essential perils
of all sailing: destruction (or the triumph of the ocean—corresponding to the
unconscious) and withdrawal (regression or stagnation). Yet Homer reserves the
end of the periplus of Odysseus for a triumphant but affectionate ‘return’ to his
wife, his hearth and home. This is a mystic idea analogous to the mystery of the
‘fall’ of the soul into the material plane of existence (by the process of involution)
and to the necessity of its returning to the starting-point (evolution)—a mystery
which has been expounded by Platonic idealism and by Plotinus in particular.
This law of the returning soul corresponds to the belief in the concept of a
‘closed’ universe (like that of the Eternal Return) or the conception of all phenomena as a cyclic organization. Navigation, as envisaged in any philosophy of
the absolute, would deny even the hero his triumphant return to the homeland
and would make of him a perpetual explorer of oceans, under endless skies. But to come back to the symbolism of the ship, every vessel corresponds to a constellation (48). The ship-symbol has been related to the holy island, in so far as both
are differentiated from the amorphous and hostile sea. If the waters of the oceans
are symbolic of the unconscious, they also can allude to the dull roar of the
outside world. The notion that it is essential first to learn to sail the sea of the
passions in order to reach the Mountain of Salvation is the same as the idea
mentioned earlier in connexion with the perils of exploring the oceans. For this
reason Guénon suggests that ‘the attainment of the Great Peace is depicted in the
form of sailing the seas’; hence, in Christian symbolism, the ship represents the
Church (28). Some of the less clearly defined aspects of the symbolism of the
ship—comparable here with the small boat and the carriage—are related to symbols of the human body and of all physical bodies or vehicles; in addition to this,
there is a cosmic implication deriving from the age-old comparison between the
sun and the moon on the one hand, and, on the other, two ships floating upon the
celestial ocean. The solar ship frequently appears on Egyptian monuments. In
Assyrian art, too, ships shaped like cups are clearly solar in character; this cupshape narrows down still further the scope of the meaning (35). Another meaning,
sometimes quite independent of the foregoing, derives not so much from the idea
of the ship as such but rather from the notion of sailing; this is the symbolism of
the Ship-of-Death. Hence, many primitive peoples place ships on the end of a
pole or on the roof of a house. On occasion, it is the roof itself (of the temple or
house) which is made to resemble a ship. Always the implication is the desire to
transcend existence—to travel through space to the other worlds. All these forms,
then, represent the axis valley-mountain, or the symbolism of verticality and the
idea of height. An obvious association here is with all the symbols for the worldaxis. The mast in the centre of the vessel gives expression to the idea of the
Cosmic Tree incorporated within the symbolism of the Ship-of-Death or ‘Ship of
Transcendence’ (50).
