16th Century Vampires

This dream was sent to me through email (weirddreams@mail.com) and I must confess, trying to interpret this dream is quite a challenge, so I welcome other interpretations. Here is the dream as written, but with paragraph breaks added to make reading easier:

I was in the 16th century with two other people. One was a girl with snow white hair called Eliza and the other was a guy called Damien. I had this huge spell book and I was reading it. A vampire came up to me and slit my hands with a knife.

He joined hands with me. His hands were slit also. Somehow I turned into a vampire. The people I was with turned into vampires too. I think I turned them into one.

Then we joined hands and started flying. We didn't have enough power to fly high so we kept falling... Then we landed in this weird old building. There were humans there and they were burning witches and vampires. They were doing some sort of service. I flew up to a higher spot so I could see better but I fell....

The leader, a woman with black hair in her mid-fifties grabbed my ankle when I tried to get up. She said she knew what I was and that she was going to kill me. But my friends grabbed her and flung her across the room. We started flying but there was nowhere to go so we hid.

We hid for a hundred years. It felt like a few nights to us. We had no energy because we hadn't eaten. So at night when everyone was asleep we decided to try and escape. There was an open door so we decided to get out that way. When we got out of the building we kept flying. Eventually we were off the coast of South America.

The weirdest part of the dream was when one of my friends turned to me and asked "Do you want to go to Ireland? I've always wanted to go there." I said "No. My mom and brother live there. I don't want them to get hurt." The dream got a bit hazy from there.

~~~

The weirdest part of this dream for me was the same as was the weirdest part of the dream to the dreamer. She talks about vampires and witches, starvation and flying, then suddenly, interjected into the dream is a question about going to Ireland.

Whenever we dream about the past, we generally have to address something about our past. That she wanted to protect her mother and her brother might mean that something occurred in her past that made them vulnerable.

Reading a spells book could mean that the dreamer is looking for a magical way to handle life circumstances.

Dreams of vampires often indicate that somebody is sucking the life from us, and considering that the dreamer spoke of not having enough energy, she might look to people around her who are sucking the life from her, particularly the man with whom she joined hands, or somebody who represents that man.

People who appear in our dreams could represent people in our lives or they could represents aspects of ourselves. They could also represent our values, our morals, or the way we view life. Eliza and Damien, if they are people known to the dreamer, could represent aspects of the dreamer or aspects of people the dreamer knows.

The woman with white hair and the woman with black hair could indicate a problem with seeing things only in black and white, or they could represent various parts of the dreamer.

White hair sometimes represents wisdom. The woman with black hair might represent the dreamer who herself could be a leader or who was a leader or who will be a leader in her mid fifties. Not knowing the age of the dreamer, I can only speculate.

Because the woman with black hair was trying to kill her but also knew what she was, the woman might be somebody who is trying to kill the dreamer's spirit. She could even be the dreamer herself.

Open doors represent opportunities. The dreamer took advantage of the opportunity in the dream and she flew. The dreamer also wrote that a hundred years felt like only a few nights. She might wish to escape something in her waking life that feels as if it has been going on for a hundred years, but in reality has not been that long.

The dream could also be telling her that an opportunity awaits her (and the two people who represent Eliza and Damien).

Dreams of Being In a Classroom

From an email I received: I too often dream of being in a class, but usually there is something stressful about it like having a test but not having studied or losing work that was supposed to be turned in. They are not usually "bad" dreams and I usually end up getting distracted by a different story line.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Many of us have dreams of returning to the classroom long after we've graduated. We sometimes feel stress during these dreams, especially when we are given a test we feel unprepared to take.

Several of my own dreams about being in school involved losing my schedule, attending the wrong class, or forgetting where I was supposed to be.

Because our dreams are reflections of what is going on in our waking lives, stressful dreams in a school setting take us back to feelings we had when we were in school. We might feel vulnerable, uneasy, or unprepared. We may even feel we're being tested for something about which we have never learned.

Life itself is a school and we are learning every day. In our waking life, we may feel unprepared to keep a schedule we set up for ourselves. We may feel that God is testing us or that our kids are testing us. We might even feel that we are testing ourselves.

When we have these kinds of dreams we have to look at what is going on in our lives. It might be something as simple as our daughter attending her first high school dance. We may feel some resistance to having her take this next step into adulthood, and we may have difficulty accepting that our daughter is growing up.

Or maybe we have put ourselves into a situation where we feel resistance to actually going through with whatever we've set up for ourselves. Did we start a project with good intentions and now we feel overburdened by it? Do we feel that others are going to test us on our abilities to perform? We might be afraid we won't live up to their expectations.

Look at your dreams and see if you can make a connection between what is happening in your dream and what is happening in your waking life to explain why you might have had the dream.

Cannibal Dream

My soon-to-be-11-year-old granddaughter, Taylor, related this dream to me:

Taylor and two other girls, wearing black FBI suits, walked into a theater to see Peter Pan. The theater was full. The theater had chambers by the back and some people put Taylor and the two girls into one of the chambers. When they took the girls out of chamber, Taylor noticed that the chamber said, "Flavoring."

They were then put into another chamber that had a handle where they could get out. The chamber started to get really hot and it felt like they were baking. Taylor thought the people who put them there were trying to eat them.

Taylor opened the door. The people who put them into the chambers stood at the end of the hallway and saw them escape. They chased the girls around, and they got a hold of one of the girls. They took her while Taylor and other girl went outside.

Looking for the girl they took, because Taylor thought they were trying to kill her, Taylor took her away from them and went outside.

People were coming out of the theater dressed in frilly dresses like in the 1800s. Taylor told them, "Do not ever go there again. They will try to eat you." They told Taylor she was crazy.

In a car window Taylor saw a policeman and his son. They were going in to see the show.

Taylor banged on the glass to warn the policeman. The policeman ran out and left his son in the car. Somebody grabbed the son and the policeman came back, punched the guy, and rescued his son.

Taylor and the girls left the theater but came back later that night. The theater was empty but the lights were still on and Taylor and the girls knew that the people who had taken them were looking for them.

They disguised themselves and hid in the chambers but chambers were not on.

When they felt it was safe, they got out of the chambers and saw lots of seasonings. The owner came back and said the theater was closed. Taylor walked slowly away. The other two girls stayed back and said, yeah we know – we were just leaving. The guy said to the girl who got caught, "You look familiar."

Taylor said, "No that girl is dead. They found her dead." He believed Taylor. Taylor left the theater and looked inside the window. She saw the owner come back into the room. She also saw dead people hanging on the wall. She knew he was going to roast them and eat them.

What might have prompted this dream was a snippet of a television program Taylor saw on the National Geographic channel, entitled, Eating With Cannibals.

And what her "dead people hanging on the wall" reminded me of was an article I wrote, entitled, The Importance of Wording: Misplaced Modifiers and Missing Words.
