The One When My Family Goes Out to Eat / The One Where I’m a Vampire

I went out to eat sushi with my family - My Mom, my Dad, my sister and my Aunt Susie was there. It was Sakura but it was in Northampton on kind of a hill and we had to drive up a really steep road to get to the parking lot. Once we got there, the parking lot was small and we had to park illegally. We were the first ones there for the whole day - it was because it was Chinese New Year and sushi is Japanese food. We sat at a round table and ate a ton of sushi - it was the first time eating it for everyone except me and I think Aunt Susie. The guy that owns Sakura was there too. We got a jar of tobiko and there was a price sticker on it for $2.99. I was surprised it was so cheap.

There were kids sitting at a nearby table playing with chopsticks and one flew over to our table. They kept switching people's chopsticks and the one that ended up at our table had little notches in it like they were making lincoln logs out of them. On top of the sushi bar was a plate of sushi - like samples - that people could go up and smell to make sure it was fresh. I did this.

We talked about how we haven't spoken to Aunt Susie in a long time and how Dawn and I used to call her 'goo goo' (which means Aunt in Chinese). She and my mom almost got into an argument about how they stopped talking. Susie said Mom used to say stuff about her boyfriend, Peter. They were civil, but there was definitely tension between them.
For dessert we had a big plate of Oreo cookies on the table but my Dad had a piece of cake.

Next thing I remember I was a vampire and going around killing people in the restaurant. The family was gone at this point. I went outside and continued. At this point it was night and dark out. I had fangs and sharp claws and remember feeling invincible.

Sometimes I would feed (although I do remember biting necks, I don't remember sucking any blood), sometimes just kill. I was looking for someone specific, a guy (Bryan maybe?) – I think I wanted to kill him, but he went to some mountain/hill. A monster that resembled the sewer monster from X-files told me. There were other monsters in the dream but they were on my side. I was definitely a 'bad guy.'

There were pills in the dream that made me/monsters stronger or made humans strong like vampires. One girl that was similar to a slayer but not as powerful was chasing me for a bit. I had to run from her at first but then I took a pill and picked her up and threw her off a balcony. She was the only one that threatened me - otherwise I still felt invincible.

At one point I remember being in a public bathroom, sitting on the floor across from the sinks, leaning back so they couldn't see me in the mirrors (apparently the vampire-mirror thing didn't apply). I was going to kill the kids (a lot of the people I killed were teenagers or young adults - like 16 - 23 years old) as they came in the bathroom. I couldn't tell if was a guys or girls bathroom - but there were both guys and girls in it.

I didn't recognize most of the people in the dream except for my family and the guy from Sakura. All the other people were people I didn't know.
