Like Mary Shelley (maybe)

I have a long history of very strange dreams, but a recent one was pretty high up the list. It started off relatively normal: zombies, yay. They were getting into the building where we were hiding, and I had a katana, so guess who had to go help clear out the basement? And then, of course, I got bitten. And then I started turning into a vampire. Yes, a vampire. But before my subconscious could explain that particular leap, I woke up.

Now I'm tempted to write a story about someone getting bitten by a zombie and turning into a vampire instead. Basing supernatural fiction on dreams worked out pretty well for Mary Shelly and Stephanie M--- wait, never mind.
