So apparently even when I leave myself in a REM sleep to finish off a dream it still won't finish itself. How annoying!

I dreamed that I was a vampire companion. IDK why they're vampires considering the details of the rest of the dream, but in my head it was clear they were vampires, a kind of weird elite of the town/city. They also put on a parade in the downtown every year (kind of like how the Mission Inn puts on the Festival of Lights here, and the Mission Inn is owned by Republicans, who are kind of like vampires anyway) and it's usually incredibly shiny, and there's even a train with... shops? Like the shops I grew up with in Malaysia, but moving. At some point at the coaxing of my vampire I get onto the train, and get into a shop with clothing, mostly vests and jackets and try to find something that fits me, and the tailor looks extremely hard done by to have to watch me try the clothes on over my own clothes as if I'm in the nude in front of him.

Then when I get off the train, I go sit by the big shiny stage where very few people gather and it's apparently only for vampire companions or some shit, and the parade this time is less sparkly than usual because of some vampire war, and some of us get onto a bus to go for dinner somewhere. And we go to this nice big old house that's been converted into a restaurant, except we don't even eat in the main restaurant, but go downstairs to some dingy room in the basement where we have to unfold tables ourselves.

I can only remember one vampire being there who's trying to spend time with his companion, a really nice quiet guy (in contrast to the vampire who's a typical biker-jacket-wearing badboy) and they sit with me and we're served tofu roast pork of some sort, which has the texture of the roast pork skin but not much anything else. It's mostly tasteless except for a very iron taste (because it's mostly blood) and it's the standard substitute that vampires eat at restaurants when people deign to serve them.

After eating, we get back on the bus to go to a nearby park and walk with our vampires and it becomes a sad sight because apparently in the "courtship" process vampires are monogamous and some of us companions have vampires who either have died sometime recently or are too busy to come so we're left alone to kind of stand around awkwardly, all by ourselves. And it occurs to me to maybe make friends with some of the lonesome companions, figure out what's going on with the vampire ish (at this point I'm still not clear on what the hell is going on, backstage-wise) (and I never will be, I guess), but our attention is drawn to across the road where there are pens of sheep, and two persons and two dogs per pen, and it's clear the dogs are encouraging one of the persons to help herd the small flock of sheep in the pen.

There's also the bit where I'm trying to frustratedly teach someone how to use a Samsung camera to take pictures of the scene. And it's through the screen that I catch the transformation of the person the dogs are encouraging into another dog, and the two dogs transform into people to applaud. Because as it turns out, the person who just turned into a dog is a companion and one of the steps towards vampirism is apparently learning how to transform into a dog. (And herd sheep? IDK) So me and the other solo companions decide to take a shot at it, and I go first.

I think it's something in the food we were given that helps with the transformation and it honestly just feels like hallucinating, except I remember that the transformation's being witnessed by other people, and it was caught on-camera so even if we were all sharing drugs, no one's tampering with the camera like that. And suddenly everyone's cooing at me because I'm a shih tzu.

We repair back to the house-restaurant which apparently is also a hotel upstairs and try to find someplace to sleep. And there are visitors and I don't remember what happens anymore because shit got too weird and I woke up.

Could be a cool story.
