I was in a building that looked like a traditional Spanish house courtyard, with rooms on three floors. I was on the lowest floor and felt two presences: one on the first floor with me and another on the second, watching me. The presence on the first came out of the shadows and started chasing me; I knew he was a vampire, and the other was too, but I kept looking up for help from the one that stayed in the shadows. I sensed I knew him, or I knew he wasn’t like this other vampire.

My husband was riding the passenger side of a bus and I was sitting in the back. He would look back at me. People were sitting with me and one man kept looking at me. I felt uneasy and ran out of the bus. The people on the bus chasing me were vampires and trying to kill me. They caught me and became upset and asked the man who had kept staring at me what he had given me to drink. He said nothing and they tied him up and I realized he had saved me and I cradled my head on his lap. I felt safe.
