I would be fairy comfortable saying that I do not get nightmares.

Recently, a couple days ago I had a chain of disturbing dreams. I thought nothing of them, and actually do not even remember what they were, besides that they were disturbing.

Last night I had a dream which I hate myself for not realizing it was a dream, as I had many chances to become lucid.

I wonder what it meant though.

the ending is the scary part:

I was alone in my living room, and it was fairly dark outside. I noticed a couple men in my backyard. They seemed to be thieves trying to get in. They had a dog with them, who I did not really pay attention to.

One of the men was alone from the group on the other side of the yard, he resembled a history teacher I had 2 years ago, and was carrying what looked like a very old rifle.


Instinctively, I was frightened, even though in real life I would not have been because that is just the type of person I am. But nevertheless, I was scared. I headed to the alarm system, and it was already armed. So I got an idea. I would go open a door, making the alarm go off, scaring away the intruders. So I did that, and the alarm rang. I went to disarm the alarm by entering the code, but it wouldnt work. (and for some reason I was typing in my area code instead of the real code) I punched it in like 3 times, then I looked at the keypad and focused, and the numbers were changing. I tried again, and it finally worked. But the beeping noise it made, when it accepts the code, was very different than real life, and that puzzled me. But I accepted it. See how many times I missed being lucid.

Then after I shut the alarm off, I went back to the living room. The men had left but the dog that I had barely noticed before, look so insanely vicious. I cannot even find words to describe it. It was like a demon possessed the dog, and it was ramming the window trying to get in. It looked straight at me. Its teeth were showing and looked like fangs, it was barking insanely loud.

I woke up immediately knowing it was a dream, but it left me thinking "wow what the hell was that, why did I dream that?"

I hope somebody here can help me interpret it.
