February 14 night

Date: 2/16/2019

I think I had a nightmare for the first time in a really long time. I dreamed there was a thief in the house. I was sitting on the couch closest to the large window reading a book. All of a sudden, I saw in the corner of my eye a person in black snaking his way over the other couch in the same way like a skink walks to where my little sister was sitting in the entry way on the tiles. The thief started attacking her, and I threw my book and ran towards them. I threw all my weight through my knees on the attacker and knocked him off her. I comforted her and during the second part of my dream when I got back to sleep there was a big search for him in the basement. In between the dreams I woke up sweating under my blanket with the heater on in my room, but I felt like I couldn’t move because it seemed so real and I was terrified that I might be attacked if I moved. I eventually did move but I probably laid there with my eyes trying to see through the dark for 20 minutes.
