I had a dream last night that was so vivid I woke up afraid of what I might have called out.
I am being fed off of while I sleep, and though I am not against it, it is somewhat un-nerving. I have experienced this type of feeding before and am very much aware that it is happening. I have clearly invited it, but from whom?
XIX. Dreamwalking
Remember, we can feed through a touch, but our spirits extend far beyond the limits of our body. Long-distance draws that are just as intimate and intense as feeding flesh to flesh can be achieved.
When you are starved for energy and no opportunity to adequately sate your needs has arrived, you may find that you will send yourself out in dreams.
This is much like astral travel, although it is largely an unconscious activity. You will dream of someone close to you. This can be a family member, a good friend, a current or a former lover. This person need not be located physically close to you, as the subtle reality does not know distance as we know it in the physical world.
Your body may be confined to your bedroom, yet your dream-self may wander hundreds and even thousands of miles away.
The dream will seem unusually vivid. It is very likely that the dream will also be lucid, and you will realize at least in part that you are dreaming, but that this other person is somehow actually present in the dream.
In the course of the dream, you will have an exchange with the target person. The exchange can be overtly vampiric, or it may manifest itself in an erotic context. The person who you have visited this way will wake up tired and worn just as if you had fed directly from them that night.
Often, they will recall the dream as well, and if it is possible to compare experiences, you will find that certain elements of the dreamscape were shared by both people involved in the dream.
With practice, you will come to be able to distinguish between your ordinary dreams and these dream-walking experiences. The process does not always have to be unconscious. You may gain mastery over this ability and dream-walk at will. However it remains a survival technique inherent in the vampiric nature.
Therefore, especially in periods of dire need, you may find your soul wandering regardless of your personal control.
XXII. Subtle Links
Each time you feed from someone, you forge a subtle link with them. This link is like an astral tentacle or a silver cord. It connects your subtle body to their subtle body. Every time you feed from this person after forging the initial link, you make this link stronger and deeper.
The link can also be strengthened simply through casual contact with the person, so whenever you come together socially the link is reinforced bit by bit.
This link serves as a constant connection to the person. Through it, you can sense where they are, what their emotional state is, and if they are in any physical danger or distress. The deeper and stronger the link, the easier it is to travel down it in order to sense the person on the other end.
Through a strong link, you will be able to pick up stray thoughts in addition to emotions. You will also be able to implant suggestions and emotions. By tugging gently on the link with the person, you can make them think of you and draw them to you.
With concentration, an especially strong link will enable you to extend your awareness completely enough so your are able to perceive through the other person's senses.
The eroticism of these dreams is killing me. They may as well be real for how intense they are.
I am immensely curious as to where they are coming from.
Is it you that visits me at night? Is it you that I can taste as I am waking?
