Dream: The Blood Games

Dream time...
I'm part of some group, possibly military, I don't remember. Anyhow, we do training that is akin to being in a video game, where you have to find supplies to use and they are just around somewhere in the environment. In each of these sessions, we start out either first or in a diffferent location than the 'people' that we are to battle. The opposing group/individuals are vampires. Needless to say, they don't need high powered rifles and are probably already wearing all they need. The earlier training sessions don't seem dangerous, but the later one seemed more important and/or dangerous. In between or after all of the sessions were done, someone was telling me what a disgrace I was for allowing myself to get enthralled by one of those blood suckers and while on live recording. This was a shock for 2 reasons. Number one, I didn't know we were being recorded or at least not on live tv. Number two, I didn't even remember that vampire encounter and had a mild panic to check my neck for markings, both with my hand and a mirror. They were there.

About me lately...
For October, I have watched quite a lot horror movies, which did include some vampire movies. However, the most recent this weekend were Hellraiser movies. The only connection in that was a thought that popped into my head from a meme about a landlord wanting money or blood for rent. I have been sick this weekend with a cold, but I don't know if that matters toward this dream. (Sometimes physical feelings encourage the subconscious to make something up in a dream.) Pain in my throat, maybe? lol, This is my brain after all. Another thing that comes to mind isn't that recent, but it was before surgery months ago. When I got my blood tested, prior to the surgery, the doc sent me a message before I even got the test results. "Your tank's half empty, take iron twice daily with vitamin C." (it was longer, but yeah.) Basically, I found out I was animic, which I had been oblivious to. Currently, my cheeks are plenty rosey, both because the cause of the blood loss was fixed and because I'm a little warm.
