You're not by any chance thinking of Peter Watts's novel "Blindsight", which has zombies as characters, are you?

reported feeling as if at every moment the world was dissolving into a dream-like morass, so that each moment was somehow disconnected from every other

That sounds like Depersonalization or Derealization.

No, I haven't read Blindsight yet (it's in my queue). Those other terms seem close, but unless I can find the actual account I seem to recall, my report should only have a negligible weight of evidence.
