Nightmare
I don't often get nightmares. Last night was a combination. I used to have dreams where I would wake up from and still see the people that I was dreaming about in my room. I would physically get up and turn on my light to find out that I was dreaming. Last night I dreamt that a man was trying to catch me and actually kill me. This is often a dream of mine. It came close to it last night though. He did actually cut my neck with a knife of some sort and then I was able to get free but he continued to chase me. He caught me again and this time he was just holding me and I knew that he was going to rape me, I just knew it. I woke myself up and I could see two men standing over my bed. I tried to wake up some more and they were still there. I physically kicked at them to make sure that I was dreaming and I was, it is a really strange feeling to know that you are dreaming and unable to wake up from the dream. I kept wondering if they are really here why aren't the dogs barking, that's part of the reason I knew I was just dreaming. Finally I grabbed my remote and turned on my tv, it was still probably 45 seconds before they actually disappeared. That got me thinking. I would be totally screwed if anyone did ever break into my house. I thought, well I have a glass next to my bed I could hit them on the head with that, then run for the door. Run downstairs and get outside, but would I have enough time? Probably not. I need something. I have a really big knife that I could just keep under my bed but I don't like the idea of stabbing someone. I'd rather just hit them really hard. I thought about the movie Enough and all of the precautions she took to make sure she was safe. I have nothing. I sleep nude for crying out loud. I'd be running out in the street screaming naked, I'd scare people away and not get any help! So I'm thinking of a little wooden bat. My mom and dad have one and they use it as a fish bonker but it would be the perfect size to hit someone and it's heavy enough that he should be able to knock them out pretty good. So that's my pro-active plan in case anyone ever breaks into my house. Kind of stupid that I only think of this plan 3 years after I move out on my own, but hey, now I have a plan.
