I heard the bells, it sounded like a toy that’s batteries were running low. Peeking through the blinds I saw the ice cream truck going by. Oddly the driver wasn’t the same, he had sandy blonde hair and much stronger jaw than the Hispanic who usually ran the street. We made brief eye contact and the hair on the back of my neck stood up. Pointing to the signs of the different flavors he beckoned for me to open the door. I shook my head, he gave me the creeps and I’m lactose intolerant, the door wasn’t going to budge. I flipped the blind back down and began to cross the living room floor, suddenly hearing a knock on the glass of our door. Making my way back to the door an uneasy feeling began to creep up my spine and into the pit of my stomach. I flipped the blind up again, and the ice cream man was standing there. I shook my head again and began to flip the blind when suddenly he began to hit the glass so hard it began to crack. I screamed at him, telling him I had a gun and was going to call the police. Running blindly into my room-mate’s room I frantically searched for her gun. Unable to find it I grabbed the phone and held the butt of it in my hand facing the door. My heart was racing and I prayed silently he would believe I had a weapon. I rounded the corner to see his shadow was no longer casting on the door. Breathing a silent sigh of relief, I walked back into my room and collapsed on the bed.
I woke with a start, it was night and a strange noise was coming from the front room. I glanced into my room-mate’s room to see she was sound asleep. Tilting my head I saw the man standing in front of our door again, he began to punch a hole in the door successfully causing a hole large enough he could fit his hand through to fidget with the lock. I shook my room-mate, trying to scream but no sound would come out. I continued to try to wake her to no avail, she slept through my failed attempts. Feverishly searching for the gun again, I looked up to see the man standing in the hallway. The look in his eyes reminded me of Manson. He looked crazed and blood trickled down his fingers as he grabbed me by the throat and began to drag me out of the house. I grabbed the door jam and tried to knock things off of my room-mate’s dresser to wake her to help me. The overwhelming feeling of doom began to consume me and I began to fight him. I kicked and stomped as hard as I could. Finally getting free, I ran to the neighbor’s house. Knocking and screaming for help as loud as I could. No one would come to the door, I screamed louder and beat the glass window until it shattered. Still no answer. Suddenly his hands enclosed my neck again and I closed my eyes knowing that was it. I knew I was going to die.
I blinked as I looked around my office. The sound of gunshots echoed throughout the building, I stood up to see the IT guy running towards our cubicles. Both of us hit the ground. Cowering underneath my desk. I looked up to see Akhim* holding an AK-47 directly at my head. He demanded for me to stand up, and continued to train the gun on my head as I lead him to the front lobby. I glanced around the office to see if anyone could help me. But I found everyone working, as usual. I burst into tears as we passed through the double doors.
And then I woke up, fear spread through my chest and I was crying so hard I couldn’t breathe. That is the most terrifying dream I’ve ever had.
I decided to look up the meaning to the dream here.
Help- to dream that you are calling or signaling for help, suggest that you are feeling lost, overwhelmed, and/or inadequate.
Helpless- to dream that you are or feel helpless, suggests that you are experiencing difficulties in confronting a situation or relationship. You feel that you are unable to take charge of yourself.
People- to see people you know in your dream, signifies quailites and feelings of those people that you desire for yourself
To see people from your past in your dream, refers to your shadow and other unacknowledged aspects of yourself. It can represent a waking situation that is bringing out similar feelings as your past relationships.
Scared- to dream that you are scared, indicates that you are experiencing self-doubt and feelings of incompetence. You may be feeling a lack of control. Anger often masquerades as fear, so also consider issues about which you are angry about in your waking life.
Scream-to dream that you are screaming, symbolizes anger and fear. It is an expression of your powerful emotions which you have kept pent up inside.
If you try to scream, but no sound comes out, then it suggests that you need to immediately confront some situation. Perhaps you are unable to pinpoint your fears or feelings.
Attack-to dream you are being attacked by someone, signifies questions on your character and the need for you to defend yourself. You are feeling stressed, vulnerable and helpless. You may also be faced with a difficult change in your waking life.
Glass- to see broken in your dream, signifies a change in your life. You will find that a situation will come to an abrupt and untimely end.
God, help me. I hope I never have to feel that horror, even in a dream, again.
Much Love,
K
*Akhim- Not his real name, used to stalk me a few years ago. I’ve made numerous reports and recently had him transferred after he found out I work where I do now. He even followed me home one day, I had to call my roomie and she called Mim’s husband (and we had JUST met them) because he followed me for a solid 20 mins.
