I'm using a tea cup to catch rain that contains some kind of power. There's a very important (possibly sacred) torch that I was meant to do something with (I have a vague impression of something involving the sky) but, while standing at the edge of a cliff, I've managed to drop the torch, and I'm watching it fall into the waves and go out. "Oops." A group of five people in a car, on a road trip. They stop at a sushi place and one of them goes off to try to pick up a woman he saw outside. Two of the others say something, sheepish, about how they've been hitting the 'family' note a little too much on this trip, it must have freaked him out, and now he's proving to himself how unattached to them he is. They don't mind. There's a portrait, tall and very narrow, of a woman standing in front of a Buddhist grave marker. The woman who was the subject of the portrait is standing in front of the painting, looking at it. A strange reptile-like creature steps out of the painting of the grave, and I know this is her dead son. There's a memory gap - next fragment I remember clearly is in a dark space with three exits, an entrance to an afterlife, and the woman's talking with her son, who now looks more or less as he did in life - human - although there are shadows clinging to him in a shape suggesting a tail, and he's standing halfway in one of those three exits, with flames around his feet. They'd been saying something about how that exit's not for her, after she tried to hug him and he stopped her. She says, "Mommas hurt, darling. Men die." Then she vanishes.
had this dream I was well taken by someone to this house (Note: the period is 2011). A unknown person said I was suppose to go into one of the rooms and put on a dress. I asked what would happen if I didn't. And the voice said to look in the coffins. I guessed female vampires were in it. I also mention not to send Frankenstein's monster after me. But when I looked in to a mirror, I noticed the man speaking had a mask on and I said "You're Eric, the Phantom of the Opera of the Paris Opera House". Eric was a bit surprised but got over it. After singing some songs I knew off the top of my head. I talked to him nicely. And he kind of let me go (but somehow when I was in the house I went back into the 19th century.) and the person outside was a bit surprised. But we got on/in the coach. I got myself some food for Frankenstein monster and I also got some vials out and pricked myself (I bet vampires would be surprise to have someone freely give them blood and when the person's awake too). First thing I did is when I noticed Frankenstien's monster coming, I hopped out of the coach and started talking to him like he was an ordinarily person. I gave him a name "Peri Frankenstein" and gave him the food I got ready for him. (The coach people thought I was nuts) Than he acted a lot nicer and left. Just a few seconds later female vampires appeared. I gave them the vials of blood. "Dracula would have been here but he's too ashamed of being someone's else's 'servant'." one of the female vamps said. After they left I collapsed? fainted? onto the sidewalk (but not because of any corset). When I was collapsed two people come into the town. One was Dr.Frankenstein who was very surprised at how his monster's behaviour had changed. The other man was Johnathan Harker. They both find me collapsed on the street. They take me to a friend's mansion (don't know whose). I wake up a couple of days later and find the two men in my "room" at the mansion. But I acted like I was fully dressed and they were both surprised to see I knew who they were. After chatting with them a bit I looked out a window next to my bed and saw people with torches (and I mean ACTUALLY torches, not the British word for flashlights) and signs saying "Kill the witch" (the witch I think preferred to me). I told the two men get out of the house. I somehow summoned rain which put out the fires on the torches.
