Dream
In my dream, I had woken up at about 9pm on the couch after falling asleep while watching tv. I tried to turn the lights on, but nothing happened when I flipped the switch. At first I assumed the light bulb had died. So I went to turn on a different light, and still nothing. That’s when I realized the power must had gone out while I was asleep. But then I realized the tv I had fallen asleep watching was still on and playing a show about true scary stories. I got an eerie feeling, and I tried to calll my partner, Nick, who was at work still. He works second shift, and wasn’t due to return home until about 11:30. But my phone wouldn’t make any calls. Then I looked up and noticed there were three end tables balanced on TOP of the entertainment center where the tv was. That’s when I knew that it was a haunting. I immediately got scared for my young daughter who had been asleep in her bedroom, and ran to go check on her. Her door locks from the outside so that she could never lock herself in, but when I went to open her door, it wouldn’t budge. I really started to panic at this point, but I knew that giving in to fear would only escalate the situation, so I tried to remain as calm as possible. She wasn’t crying, so I assumed she was still asleep. That was one relief anyways. I eventually got access to her bedroom, and when I got in there I noticed this very large and heavy empty picture frame just hanging off the wall as if it were about to fall down, which would really hurt my daughter. That really scared me, and I was now worried for my daughters safety. When my boyfriend finally got home, I showed him all of the anomalies I had observed in our home. He quickly came to the same conclusion that I did about the place being haunted, but he reacted with anger and started to yell at whatever entity had done this while also starting to angrily take the misplaced furniture down from the top of the entertainment center. I got nervous and told him to not antagonize the spirit that had done this in fear that it would retaliate. I told him we needed to go check on Winnie, and when we did she was still sleeping safely and soundly. Then we went back to the living room, and he tried to turn on the lights. On the first try nothing happened, but then he tried a second time, and the lights all came on as if nothing ever happened. Next he tried the phone, and that had started working again too. That’s when I was awoken from my sleep in real life by my daughter screaming for me. I was completely drenched in sweat to the point where I had to change my pajamas because they were so wet from sweat.
