I was in the city. Probably NYC because I always dream of NYC. I think I was with Kian. Most of the first part of the dream is foggy now. There was some sort of political gathering outside and I worked for one of the candidates that was really the 'odd' one.. not Democratic or Republican. But he was gaining a lot of supporters. There was a huge outdoor rally. It was over and our candidate went home but a lot of supporters were still hanging around.

I went into a bathroom to change because I planned on going out dancing or something. I put on a white silky dress with but I was dressing up sort of punk so I had fishnet stockings and lots of bracelets. Then some woman came in and asked me to hold her baby.. which was a ferret. I was kind of confused and annoyed because she wanted me to hold it for a long time. I held it for a while but then gave it back to the annoying woman because I had more important things to do.

I went outsidewhere there were still some of the political supporters milling about and I sat down on the stone steps to tie up my combat boots (they go up to my knees). Kian was sitting by me at this point and we were talking about something unimportant. I got my right shoe laced completely and a shadow fell over me. I looked up to see who was standing there and it was Marian but he was dressed like Gary Oldman in the movie Dracula. A grey, proper looking suit, very nicely tailored, with long black hair, and a grey top hat.

I *knew* he was a vampire but I was so excited about that. I could hear Kian in the background sounding worried and saying I shouldn't go with him but I stood up any way and let him take my hand. I couldn't stop looking at his eyes. He led me away, my left boot still untied. We walked the streets. He was looking for the appropriate place to kill me and I KNEW this but I didn't care... in a way I was sort of honoured at being picked.

He finally found a place he liked and he kept looking over his shoulder because he was concerned we were being followed by someone... vampire hunter, I think. It was the lobby of either a really lavish office building or a hotel. He took me to where the elevators were and there was no one around because it was an odd hour. Then he grabbed me and I let my head fall back so he could bite my neck and he did. I got very dizzy but I didn't die. It was like I could feel this turmoil in his head between wanting to drain me totally and wanting to keep me alive and make me a vampire, too.

I will look at this more closely when I get a chance.

One curious thing - and perhaps it is nothing - but I could not help but to notice the similarity of the names:

Gary Oldman ... and
Marian Gold.

I suppose the similarities go beyond just the names though, do they not? Do you think there is anything to it?

I tried to translate this dream in a rather traditional way, and did so about 4 or 5 days ago. I will type it out as soon as I can, it is not long, but I just do not have the time. It is not a ground-shaking interpretation, and I really do not think it completely applies. There is something ... else to this dream, something more astral perhaps.

AND ... I got your e-mail. I am still very seriously thinking about this experience. That happened when? Saturday night/Sunday morning? I had a most unusual experience before dawn on Sunday. I told my wife about it and she thought it was creepy, knowing me especially. Perhaps this is just "coincidental", and I am still trying to ascertain what exactly is going on - if anything. But synchronicity is, well, you know ...

I will tell you about it as soon as I can.

In the mean time, I have been openly inviting those entities who are at work to present themselves however they wish. I must know!

Thank you for the millionth time. Yes it was Saturday night/ Sunday morning. I'd love to hear what happened with you if you feel like sharing at some point.

sorry I haven't been here on the board that much the past few days... there are a few dreams here posted by a couple people that I wanted to look at and think about and post to... but yesterday I had the worst headache I have EVER had. I would have gone to the ER if it would have done any good but they can't really do anything so... I stayed home but OMG it was SO BAD. *sniffles* I need a new head.

I do not know why I have been putting this off for so long, I guess just because the interpretation I have seems insignificant and rather dull, not to mention that it just does not feel quite right.

I keep meaning to try and re-do it, but ... oh well.

Anyway, this is what little I have:

The political gathering seems to simply indicate your position in society - different or "odd", but not alone.

The bathroom is a symbol of change of sorts - which you do - representing preparation, purification, and in Jungian psychology - the collective unconscious, which happens to be the place from which animal symbology often originates. So my question is, what does a ferret mean to you? Whatever it means, it's energy is in an undeveloped (baby) and instinctual state (animal) which currently resides within your unconscious and perhaps which you do not wish to acknowledge (you give it back). I cannot help but to think of a ferret's vampire-like teeth.

Now, enter Marian in his usual shadowy, mysterious, light/dark manner. How do you view vampires? *I wrote that before I got your curious e-mail, but the question is still valid* As usual, I get mixed impressions here, and find myself relating to the vampire hunter. The blood sucking is usually not so good a symbol - and this could very well be the case here, I do not know - but in this case it could symbolize your desire or willingness to share life-energy with him.

Well, that is it.

I am still "working" on this Marian thing, especially now that my congested head condition is finally diminishing.

What do you think?

Ferrets... well I don't know! The only experience I've had with ferrets is an old roommate used to have two of them. They were cute and I didn't mind them. Smelled a little funny. Hrmmm... I've heard rumours of them being sort of viscious on occasion.. hurting other animals and stuff. But I never experienced that first hand although I did worry about it a little at first because I had 5 cats then.

Vampires! Well I have mixed feelings and I think I always have. Fascination mixed with a little revulsion. When I was younger and far into my 'gothness' I thought it would be oh so fabulous to be a vampire. Even now sometimes I think it would be good fun but realistically I don't think I could live like that. Blood... ew... So it's fun to entertain the idea but not really feasable even if some 300 year old vampire dude offered. I was actually in a vampire spread for a magazine called "Savage" about 8 years ago. The pictures are really funny to look at now, though! I seemed so young.

I hope your head feels better soon! *hugs* Sorry you got so congested!

Without going into too much detail, I wanted to tell you what happened on that Sunday morning.

I went to bed extremely late on that Saturday night, which I never do because I get up with my son on Sunday morning - to give my wife a break. I just could not go to sleep. I stayed up until about 3 a.m. and finally forced myself into bed.

I finally got to sleep, and was having an interesting dream about Spider Man, when I suddenly became aware of ... something ... a presence. I became aware that I was back in my bed, awake. I could feel that there was someone standing next to my bed. I got a little spooked, which is kind of unusual, and realized that I had a weapon in my hands - a sort of staff or something. When I realized this, I immediately sat up and began to swing the weapon at the entities that were standing next to me - there were three or four. I was swinging it violently, but it just passed through them, and I noticed that my body was still lying in the bed. I then realized that I was in the astral, at which point I calmed down and the "people" just turned around and vanished. I then lay down in my body and went back to sleep.

I live in Atlanta, so I thought the timing of this incident was peculiar as compared to your experience. I am guessing that this happened around 5 or 6 in the morning.

Anyway, that was it. It was strange and unsettling, even for me.

Amber, if there is truly something to this - and there IS something to this, I just do not know what - do you have any feelings about why anyone/anything would want to misguide you or misrepresent themselves to you or, at the very least, keep others from knowing about ... whatever IT is? I know that is rather a vague question that may have no answer, but I would still like to know if you have any FEELINGS along these lines.

Very curious.
