Pretend vampire

[boccaderlupo]

I dreamed I lived on a small hill in a wooded area, almost a kind of park or reserve. It was dark out, but the woods were illuminated by the moon overhead. Every night I would leave my little house atop the hill dressed in a Dracula cape and roam the woods, pretending to be a vampire and scaring people wandering through. Every night the woman who lived in the house below me on the hill would emerge in a costume not unlike a woodchuck wearing a gas mask and pretend to give orders to all and sundry. I never saw the woman during the daytime, so didn't know her true form, but only ever saw her in costume. One day we encountered each other in the woods, and a staring contest ensued as she tried to tell me I had to do this and that. Then we both ran away from each other, back to our homes, because in the end, we both knew it was all just pretend.

Have you ever read the children's fairy tale, The Boy of the Three Year Nap? This reminds me of it a lot. (Also, it's one of my daughter's favorites.)

I have not, but will take that as a suggestion!
