I had a really confusing dream last night. Unfortunately most of it has been forgotten, but I'd say that the 'key' parts are still in my mind.

In my dream I had this katana (I'm watching maybe too much Blood+ and that's the reason for the sword) and I had a quest to go outside and kill the vampires disguised as birds. Not any type of bird though, but some sort of pigeon-sized sparrow with some red stripes on its back.
So I'm outside, slashing every such bird I see. There are also a couple of guys I know, one of them tends to behave like a dumb kid in real life, and in my dream he picks up a corpse of one of those sparrows (but I'm not sure if that bird died by my hand or it was dead already when we got there) and wants to touch me with it. I run away for a while, and when I look back the two guys were gone.

Now the part with the dead person. Last year a former student of my school died in a motorcycle accident. The other night, as I was going down the stairs to go outside for my quest, I encountered him. I don't remember what he was doing there, neither whether he was going in or out. Nevertheless he looked kinda bored. We went out together and after a while he too was gone. That was our entire conversation, me asking him what was he doing, I doubt it meant something.
He wasn't a friend of mine by the way, in fact I disliked him and he disliked me.

This would be my dream. I'm interested especially in the birds, whether they mean something. Thank you and excuse my mistakes.

The bird dream may have to do with feelings you have around a real life situation. You may have gotten rid of some parasitic people or internal feelings. You have fled the situation. The 2nd dream kind of ties into the 1st dream.

Now I am even more confused, because lately I haven't gotten rid of anything, at least not consciously. Is this the only meaning it may have? I

Have you recently left a situation where you felt the people in it were parasites on you? Did you feel like a dumb kid? How are you feeling about yourself Now??

In a way I might say that I have, still am, getting away from someone that has been like a parasite for me: my father. I am detaching from him more and more, I care less about his opinion. But it's not something entirely new as I have been detaching myself from him since September-October 2014.
Lately I have been moderately depressed and my feelings about myself were mixed, though the majority of them fall into the negative category. But in short, right now I feel both confident and ashamed, dumb and capable...

That is interesting to me. I am in no way an expert or pretending to be one.
But I have read Native American stories that say that birds may be related to supernatural activity. You killing them would be a way or your way to defeat the communication of the supernatural to you.
The the visit from the person, who looked bored-bored may indicate limbo-a place of nothingness-just mere existence.
I don't know how any of that could help you, just my first impressions.

Defeating the communication of the supernatural to me isn't something I want! I received some signals over the past six months yet sometimes, when I feel very low, I tend to forget (or ignore) those signals and, well, think all negative. Maybe that's what it means, that I should fight more, block the negative thoughts and remember those signals?

For the record, I feel so dumb asking so many questions

As noted above, this dream is about your own Healing and moving on. You are moving on to being more self confident. Depression will be experienced as you let go. Don't worry about the the birds tieing into Native American views.
