What are possible meanings for dreams of vampires?

The symbolism of a vampire in a dream is often tied to common associations. The most popular is the association with vampires drinking blood. Blood is life and energy. Vampires drain the life out of you. A vampire can symbolize a person or a situation draining you. The analogy covers everything from a person who feeds off your energy to a job that sucks you dry. You give and something else receives. See: Blood

Expand that idea and a vampire can represent a person who is constantly borrowing from you, or is emotionally needy—an “emotional vampire.” Expand further to include people who are overly emotional or demonstrative, aka “emo,” an impression gained from heavily dramatized vampire movies and television shows.

A vampire can symbolize an illness that drains you. A condition such as anemia can be symbolized as a vampire because it involves blood and is noted for producing weariness. See: Illness

Vampires are perceived as evil. As a dream symbol they can characterize someone who is cold, predatory, or remorseless. See: Evil

Becoming a vampire in a dream can symbolize changing for the worse, or feeling threatened with it. For example, certain professions regularly see the worst of people and society, such as homicide detectives and bartenders, and it can rub off. It can make a person cynical and pessimistic. Vampires are portrayed as able to corrupt people, to influence and hypnotize. Vampires are people transformed into evil. They generally don’t start out that way.

Another association is that vampires are creatures of the night. A vampire in a dream can mean you had a bad night—tossing and turning, sick, in turmoil—or stayed up all night.

Vampires are seductive, a description that applies broadly to people and situations. Seduction is usually referred to in the sense of sexual seduction and conquest, but it applies broadly. You can be seduced by a person, idea, temptation, or mood, for example. Seduction is a powerful internal dynamic, too, because in many cases of seduction you actually talk yourself into doing something or going along with it.

Also, the dark side of the ego—the Shadow—uses seduction as a means of persuasion and manipulation. See: Shadows

Vampires can symbolize something out to get you, or the feeling of it, because they stalk their prey and are relentless in pursuing it.

The traditional image of vampires has expanded because of portrayals in movies and media as emotional, moody, passionate, and lovesick—a perfect description of some teenagers. See: Teenagers

The final and most important consideration for the symbolism is that maybe you see something about yourself in the image of a vampire. You identify with it personally.

Satanic, vampire-like, trickster.

Last night I had a very long nightmare. A vampire with horns and a devilish evil energy overtook my world or I entered his world. He viciously killed many people as I witnessed the carnage. He hurt and terrified those I loved. He enjoyed showing me the violence and enjoyed torturing me with tricks. He would let me think I killed him, saved people, and escaped from the hellish reality he put me in...just to reappear with more power and more cruelty than ever. There was no escape and I realized I couldn't die, it was eternal. The dream took place during a dark night. There was a carnival and a old car junkyard. These places were small and I felt like I was stuck in a claustrophobic space. Any interpretation is much appreciated!

Angel

I dreamt that I was laying in bed with my wife, (I actually was) and an angel appeared over me. It was fuzzy and dim, in a dark room and it frightened me. I tried to wake my wife over, and over again by yelling, but no sound would come out. Finally I made a cross with my fingers, as if I was wording off a vampire. It didn't react, but I woke INTO a different dream.

I usually know when I'm dreaming. Not quite lucid, but ya I'm dreaming. I knew immediately the dream I woke I to was a dream. But the dream with the "entity" I didn't know I was dreaming.

"Some things you might know already and some things you aren't meant to know"

I had this dream last night where basically I was recruited to be a quartermaster for an expedition in on an old fashioned ship.

On the ship there were people I knew as crew and some others I haven't seen in my life ( I guess that my brain picking up random faces of random people I have seen)

We confront very bad weather (storms, high tides, massive waves, etc) but, we end up surviving pretty much thanks to the captain and me and team work from everyone in the crew.

On one of the first stops is some kind of abandoned canals within a cave that is supposed to be infested with monster.

We get lots and after a couple of hours someone that I can only identify as Dracula comes on board.

He says that as long as he speaks to me in private he will tell me how to get out.

We go to my quarters and he proceeds to push on the bed. But, he doesn't do anything except talk to me without letting get up.

He indeed tells me how to get out of the cave and then I asked him so questions and he said " you might know the answers already and some things you aren't meant to know."

End of dream.

Any ideas what could it mean?

Vampires invented indoor plumbing in Victorian England

I had a vivid dream last night that vampires in Victorian England had blood piped into their homes before indoor plumbing became common because they were tired of venturing out to get it and risking death by sun. They wanted to have meals at regular intervals during the day like everyone else. Vampires were the reason plumbing became popular during the early Victorian era, because wealthy vampires worked with local authorities and architects to subsidize blood-piping networks throughout London. These plumbing networks were eventually used by others for water, because most Londoners didn't know what else these pipes would have been for.

I knew it was supposed to be Victorian England in the dream, having a hazy idea of what that time period looked like, but I honestly didn't realize that the early Victorian era was exactly when indoor plumbing became common in England until I googled it this morning.

PS, I wish my dream had been detailed enough to tell me where the blood had come from, because that would have been a more interesting story lol
