Dreams
Weird dreams last night.
There was an old iconic grandmother woman who was a vampire trying to kill us, but luckily my sister was a vampire slayer and showed up in time to save us. She stabbed the woman through the heart with a wooden stake, which is not as easy as you see in the movies. There's flesh, bone and muscle in the way, and vampires are especially tough, and afterward the old lady didn't vanish into dust. My sister had to haul away the body. Once my sister left, the old lady's cat got out, and the cat revealed that it was also a vampire. I had my thick leather fire-tending gloves and an aluminum baseball bat which were allowing me to defend myself, but not doing anything to defeat the vampire cat who was intent on getting me.
That's when I woke up. It was the middle of the night, so I shook it off and went back to sleep.
I was in the town of Teletiateth, it was an old west town the way the old west really was, not the way it's portrayed in fiction. It was the future and it was on another planet. The town was about 8 years old, a relatively new settlement in the greater scheme of things. The children who were born there were all sickly and it was not uncommon for a child to spontaneously die with no warning. No one knew why. People moved there because the planet healed all sickness. No one knew why. My parents were there, running around and feeling great.
Then I woke up. It didn't directly come up in the dream, but I had the sense that people were realizing that it wasn't worth it to settle Teletiateth and instead make it a retirement community.
They were both intensely vivid dreams which stuck with me after I woke up.
