Before I write about this dream. There is a bit of background that I think might be related to it. I have an anxiety disorder, and lately, It's been getting rough. Most of the time, I'm perfectly normal. No symptoms no anything, but for the past two weeks I have been incredibly paranoid about EVERY social interaction I have had. And I've had two panic attacks within a two week period. Just Yesterday, I went to a get together and met some new friends. We hung out all day, had a lot of fun, and on the way home I got anxious about whether they had actually liked me or not. Crazy, right? I tried reasoning with myself, saying that if they didn't like me they wouldn't have hung out with me and all that jazz, but with most anxiety disorders, you just cannot talk any sense into yourself. and here's where the dream starts:

In the dream I was running from an old decrepit vampire, who had no eyes. They were just empty skin covered sockets. I ran into a room that resembled the inside of a gutted school bus.(no chairs no anything. just a long passageway with the windows and no ceiling.) Apparently the only way to keep myself from being killed or sucked dry was to color the windows red and green and to cover the top of the passageway so the creature couldn't get at me from above. It worked, but the vampire was pissed and told me, " I will get you. No matter where you are. No matter what you are doing I will find you and I will destroy you." This is were that scene cuts off and I move into what seems to be another dream.

In this one, I was with some old friends that I have had for a while. I'm doing yoga and stretching with them when all of a sudden my heart starts racing and I go into a panic attack IN THE DREAM. My friends are trying to calm me down as I'm shaking and am petrified that for some reason I am going to go into cardiac arrest and die. Then I wake up. My heart was still racing and I was still really scared. It took me about five minutes to calm down after I realized it was just a dream. Any Interpretation is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

The first dream seems unrelated to your second dream, based on the symbols. To understand it, here are links to the symbols definitions on this website...

While it is possible that the vampire might be a symbol for your panic attacks, it is more likely that the vampire represents a man (old and decrepit i are symbolic clues as to his identity) in your waking life who is trying to "initiate" you against your will. The school bus and your friends suggest that it may have something to do with someone or a situation at your school. The thought of that situation is a likely reason why you might have the second dream. Think back to when you had the dream, and, given the meaning of the symbols, try to recall who/what might have made you feel threatened, most likely on an emotional level.

Your second dream is an apt reflection of your feelings about your anxiety disorder. Feelings IN dreams are never disguised, so how you feel IN the dream is how you feel about its subject in your waking life. In your dream, you are panicked when you have the attack, which is an understandable and realistic reaction to the possibility of having one. Your dream is not unlike a heart attack dream (dreamdoctor.com/component/dreams/?contro...&task=details&id=980). It reflects your feelings about having the attacks, which is a message to yourself that you want do everything you can to minimize the possibility of them happening. The fact that you had 2 panic attacks in the past 2 weeks would explain why your concern about them would surface in your second dream.

I hope that helps!
