I dreamed that my wife and I had gone to visit a friend of ours who had just bought a new house.
We were given a room that was in the ground floor that had a back stairs that went up to a bedroom on the second floor.
We tried to go to sleep, but the back doorway to the stairs kept opening and the light from the stairway shining in on us.
I kept getting up and pulling the door closed, but a short time later, it would open up again.
The noise of this woke our hosts who knocked on the front door to the bed room and asked it all was OK.
I explained the problem.
"Oh, I hoped they’d leave you alone," our host said.
"They?"
"A family was murdered in the room above you. Their bodies were brought down the back stairs to this room."
"This room where we’re sleeping?"
"Yes, and I guess they like to keep the doors open. Maybe you could talk with them."
I went to the back stair way and looked up through the blue light that filled it.
"Look, we’re just trying to sleep," I said. "And opening the door shines the light in and makes it hard."
There was no obvious answer, so I tried to concentrate on the idea of them staying upstairs.
The door slammed in the face.
The door behind me slammed as well, trapping me in the small section between the bedroom and stairs.
It was very dark in that section, but I did not feel I was alone.
"I don’t want to fight," I said. "I’m just trying to get some sleep."
I pulled open the door back to your bedroom, and it was yanked closed in front of me again.
Dream ends.
I have no idea what brought on this dream. I haven’t watched anything about ghosts. Don’t know anyone who bought a new house lately. Haven’t had any problems with ghosts running about our place lately.
I did wake up with my pulse elevated and have had trouble getting back to sleep.
It's about 3AM now. I guess I'll try again.
