Dreams, as a general rule, never are really about what their surface images depict. They are highly symbolic and metaphorical, and they're also very self-referential. Dreams tell us what we're feeling and thinking about something in our lives. I tend to believe that almost no vampire-related dreams have anything to do with actual vampires. To give a comparison, I often dream about tornadoes. I'm fascinated with tornadoes, but I've never seen one in real life. However, I've had incredibly vivid dreams about them, dreams that left me feeling physically shaken. Once I dreamed of huddling under furniture in a room while the room was ripped to pieces around me, and in another dream I was sucked out a window by the tornado and dropped on the ground! But the point is, these dreams never related to any real life storms--they weren't precognitive or literal. Tornadoes, to my subconscious, represent a primal, uncontrollable, overwhelming force for change that I feel is encroaching on me in my life. When I'm feeling threatened by something, I dream about tornadoes. And just about all vampire dreams seem very much the same.

In a very few cases, people have reported vampire-visitation dreams or experiences that seemed similar to the "nighthag" or related paranormal phenomena. Others are convinced that they are encountering a true entity or intelligence of some kind during their dreams, and since I have been visited by the dead in dreams, I cannot discount the possibility. Martin V. Riccardo's Liquid Dreams of Vampires is a useful resource for those seeking perspective on vampire-related dreams. The author has collected a number of dreams and daydreams about vampires from people, and they're quite interesting.
