Vampires and Baseball
by Amanda
(Jordan, MN, USA)
I wasn't myself in this dream; I was about seven years old. I was standing at the edge of a baseball field watching a team of high schoolers play. i was with two other people, a girl and a boy, both also high-schoolers. Eventually, the baseball players noticed me, and they knew I was a vampire. I discovered this fact as a dreamer when the girl and boy told me to run. I became cornered against a building with a brick wall. It was at this point that I realized I was dreaming. Because I was a vampire, naturally I could fly, so I did just that into a broken window on the building. When I entered the building, my vampire coven said I wasn't welcome there and threatened to also kill me. I quickly escaped outside, where I was cornered once again by the baseball team and now my former family. A familiar man (he either was a former dream character or long-forgotten person in my waking life) came to me and said he was my knight. He was about 27-32 years old. I had gone a long time without blood and was becoming weak, so he offered up his. I was hesitant at first, but I knew I wouldn't escape without it, so I bit his neck. The taste of blood, salty and metallic and delicious, filled my mouth. Rejuvenated, I escaped, thanking the man. We seemed to know each other on a very personal level, as if he knew some deep, dark secret about myself. I suspect he is secretly my subconscious. That sneaky fellow appears a lot in my dreams (the subconscious, not the actual man). Well, at this point I woke up since the blood experience was too elating for me to handle, I guess. This dream has left a huge impression on me just by the sheer amount of emotions I felt during it. Content, terrified, relieved, strangely depressed, and euphoric.
