Questions about awakening will be answered here.

Q) What is the awakening?
A) Awakening is like a vampire's puberty. Obviously, we also have puberty, but awakening puts your body through a lot of changes to get you to being a full vampire. It's also usually partnered with a lot of mental changes. Dealing with the fact that you want to drink someone's blood is not an easy thing.
Symptoms of awakening...? Mostly just the same as symptoms of vampirism. But I'm not going to list symptoms right now, because symptoms are just symptoms. I have headaches; I pass out; I go blind. Those are all also symptoms of lyme disease, migraines, brain tumors, and drugs. All doctors do is elimate the diseases that it is not (lyme disease, brain tumor, drugs), and diagnose you with the one thing left; even if in the future we find out that it's something different. The doctors have come to the conclusion that I have migraines.
The symptoms of vampirism don't just point to vampirism. They also point to anemia, chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), and about a million and two other things. All we've done with those symptoms is gone to the doctors and eliminated all the other possibilities, and come to the last conclusion; and we are dealing with it the best we can.
So, in conclusion, the symptoms don't really matter. What matters is the conclusion: we need to get energy. Whether that be through psychic means, or with an x-acto -- we need energy.
i say this because many people who think they're awakening (not necessarily you) bring too much importance to the symptoms of vampirism, and don't have that one conclusion. And, it needed to be said.
So now that that's said, here are some of the major symptoms, but keep them in perspective: Being nocturnal, having a hunger for blood, photosensitivity (whether with skin or eyes), empathy or other natural psychic abilities, and a higher sensory awareness.

Q) Around what age to people start to realize they're a vampire?
A) It typically happens in late teens to early 20's. There can however, be exceptions on either side of the scale.
Q) How do I know if I am awakening or if I am a vampire?
A) The question of awakening is a difficult one. No one can tell you if you're awakening or if you're a vampire; it's a conclusion that you need to come to on your own. Read through this site (sanguinarius.org), as well as other sites on real vampires, including their message and support boards. Look inside yourself and ask, "Do I NEED to take the energy/blood that I want?" It won't be a decision that you come to lightly. It will take a lot of soul-searching, introspection and time on your part. --Little ego
Many of us have spent long nights wondering who and what we are. For me, suffering unexplainable pains, and being totally consumed, as well as relieved, by the taste of blood brought me to the conclusion that I am a vampire, a sanguinarian, a blood-drinkers, or whatever else you may call it.
Try not to ask yourself, "Am I a vampire?", but instead ask, "Do I need an alternate form of energy?", or "Am I afflicted with this condition?" Eliminating the word "vampire", and everything associated with it, can help you to make a more thoughtful decision. --MFuture

Q) How long does awakening last for?
A) Awakening doesn't have a set time span. Awakening is the process of realizing what you are. You could go through this process forever, never really realizing and/or accepting, or you could accept it and get on with your life.
Q) I have just awakened and I was wondering why I seem to like anything that involves vampires?
A) This is perfectly normal. Often a newly-awakened vampire will have a intrest in anything vampire related, be it fiction or non-fiction. Basically you are trying to find something to relate with. You may grow out of this, you may not.
{note: Just because you like vampire-related things does not make you a vampire, and you don't have to like and/or read Vampire related things to be a vampire.}
