Vampires

Last night's dream was very vivid and beautiful and eerie at the same time.

I went to see two movies in one day, and they were like the Twilight movies in that there were Vampires, and Edward Cullen was one of them, and the Volturi, but there the similarities ended. (OK, the titles of the movies might have had been similar to the Twilight titles, but I can't remember them exactly.)

Also, I may have been going to see movies, but part of the time, especially in the second one, I was in the movie, part of the action, my life in danger just as much as any of the human characters.

There were several well-known actors in the movies. Orlando Bloom was in the first one, either as the leader of the Vampires or the leader of the militia that fought the vampires, I don't remember exactly. Miley Cyrus was one of the three evil women vampires that hung out around the evil vampire leader in the second one, who looked just like one of the Volturi leaders in the second Twilight movie. Robert Pattinson was Edward Cullen, but he wasn't in the dream all that much.

Ok the plot. The first movie, my sister married Edward Cullen, but we didn't know that he and his family were vampires, though not the evil vampires. There was a big battle between the militia and the evil vampires, who liked to just sweep through the countryside and kill all of the humans who lived in their way. It was set mostly in an older time period, with most of the vampires and militia wearing Revolutionary War era clothes (my sister and Edward did not seem to be in this time period, and wore normal clothes of today). Most of the buildings were rural wooden farm buildings and stuff too. The vampires looked a lot like they do in the Twilight movies, except they didn't get sparkly in the sun, and they were more blue (making them zombie-ish?). Both sides of the conflict, the militia and the vampires, were trying to prevent the common folk from figuring out that the bad guys were vampires, probably to keep us from freaking out. I'm not sure how we escaped in this one, but we did.

The second movie was a lot more intricate and long. At the beginning, we were starting to figure out that my sister's in-laws were not normal humans. The setting for this one was more medieval, with stone cities in some areas (and still rural wooden ones in others). One of the elders from my mission, who just got home and who I have not yet had the chance to talk to, was in this part of the dream. At one point we (we being the group of people I was with the whole time, I'm not sure who they all were) were fleeing from the evil vampires, and somehow one of the streets we were running down was all of a sudden a river, and we had a boat, and this elder turned into a mermaid (ok, a merman) and so he was able to swim and pull the boat faster. Then we found out we had apparently been fleeing the wrong direction, and ended up running into the evil vampires. Once during the movie, Edward was able to step in and say "they are under my protection" and so the evil vampires couldn't get us while he was there. Another time we were in battle in some wooden structure, and this elder was on top of this tower (at tower in a barn like thing? whatever, that's how it was) and managed to fight off the vampires all night, which earned him a lot of respect from the vampires, so they didn't want to kill us right away now, because they were afraid he had some sort of super power. This is the part where I got to walk around and see the inner workings of the evil vampires, like the three evil ladies with the leader. There was also a little girl with them, and I don't remember if she was an evil vampire too or just kept hostage by them to turn into whatever they wanted her to be.

So despite being part of the action, they were still movies, because I remember going home afterward and telling my parents about them.
