The shadow (self.dreaming)

I enter my son's room because I heard talking, meaning he isn't going to sleep.

When I go in, I find his cousin there, who won't stop laughing. I grab his arm and ask him why he is there, and I realise there is no way he could be there. I angrily yank his arm and demand he tells me how he is here, why he is here, but he just keeps laughing.

I hear ragged breathing from my son, like he is struggling to breathe or being choked, and I turn back to see his head and shoulders covered in a dark shadow. I let go of his cousin and rush towards my son, and the shadow leaps onto my face making the world completely dark.

I wake up breathing quickly.

Man I really hate when I'm trying to talk to someone in a dream and they're either straight up ignoring me or interrupting me in some way. I always feel so helpless, and trying to grab them usually doesn't work well either, like they're just tangible enough to feel them but not actually ever touch them.

And also, when something happens that should be impossible, like in this case a person being here when they shouldn't be able to, or some (unwritten) laws that everyone seems to suddenly abide by but won't tell me about.

Yeah, I often have those dreams where I'm out of place and being judged by everyone who has agreed to be wierd
