Pactum Sanguinis

Hello dreamers, I just had the coolest experience and I thought that it would be a good chance for those of you who enjoy interpreting dreams to give it a go, this one has me totally stumped.
The dream started out with me lying on this big obsidian platform that was floating in space, it was incredibly vivid and there were more stars in the sky than can even possibly exist. I stood up and started walking around but as soon as I took my first step I started sinking into the obsidian. the stars were reflected in the black glass and my body was going into its own reflection in a way I cant really explain with words. Once it was at my chest I started to panic since I couldn’t feel the parts of my body beneath the obsidian and as I struggled, bright red cracks started arching out from where I was and spreading through the obsidian, they went far away into the distance and started to climb up across the dome of the sky. When it got up to my neck level the entire platform was red and the cracks were about to converge at the top of the sky, but before I could see the points converge I was sucked under the redness. I shut my eyes tight and when I opened them I noticed I was lying down on some pale white pillars Coated in a fluid the same red as the cracks. I stood up and saw the entirety of the thing I was standing on, it was a giant skeletal hand and as the gloom receded from the baleful red glow of the liquid I saw the full body of the beast that I was looking at. the creature was a human skeleton, bound to a giant golden crucifix by blood red chains that glowed a fierce umber, there was all manner of blades stuck through the spaces between its arm bones and ribs, tips buried into the crucifix, holding the being in place, Its legs and the bottom of the crucifix lost in the void below. The red liquid was being drawn up from where it fell on its hand, swirling in streams into the abominations eye. One of its eyes was consuming the red, the fluid pouring into it in a fierce torrent. In the other eye lay a darkness so complete that I dare not describe it to you for fear that it will be brought into this world. It was really dark, you’ll have to take my word for it. through its shattered teeth poured gibberish in a thousand languages and it strained against the chains as if to break free from the crucifix. The crucifix, which was actually quite beautiful and seemed out of place in this abysmal realm was wrought in shining gold and adorned with rubies and strange iridescent stones that don’t exist here. It was marred only by the words “Pactum Sanguinis” carved harshly into its head. (I don’t actually know what pactum sanguinis means so if anyone wanted to help out it would be much appreciated.)With a mighty tug the skeleton broke the chain around its ribs and pulled the swords free they floated about aimlessly in space as the skeleton loomed closer, the words pouring out of its mouth raising in volume it leaned in with its eye of darkness, the voices raising to a terrible shrieking roar. And in the very bottom of the darkness I saw my reflection, at that moment my face contorted into a horrible scream and the red fluid came gushing out of my mouth drowning my vision in crimson.
Have fun :grin:
Best wishes,

“Blood contract”

Funny, a Google search for the phrase brought up the first result as a Harry Potter fanfiction with a vampire at Hogwarts.

It’s actually latin, so it’s not surprising about its use in a fanfict. Pactum as our “Pact”, and Sanguinis being “of blood”.

Funny, I’ve never even seen those movies, except for the first one. That chocolate frog looked tasty. :tongue:
