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.

The One with Dan the Vampire Slayer

I moved into this old house with like 5 floors. Some guy that resembled Wesley from Angel was my realtor and he ended up borrowing money from me ($50). I found that one set of keys was missing. Next door, the house was filled with kind of rowdy kids - like it was a college frat house or something but coed. They were smoking pot in the car and stuff.

At one point, I was walking into the house at night and as I shut the door, the latch didn't catch and the door swung open again. And instantly, in kind of bluish light, all the kids from next-door are standing in the front yard, on the porch, etc. One of them (seemingly the leader) was leaning up against a tree near the road smoking a cigarette. The door swung closed and open again and they were all gone.

I have no idea how I got from there to the next part, but all of a sudden I know that the house next door is filled with vampires and they are attacking the house. I have this big wooden stake but the end is kind of splintered from overuse. I am also with two other people that are like Wesley and Cordelia. Killing the vamps was like it is in Buffy - they kind of disintegrate. After killing the first round of vamps, I stuck the stick into a potted plant - I had a hunch that the soil was sacred soil. Because there was blood and stuff on the stake, it sizzled in the dirt. Suspicions confirmed. Apparently the house used to be an old parochial school and was on consecrated ground.

Second round of vampires. The three of us are running around trying to dodge these arrows the vamps are shooting at the house, through the windows and walls. When I moved around the house, they followed because somehow they could sense where I was in the house because I was 'the slayer.' At one point I was on the floor next to the wall dodging all the arrows and stuff crashing through the wall. Then all of a sudden, [Female Friend 1] appears for a moment. Apparently the head vampire was her ex husband, but his name in the dream was [Female Friend 1's son's name].

Then this couple comes over because they found a set of keys in their house and someone told them to come over here or something. I threw some dirt on them to make sure they weren't vampires. For some reason, I have the idea in my head that the keys were taken for some guy that is in jail that could help us out. Then the third round starts, and all of a sudden [ex-coworker 1] is next to me holding a bunch of wooden grill skewers. I grab them and stick them in the dirt so that they would be effective against the vamps.

The One With Lissa and the Vampires

In the dream we had a big snowstorm and for some reason I had to either walk to work, or walk to a bus stop.  So I'm walking down a road and lo and behold, Li. has to walk to work as well.

We're walking down the road, trying to find a decent spot to cross the median because the snow is so high.  We almost crossed at one point because it seemed doable, although we would be walking on some bushes, but someone pointed out (Lu. maybe??) that we were not walking across bushes, but tops of trees.

We went some other way, down a hill and toward this cemetery and church.  We went into the church and sat down in the front row.  I have the impression that there was some kind of mass on Halloween?  Anyway, lots of people came in for the mass and everyone was sitting really close together to fit.

I don't remember how the mass went, but they brought out some old bag and it contained a vampire.  The vampire got out and looked old and nasty.  but, when he got out and started feeding on people, he started getting younger and better looking.  Li. and I ran out of the church and were running through the cemetery toward a street.
