In my dream, a friend was staying over, and that friend was in my bed. It was a female friend and we had no sexual relations, but likely just hung out and fell asleep. The room layout was different and the door location was different and the whole apartment setting was not what I currently live in. I (we?) feared for our safety, so I was on alert for any noises. A bang woke me up in my dream's sleep, and I sensed a stranger in the home. I feigned sleep. I saw a man lurking in the shadows in the next room. Suddenly, this man, up to no good, was in my room on my side of the bed. He put his hand by my side and I grabbed his finger, distorting and bending it to the point of eliciting pain upon him, but he made no noise. I was afraid of being raped and murdered. My friend was still sound asleep. I was so frightened by the experience, I woke myself up to confirm it really was just a dream. I lay in bed, fearful and relieved, until my alarm rang to get up for work.
