Weird Vampire Dream
posted 23 Dec 2011
I don’t have dreams very often but the one I had last night was just bizarre. I was turned into a vampire for some reason, but it was in a sort of futuristic setting, as I had to go and join the local Vampire cult. All the new vampire candidates were sitting at the front of a large press-conference type thing, but we never had a chance for speeches as suddenly the elder vampire had something important to say.
Now normally, the young vampires would be taken to the backroom and told the news. But in my dream all the young vampires went to a games room to play arcade games. As a new vampire I had no idea what they were doing, turns out vampires have to play videogames to replenish some poison sack on their arm. I have no idea where on Earth this idea came from, it’s just stupid.
I was playing a sort of Time Crisis style game, where my dream made the game very buggy and didn’t let me shoot half the time. The gun I was using had about 9 buttons all over it and just seemed far to complex.
So after this gaming session the elder called all the vampires together and said that we were going to war. I don’t remember the start of the dream so I’m not sure who the vampires are at war with. I’m not even sure I knew at all.
So all the young vampires vacate the room to prepare, but I stay back as I am a fresh vampire. The elder vampire asks for my name and I panic as I need a new ‘cool’ vampire name. After a few taunts from the elder and a vampire saying I was only one day old; I came out with the name “Thrall”. The giant of a vampire laughed at me and so I punched him in the face, which wouldn’t be my reaction in the real world, but this is crazy vampire dream world, so whatever.
The burly vampire doesn’t like being struck so pretend to hit me back. For some reason I fall to my knees and say to myself: “The idea of the punch is more powerful than the punch itself”. What?
After I recovered my imaginary beating I was led by the burly vampire out into this huge futuristic hallway, that reminds me of the Vampire stronghold in Blade 2, where the burly vampire leads me to a laptop to show me a game of pong.
Across the table from the computer are two vampires with wads of money telling me the burly thrall is playing 2000 games of pong at once in his mind, and his challenge to me for sullying his honour is a game of pong.
Now, my memory from here is gone, I remember there being some dispute and then the burly vampire just starts to fight me, then I woke up to my alarm. I don’t really remember what happened to the pong game, it just stopped happening.
Well, that’s my weird vampire dream. It’s much more interesting than my usual dreams where I simply have a conversation with a friend.
