I frequently dream about vampires. The first was about me becoming a vampire and my human teeth falling out to reveal venomous fangs, and a person from the party I was with coming into the bathroom and seeing it happen, and then screaming because I'd been trying to hide it. The most recent was a weird vampire transformation, almost a movie-like horror story set in a mansion by the ocean, with an unknown woman turning into a beautiful but horrific vampire, and a child nearby walking and not knowing of the transformation... when I woke up I feared if it had gone on any longer the child obviously would have died.

What do such vampire dreams mean? Has anyone else had them here? I feel they've occurred more frequently now that I am making more friends. I feel it's an almost silly, over the top subconscious fear of my own BPD, and yet I feel it could be more than that. Any unique interpretations are appreciated.

hi, ive had a vampire dream once where i barely escaped death from a vampire..i think mine meant that i was exhausted and anxious. your dream sounds a bit like an anxiety dream but it also has the part where the woman turns into a vampire..i think that could stand for sensuality/attraction. maybe there is someone you find attractive but you dont know the person too well and worry he/she might turn out to be bad for you. the main theme of your dream seems to be transformation..and death or transformations usually stand for new beginnings. Maybe you are in a transitional phase right now or you feel like you have to make changes in your life.
I hope I could give some ideas

Fangs could mean venom and venominus words. Careful what you say to others! Go to a dentist to get those teeth ground down again!

That's a good spin on it. I feel really transitional right now, in some ways good but in others not so great. I feel a lot is changing inside me, with my appearance and my surroundings. I don't really find someone attractive ATM but at the time I had the one dream I did, and I think I feared that I'd hurt them or maybe not be a good person in his life - an emotional vampire maybe. Thanks for the ideas.

This is actually a good point I didn't think of. Sometimes I feel my words are really hurtful to others. Maybe I need to go back to therapy for it.

Becoming a vampire can suggest two possibilities. One, it can indicate that in your mind you could see or imagine yourself being literally “a vampire”. Interpreting the vampire image literally could apply if you have a keen interest or fascination with vampires and do think about life as a vampire. [Would this apply in your case?] The second possibility pertains to your self identification with being a type of person who “uses” other people for his own benefit – because the vampire drains people of their blood, it suggests using peoples’ life energy, time or money. [Could this be an issue of concern now that you are making more friends?]

When identifying with the idea of being a vampire, or of being a user of other people, the scene shows that you are losing your human intelligence (human teeth falling out). In other words, your intelligence is failing you. While you seem to be using a point of view in which to acknowledge some guilt (you are in the bathroom).
there is an aspect of yourself that would scream with horror at either the idea of living as a vampire or of thinking yourself to be a user of other people. The guilt in this case may pertain to having tried to hide this fact from yourself.

The recent dream which seems to reflect almost a movie-like horror story implies that your mind is giving you a scenario involving a horrible tale based upon a self delusion – in this case one involving a human transforming into a vampire. The feeling you have regarding turning into or becoming a vampire, or a user of people, may look very appealing or good but it is a horrible feeling to have. (woman turning into a beautiful but horrific vampire) As the woman, representing an emotional aspect of yourself, is an “unknown woman”, she would suggest an emotional aspect of yourself which the True Self would not give any recognition to. This transformation would be particularly horrible to contemplate since this scenario takes place in a mansion by the ocean. The mansion represents a mental attitude or way of thinking that has a place in God’s mind or Kingdom. [Note: John 14:2 In my Father's house are many mansions:] The ocean is also an important symbol of God and shows His spiritual influence upon a way of thinking. Thus in God’s mind, the idea of vampires or your being a user of people would not be recognized.

The child represents an innocent aspect of yourself - an aspect that is without guilt or malice of intent. If your thoughts and feelings re: becoming an actual vampire or a user of people is allowed to continue, this innocence within you would no longer exist. This is a something you need to wake up to; to become more aware of.
