Scary Dream

I don’t have scary dreams often and I am fairly level headed when it comes to dreams. I can usually find an explanation for a weird dream. But this one I am not so sure of. I think I know what it could mean but it upset me quite a bit. I hope I can explain what I felt in words, so that you can experience it properly.

 

I fell asleep while there was a rerun of one of the X-men movies showing on tv and this might have influenced my dream. What I remember is being in a car at night, it is dark and every sound is exaggerated because it is very quiet. There is someone in the backseat of the car. I don’t know who it is, I just have a feeling it is a young person, almost like a teenager which I am protecting. I am sitting in the front seat on the left side (or passenger side) of the car and the driver’s side door is ajar.

 

 The car is moving and I lean over and urge someone running next to the car to get in because I fear for their safety. This is so weird because who is driving if the driver’s seat is empty? Anyway the next thing that sends chills down my spine and made my heart pound in my sleep was the sound of shoes scrapping on tarmac ...

 

I dream I lean over again and look alongside the car to see the person’s feet scrapping in a forward motion along the tarmac as if his body is elevated and possessed and in an unnatural pose. I immediately think it is the vampires chasing us which have hypnotised this person and if this person came into the car we would be in danger.

 

In the dream I quickly close the car door and lock it and a feeling of terrible guilt comes over me for not being able to save this person from the vampires.

 

I woke after that but the feeling of concern was so strong that I felt upset and the people in the dream don’t even exist in real life.

Uninvited visitor.

Our dog is a very good little dog. He does not stand at the gate and bark aimlessly like most of our neighbours’ dogs. Last weekend I heard a few strange little barks from him and then I could hear him running around. The sounds were different than usual and I decided to investigate.

I was extremely surprise to see another dog in the backyard with him. Luckily there was a lot of tail wagging and sniffing going on and no fighting.

When we adopted our stray dog he was scared of people and we got the impression that someone had maltreated him. So we never got him a mate thinking that he would be too aggressive.

The puzzle was; how did another dog get into our yard? I went to the back door and the dog saw me and ran. By the time I was outside he had vanished.

About 20 minutes later the strange dog was back. I was determined to find out how this dog was able to enter our yard. I went to a window where I can see the gate and was just in time to see the fox terrier come and hook his forearms over the crossbars and push up with his hind legs, hook his forearms on a higher cross bar, push himself up with his hind legs until he reached the top of our very high gate and then he positioned himself on top of the gate and leaped and landed awkwardly.

I was very annoyed. I don’t want strange dogs in our yard and perhaps teaching our good dog to do naughty things. What if the dog broke a leg when landing from his leap from the gate?

We tied a piece of metal grid to the gate and the dog was not able to hook his arms through anymore. If I had not seen it with my own eyes I would not have believed that a little dog can climb that high.

We asked the neighbours and no one could tell us who the owners of the fox terrier were.

Flowers in winter.





White single Camellia.

The huge trees have lost their leaves but the beautiful cream blooms of the Camellia enjoy the early morning sunshine.

Pink double Camellia.

The first lovely bloom on this young Camellia bush. I have waited 3 years for it to flower.



It is winter time and there are still some lovely flowers in the garden. A bee enjoys the flowers on the rosemary bush.
