"Paul, come up here," I called to him.
"What's up?" he yelled from the basement.
"The cats are fine, just come up," I said sternly.
He came upstairs and I told him someone knocked on the door. We both hid in the bathroom and looked out the window. There was no one out there. Paul said he thought he heard kids laughing when he was in the basement. I guess it was probably kids knocking on doors and running away. But it really scared me...
It scared me so much that I had a dream about it that night. I dreamed I woke up the next morning and someone had put up a bunch of blow up reindeer in our yard. You know, like Christmas decorations. I thought to myself, "Oh, so that knock on the door was just someone playing a trick on us. They knocked on our door to show us the blow up reindeer."
Paul and I went outside to look at the reindeer. That's when I noticed that there were papers taped to the reindeer. On the papers were drawings of Paul and I TIED UP!!!
I immediately realized this was a sick prank by a serial killer! I called 911 and the dispatcher assured me she'd be sending someone out to investigate. But before I even hung up the phone, all of my neighbors came over and started touching and messing with the crime scene. I started to scream at them to stop, they were ruining forensic evidence! No one stopped.
How freaking freaky is that dream? All because some idiot kids (probably) knocked on our door late at night!
What do you think this dream means???
Did anyone knock on your door in the middle of the night?

Dreams are pretty crazy--I wouldn't even want to analyze why I dream about some of the things that I do.
ReplyDeleteME neither. There are some dreams I would never even tell anyone about...
DeleteRight?!? Like you wake up and you are literally embarrassed or you think 'geez I am super twisted'.
DeleteThat is a strange dream!! Why would somebody knock on your door so late ?
ReplyDeleteI don't open the door if somebody knocks. If anybody knocks the door and Roger is not here, i hide until I know they are gone. I'm weird to that level.
I don't know why someone would knock so late. It terrified me! I generally don't answer the door if it's someone I don't know, even if Paul is home.
DeleteProbably some bored kids. They need someone to scare the crap our of them just so they know how it feels. Dreams are fascinating. I dream a lot but do not remember all of them. I even dream and know that it is a dream. Sorry the punks scared you. That is total crap.
ReplyDeleteI have known I was dreaming too! It is a weird feeling.
DeleteOk, I just read a book and the main characters were able to go through some dream doors...it was weird and interesting. Sounds like it might be right up your alley. Behind Her Eyes was the title.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the rec, Wendy!
DeleteOh man, someone knocking would scare the crap out of me. Not surprised you had a dream about it. Yikes.
ReplyDeleteI know. Could you imagine if we had been woken up from sleep to a knock on the door... or if it was later, at like 2 or 3 in the morning!? AUGH!!!
DeleteLate night knocking would freak me out too. I love that both of you hid haha! It sounds like the knocking and your podcasts/reading caught up with you and gave you the dream. I love that you were worried about the forensic evidence!
ReplyDeleteI was honestly kind of disappointed Paul hid with me. I wanted him to be the brave one!
