Interpreting dreams - real or bogus?

I have not been a big believer in the interpretation of dreams.
I usually have very vivid and weird dreams and remember them well the next day. Last night I dreamt that I was a vampire - but I was "nice" and did not hurt people. Strange, I know!

I looked up one interpretation of being a vampire and it said this: "To dream that you are a vampire, signifies that you are sucking in the life energy of others for your own selfish benefit."
Another site said: "The vampire represents personal attributes or negative habits that drain energy and resources or cause emotional exhaustion."
That one does make sense! I have been very exhausted lately - with stress...etc.. I start a new job in 2 weeks and the final weeks at my current job are very stressful! I have about 20 reports they want completed (literally!) before I leave.

How about you, what do you think? Are dreams a good source to intrepret for subconscious emotions?

Who decided what particular dreams mean what? Where did they get their info and how did they prove their theories? When someone can answer these questions to my satisfaction, then I'll believe in dream interpretation!

As for your dream, MY interpretation would be that you dreamed about being a vampire because its Halloween and you're seeing Halloween images everywhere and those images invaded your subconcious. Makes as much sense as anything else I've read on the subject...

I think maybe it means you've spent time on the Halloween isle at Walmart....

LOL - Halloween sure can do that to you!

I beleive in it somewhat. Not the complex interpretations where every little thing has significance. But I know that when you dream your teeth are falling out, that's an anxiety dream. And I get those from time to time...

When I used to wait tables, I had dreams where I had so many tables, I didn't know what I was doing. I would dream I had a tray full of drinks and they would start to topple and I would literally jump in bed and wake myself up. Weird.
