Laying in a large bed in a large room with two doors on either side. My boyfriend in the dream is somebody I don’t know in real life. He tells me to keep the doors open and the fan on. This is crucial for my safety and comfort, he says. Then he leaves. There are monsters on the grounds. This I know. He didn’t tell me but I have dream omniscience. I know he is going to fight them. He wants me to be safe. Right? The sun is going down. I am not asleep. I call his ex gf for some reason. She says he used to get mad because she would keep the fans off and then get bitten by bugs. “I fucked up” she laments in a confused way. I hang up. The room is getting dark. Both doors are wide open. The room is hot. I push away my blanket but feel uneasy. Should I trust him? Is he trying to keep me safe? I get up and close both doors. I lock them. I turn off the fans. I bring the blanket into the closet and close that door too. I make a nest on the floor and settle down to sleep. I feel safer. The heat is stifling. I pray this is the right decision. But I trust myself. I do not trust him. I am not bait. Is this a mistake? The sun goes down. I lay in the corner of the dark closet and imagine monsters at the door. — A loud noise wakes me up. It is 4:30 am. I cannot reenter the dream.
