The first part I can remember was me and my father, whom I rarely speak to now because he lives in Florida, and I live in Tennessee. We like to get together on vacations and all that when I'm off on a break. I was in his truck, and he was driving me around Florida, and he takes me to my Grandmother's place, which, in the dream, was kind of like a yacht in a swamp somewhere in louisiana, rather than florida. I forget all that was said, but I remember that it was sunset, and the boat we were on had water in it all seeped into the floor. The boat wasn't sinking, it just looked like a modern boat that had been mistreated so all the boards were looses, and leaking.

I forget what was said, but my dad and I stayed and talked for a while, and Dad began to say something about leaving as he walked out the door and I began to follow. The scene immediately changed, and we were on a different boat. Or rather, it was one of those things where we were on the same boat but it transformed into something else, a bigger boat, with carpeted (and dry) floors, all closed in with glass walls. Very fancy. I then saw that almost everyone I know, family wise, was there, and they were celebrating something I had done. People would stand up to the microphone and tell about stories of things I had accomplished. It was a party for me, basically, thrown by family and a few friends. I was having a good time watching everybody, but I felt more like a spirit floating around the party just watching more than interacting, as I do in most dreams. And the the frightening part came:

I look over, and it is still sunset, and there are three or four people sitting there on the other side of a table, and their souls were blanketed in darkness. (I can feel auras in my dreams) The shadow of the top of the window just barely covers them, so they are nbot technically in the sunlight, and I don't know what made me know, but they were vampires.

They had not shown fangs, or done anything but sit there and stare, acting like they enjoyed the party, but I somehow knew, because this was my dream, that they were vampires, and I became extremely afraid for my life. I immediately started running, but slowly almost like I had forgotten something, towards a small hallway on the ship. The large windows beside me gave me an idea for escape. But when I examined the windows, they were all sealed with little locking mechanizmsa that were held in place by philips head screws. This was a matter of life and death to me, so my immediate thought was simply to break a window and dive out. As soon as I thought it though, it's like I thought about it in my dream and realized I was too weak. Now, in real life I could punch out a window just fine, but in the dream (it was a strange kind of me envisioning me not being able to break it while already having the vision of the dream itself sort of thing) I was unable to even rattle it, chair or otherwise. So I ran down the short hallway examining each lock to see if one was undone or was not screwed down. I began to think I might have to go find a screw driver from the captain's quarters (Aparently the ship had a captain now...?). But as I rounded a corner, one of the windows was not only undone, but opened up, and I thought that someone else must have tried escaping because they knew about the vampires as well. I quickly climbed out the window and attempted to climb across the side of the boat.

The boat, now a MASSIVE ship was circling a giant rock, and I was many stories up, and off the side of a cliff we kept passing was a ladder, on which I could climb up (It was at leaste a thousand foot climb, mind you) to safety. I was only hoping the boat would not see me climbing and stop to let the vampires get me as I attempted to get to the top. Now that I think about it, they probably would have passed me several times before I reached the jungle at the top of the cliff to hide. But I didn't make it off the ship before I awoke.

What does this mean?

There's a whole lot of imagery here to decipher, but I will focus on my immediate impressions.

The first thing I thought was when you saw the windows with the screwdrivers, the screwdrivers were there as a tool for escape. The solution to the immediate problem was there but was missed. Does this sound like anything in your current life situation? Do you have a dilemma that you feel you have the answer or solution for but just can't grasp it?

The second thing is the settings keep looming larger and larger. There may be a growing problem that needs an immediate solution but in the meantime is creating more problems? Does this fit anything in your life?

The third thing I noticed was that vampires could represent something that is draining or sucking the energy (figuratively speaking) right out of you. Sometimes people like this are referred to as energy vampires. Do you know someone like this whose company just tires you out?
