Jades,

A good chance the dream is addressing an emotional experience to do with your grandmother. At your ge {16 at the time of the dream} it would less likely be a symbolic image. Being strapped down could suggest you were emotionally 'strapped', emotionally controlled by this experience{s} which has affected your 'foundations' {legs} and you have to regain control of the emotions related to the experience{s}. A vampire is either/and a part of yourself or a person/experience which drains your emotional energies. It would involve an experience that prevents you from having normal perception in your life {a retreat from reality, or denial}. Your mother calling you may point to being named in some capacity where responsibility is involved. Her killing him could suggest ending some aspect associated with the experience {the mother is probably aware of}. But to do that this emotional experience would have to be seen. That may suggest either you do not want to remember the experience because of the emotional pain or have blocked it out or repressed the experience{s}.

Note: I use the words 'could, 'suggest', instead of stating it was an actual experience because only you can know of the experience. Interpreting dream images allows a periphery view of the emotional conflict a dream is trying to help resolve and not the actual experience. No one but you knows for sure what that experience{s} could be.

Outside is the outer ego life.The hooded family likely suggests something covered up in the unconscious {again, a too painful experience, blocked or repressed}. This experience causes negative emotions in you and may have a bearing on yon some aspect of your waking life {sad and gloomy}. In the distance, far off within your unconscious is the adverse effect this experience{s] have had in your life. The female corpse is you, some part of you is dead because of these experiences. You want to take action {this could point to an actual waking desire or attempt} but the pain involve prevents your ability to do so {knife in hand}. You are controlled to a great extent emotionally by this/these experience{s}. You want to deny this and you run away and hide from the emotions. But they are embedded within your unconscious ad they will always find a way to be a part of you. It prevents you from getting anywhere with your life {personal growth} and this is highlighted in your waking life {lights}. This experience is wanting to be reconciled {being nice to you} and could also involve actual waking experiences {to do with an actual male}. You are weak from the emotional strain. You are forced to unconsciously 'partake' of the emotional energies {unconsciously control over you}. It is a constant in your life, a powerful unconscious force that controls aspects of your life.

Summary
My sense is you have unconscious motivating factors from earlier experiences in life {to do with a male and possibly associated with your real grandmother} that affect your personality and how you act today. You may have blocked or repressed emotional experiences that cause this. Look at your life when you were 16 and determine if there was an experience that would fit or if there are motivating factors from earlier in life that cause you to act/react in a particular way. If you can provide some info about the relationship with your grandmother {then and overall} as well as info about any males that you were influenced by. The male on one level could be your father {that relationship is capable of draining the 'blood' from you}. It may also influence choice you make in relationships with men in the presence {something I've suggested previously}. That could have something t do with your current bf.

Well, I have had some of my dreams at my grandmother's home but also about this dream I was dating a bad ex. He wanted to be like him. (Sexual matters). I did not want that. He wanted to change me and make me into something that I'm not. And yes he have caused me very bad emotional pain during that time of the dream.

Jades22,
But the dream begins in your grandmother's house. The opening statement of a dream sets the stage for what the dream is trying to communicate. Either your grandmother is a reference to your literal grandmother or something associated with her or she is a symbolic reference. A symbolic reference would mean she represents an aspect of yourself, she is you. She would represent attributes that your own grandmother exemplifies in or for you. At your age and the way the dream reads I sense it has something to do related to some aspect of your actual grandmother. Were you living with her at the time of the dream? Is there a relative or someone close to your grandmother who would fit {symbolically} with the insane-vampric man? The only other explanation is this insane man is a part of you. Some emotional energy has you 'chained down' {trapped/holding you down emotionally}. My sense is there are earlier childhood issues involved. Sex could be part of that. Unconsciously {cloaked in black} you are possessed by an emotional energy {You belong to me}.

Toward the end of the dream this 'man' who has control of you emotionally 'sat' beside you and was being nice. Is there any man who may have hurt you in the past who {at the time you had this dream} being nice to you. Perhaps trying to make up for something bad he did? Would that fit your father {not saying it was a sexual experience}? Dreams are like puzzles except the language is coded. Breaking the code and putting the pieces together will fit somewhere in your life {especially emotionally}. I can't do that, only you can. Take some time and see where it may fit. Go back to the time of the dream and think about that and what was happening then.

If you post another dream make it a recent one. Not only because you will a good memory of it but because it will state what is happening now in your life. At your age things can change rapidly.

O.k. And I did not have this dream when I lived with my grandmother. Also My father never did really hurt me because he wasn't even in my life at the time of that dream so I never really thought about him. The only guy that was in my life during that dream was my awful ex. And he was very awful towards me. I also don't know of anyone close to my grandmother that symbolizes the insane vampric guy and my wifi is cutt off at home so it'll take me some time to reply back. Thank-You.

Jades,
You are not understanding the associations I am trying to present. Your father didn't have to physically hurt you, it was emotional. As I stated previously your dreams are about your emotions. Until you are able to connect the associations to your waking life as they apply to your emotions an analysis of your dreams will not help. If you have a recent dream, one from the past few days, send it. We will try one more time.

Mr. Gifford I'm sorry that I didn't explain myself well. I did not mean physically. I was referring to it being emotional and I didn't explain well so I apologize. And I have had a recent dream of boyfriend again but for some rrason I can't remember it even though I told my boyfriend the dream the day it happened.

Jades,
Post the next dream you do remember so we can see the state of your unconscious as it is in the present day. At your age things change rapidly and any continuing patterns should emerge that can be recognized. Also let me know the exact state your relationship is in with your bf. That has been a constant in your dreams, the is bf and past bf. This may be pointing to something related to the relationship with your father that defines why and who you choose as bf. The grandmother's house images in the last dream could have associations to your father, he being in your life at the time of that dream and a part of the reason for the grandmother image. It may difficult or even impossible to remember what that could be and this is why I would need to see a current dream. If there are patterns that fit with the other dreams then that could reveal a central emotional issues in your life, one that your dreams are trying to help you sort out and resolve. We will stay with it until we discover what these dreams are trying to communicate to you. I senese they have to do with father issues in relationship with bf, at least partly.

The relationship with my boyfriend is pretty well. I love him and I know that he loves me. I never really thought me and him would be together because we were friends at first and I thought that me and him would remain friends, but we became closer than that. Me and my boyfriend do argue from time to time but we always make-up. As of now me and boyfriend are very fine. This is the dream I remebered now.

Had a dream me and boyfriend was happy together. We went out in public and enjoyed ourselves together. I noticed he was a smoker. (He doesn't really smoke in reality.) He loved being with me just like I loved being with him. Me and him joked around and had fun with eachother. I saw a mall with this beautiful expensive store and decided to bring my boyfriend in it. He said "You can have anything you want." I picked up some lace panties and a black bra. I then seen a satin, revealing, pearl pink top that exposed some belly. It was for 188.00 dollars. I was deciding on whether to get it or not because I did not want to blow his money. I woke up after that.
