Come to think of it, I'm wondering if it could be one of those vampire covens she's a part of. Not the New Moon crap but the whole Lestat/take me to your leader stuff. I used to dream about them alot when I was doing a whole shamanic underworld thing.

The problem with that is vampires are not real. The shaman are the undead. We die repeatedly but we don't stay dead. We're just not that lucky.
