Sort of nightmare

Date: 8/22/2019

I’ve had this kind of dream before, but never the same. I was downstairs in my bathroom cleaning, (scraping paper off of our drawers/toilet, probably my brain working through my past summer job at a paper mill) when (in my dream) I started to think about when I was a kid I would convince myself a monster was watching me. I played it off how I would in the waking world, (this isn’t real life, monsters don’t exists yadda yadda) but the more I thought about it, the more I convinced myself something was really there. Eventually, I launched my fist at whatever could have been there, but didn’t manage to turn fully around before it felt like I was falling and ended up back in my bed. I’ve never had the same dream before, but I wasn’t deep asleep, so the reason I might not have been able to turn around is because I was physically trying to do it. However, when I woke up, I had the same feeling of dread that I get from similar dreams.
