Dream-aroused fantasy

Do you often have vivid dreams where you're able to remember clearly the next morning the "dream dimension" you had entered into the previous night? I don't have many of these vivid dreams where I can recall them long enough for me to record into my "dream diary", but I still maintain one.
I only started this year and I've managed to record a few interesting adventures. By "interesting" I mean supernatural and horror, a few stupid ones too, and one of them though not bothered to be recorded, has remained vivid enough for me to attempt writing a novel out of.
Two other vivid dreams I had perhaps two years ago I can still remember the bulk of their plots. This was how my fantasy for vampires deepened. (It had already started earlier from two romance novels.) I dreamt I met my vampire soul-mate in first-year at university so I'm sulking now because my first-year is almost over and still no sign of him. 
(I'm not really sulking it's just the feeling of "sigh, awww".)
So the other day, I was having a weird argument with my friend on MSN, as usual. And we were debating about vampires. He said vampires are violent and bloody but I argued that vampires are romantic and sexy. They also have cute pet bats. "Cute?" Well, here's my random doodle-depiction of cute vampire pet bats:
Normal bats are... normal. But vampire bats are cute because they're fat and round. That is because vampires are rich and powerful, they live in beautiful antique-style villas and mansions or the grand medieval castles, so their pet bats get well-fed. (At least in my fantasy dimension they do.)
Agree? Disagree? 
Fantasies keep up your imaginative and creative young self and I studied my history. Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered that powerful line: I have a dream
. We should believe in our "dreams", right?

Hm, you know, I really just can't see Vampires ever beeing cute. Or bats. In fact... I'd really just rather look at a cute puppy dog instead.
My dreams normally consist (if I remember them) of Harry Potter and Daniel Radcliffe. I'm going to believe in that dream. -
I had a dream last night where I failed half of my exams (getting my results on Thursday). Let's hope that one doesn't come true!
I've never really thought of bats being cute... but your drawing of one certainly is! I suppose it makes sense if they're living in the vampire mansion.

Do you dream in color? According to my doctor most people don't.
In my opinion, if you wish to believe in your dreams go right ahead. But thinking that a vampire is going to come, remember they have to be around in the dark.
If you like vampires, Rilla. May I suggest Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicle's to read. They are an interesting read. -
lol it seems the dreams that i could remember are the ones where i end up getting shot. i swear i was shot in a past life. i always have this reoccuring dream where im a white man in a saloon w/ my 2 buddies drinkin beer having a good time. i was like one of the most hated men in the city; i believe it was in california somewhere. anyways, i had my back turned and these other western guys came in and started shooting at me. i could feel the bullets hitting me, i stood up and fell on the floor where i died staring up at the ceiling. been having that dream for years.

I've also thought of writing basing on my dreams. Not a novel though, that would be too long, but at least short stories. Most of the time when I dream, I dream of very fantastic / horror like creatures / places / situations
Your bat is extremely cute, but I've never thought of a bat like that, not even if it were a vampire! In fact, I think of vampire bats as even uglier and scarier than regular bats. -
I have vivid dreams all the time. I think there's something wrong with me. *nervous* I've never considered keeping a dream diary, but it sounds like a cool idea. Some of my dreams are hard to express through words though.
I've had a dream about a vampire girlfriend... Heh. She was abusive and wore the pants in the relationship. Books like Twilight put vampires in a sort of romantic light though.
I've also had a dream where I was being chased by flesh-eating zombies. I have to stop playing Resident Evil games...
You've turned the despicable vampire bat into a... cute *twitch* thing. HOW COULD YOU. Tsk tsk. -
Bat drawings are cute... but I can't be anywhere near REAL bats.
As for dreams, I rarely ever remember my dreams... and when I do, they're like SO weird, I can't even describe them in my journal. lol -
For me, dreams leave a gateway to multiple possibilities and impossibilities, such as your bats (adorable) and also holds key to the past and future. More often than not, what I dream is my future. However, they're not as vivid when I wake and I still get deja vu sooner or later.
But anyway, I think vampires are, dark and horrific but some are actually wonderful, like the Disney movie, The Little Vampire, or something, but I do agree with you about the rich, villas, and mansions. Not to mention Victorian style dressing and housing.
We should believe in dreams. It gives an opportunity to realize things we normally would believe in. -
Hahaha, oh my, now I want a vampire bat so I can feed it and feed it till it goes all round and cute :3
I've never remembered any of my dreams though, and if I do remember them... well, they just don't make sense. Haha.
But I agree, vampires are sexy :3
-
what? me believe in a dream where I shrunk to the size of an ant and developed chameleon abilities to escape some ice queen?
oh and cute vampire bats by the way. It fits into the fact I'm reading Anne Rice -
If that bat ever existed, I would want one.
I've had dreams where I woke up thinking that they really happened. Those suck because for a quick second, everything in your memory starts to change. No vampire dreams for me though. -
Waii, I want a pet vampire bat! That's so cute!
I'm afraid I can't remember my dreams for long. The last dream I remember, I was eating a caramel-coated apple. It was delicious! -
i used to have a dream blog, but as soon as i made it couldn't remember my dreams anymore. it's like.. you have it until you need to recall it and then it's gone. so weird.
-
It happens to me sometimes...and the I start to remember the dream somewhere between lunch and then I think about it for a while, if it's good I write it down and if it's not, I just try to forget it!
Your vampire dream reminded me of one of the stories in the movie "Paris Je T'Aime" in which one guy finds a female vampire in Paris, probably it can inspire you to write another story. -
That's a really cute bat
My dreams are mostly about food 
-
I can't say I find vampires or vampire bats to be cute, but that's a nice drawing.
I used to have some really nice, vivid dreams but I haven't had any lately. -
Well, dreams are nice to have... if they are achievable and realistic. Some other dreams are just wonderful to have because they make us feel good at the wake of a morning.
I take my dreams for real but not sometimes, depending I guess. Often I'm dreaming about something that would happen... -
LOL! Love the round stuffed bat.
-
Eee just another newcomer here
but I'm so in love with your emoticons. Gah!
I often have verry weird dreams, which are clear and I think "holy.. what the hell?" in the morning, but by noon I can barely remember them. Such as a dream I had this morning. The gist of it was something like the sky was black, because there was a fire down the road which turned into a fire hurricane. Then statues of Chinese buddha spirits and gods started flying out and everyone/thing was travelling above the clouds, looking at the spirits.
Odd.
When you mentioned vampies and romance novels, I imagined a fiesty female with a breathy voice, "bite me"... "OW NOT THAT HARD, YOU'RE DRAWING BLOOD..!" hahaha. Anyways
(insert o__O expression here)
Your bats are so cute, it looksl ike a fat lolly hahaha. -chomps-
Heh. Okay, I'm going to devour the rest of your site now. Byebyes, take care!

Well can't say that well-fed vampire wouldn't be cute (I might even consider having such a pet
).
