An interpretation of vampire dreams

An interpretation of vampire dreams

This interpretation is from ""The Dream Interpretation Dictionary: Symbols, Signs, and Meanings" and is provided by J.M. DeBord aka "RadOwl". He is the author of several acclaimed books about dreaming, the host of The Dreams That Shape Us podcast, and is a moderator of r/Dreams, one of the largest dream sharing communities on the internet. 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.
