Ok, until a few days ago, I was never interested in vampires, never thought I was or even involved with them. But then, I began having visions in the middle of the day of me being a vampiric singer in Romania. I ignored it since I probably was just so into my book that I just gotten (New Moon, note that I haven't even really read yet).
They went away for a while until my home-clung spirit told my brother that I was a vampire in my past life. I kinda thought that was really wierd because, I usually have hints of my past lives and I never really had one of a vampire... execpt me usually loving early morning, night and sunset, and never like to be up during the day... and usually drinks thick fluids instead of eating solids... ok never mind. =D
Anyway. I had a dream of me in the past, of me on rocky like areas of romania by the sea and it was about to hit sunrise soon. A gorgeous man with long reddish brown hair stood a long distance from me, next to him a woman with resemblance to him; assuming she was his sister. He said to me, "Become my bride. You'll have all the time in the world."
and I said "I don't think I wanna die." -- the rest was a blur but I do remember chosing the life of the living dead and I was scared for my life, so with a blink of an eye, he was flying towards me really fast and instead of biting my neck, he nipped mychin as he flew by. weird huh? my body became hot and cold at the same time and I remember falling and just before I hit the rocky ground, I began to fly, rest is me being all happy and B.S. like that, then sun rise, and I woke up.
SO ANYWAY... I was wondering if anyone here knows of a unique vampie charcter that I've just described. I know for a fact this isn't a dream bcause when I woke up, there was a huge raw bump on my chin. I want to know if him and his sister are still, alive/dead or have they been reincarnated. Any help is welcome, thanks! <3

Speaking from a scientific, History Major, point of view: The legends of vampires were created as stories to both explain things people didn't understand, and use events people had witnessed to make them more real, to teach lessons. No different than Christians in the Middle Ages using a famine or plague that was ongoing, to point fingers of fear at the devil and local unwanteds. Some times bodies were dug up, and the nails and hair (appeared to have) kept growing after death. I believe that was the accepted explanation for years, that the hair and nails can keep growing after death. I think now they say that what really happens is that, as the skin dries up, it contracts, pulling backward from the hair and nails, making them appear longer.
Vampirism was also used to explain diseases and disorders.. like the "Madness of King George" also known as Porphyria. {"The porphyria disorders can be grouped by symptoms—whether they affect the skin or the nervous system. The cutaneous porphyrias affect the skin. People with cutaneous porphyria develop blisters, itching, and swelling of their skin when it is exposed to sunlight. The acute porphyrias affect the nervous system. Symptoms of acute porphyria include pain in the chest, abdomen, limbs, or back; muscle numbness, tingling, paralysis, or cramping; vomiting; constipation; and personality changes or mental disorders. These symptoms appear intermittently."} Another condition that is possibly a basis for some vampire legends is Albinism . Click the link to learn more.
Vampires and the link to Romania comes from the legend of Dracula, or the son of Dracul. He was a ruthless man, who stories said dined on his supper in a field of bodies impaled on spears, dipping his bread in their blood. Historians believe this was nothing more than propaganda... a story made up and spread to keep people from invading. While impaling your enemies on spears is a practice that dates back to the Romans, and it is possible that Dracula did so, they doubt he ate among them, or used blood as his dipping sauce of choice.
Speaking from a non- scientific, none History Major point of view: Sure... it could be possible. After all, there are two facts working in their favor. One, everyone has seen the Hollywood version of them, and thus there is a cult of romance around them, and two- no one really things they are real, because of Hollywood. After all, if you were a vampire, would you really go around telling people.. or proving it... knowing that they might have some idea of how to kill you? No.. you'd probably hide out, pretending you weren't what you are. Or, you'd mix with the Vamp-Wannabes, hiding in plain sight, while under a protective cloak of "They are all just pretending". However, I'm sure it is a fairly lonely life.. while you have all the time in the world to do what you want, to learn and become good at what you do... you watch the people around you die, while thinking of them as nothing more than a food source. And once you've learned all you want to learn, seen all you want to see, and decided the world is going to crap fast.. I suppose it's just a quick walk into the sunrise.... Who knows. It's possible. We may never know for sure.
