I have a mechanism I use in dreams when I feel ‘threatened.’<\/p>\n
I start hitting things. What this means is open handed smacks of walls, furniture, etc. To note if I feel sensation.
\nUsually that’s enough to help draw me out of the dream.<\/p>\n
I had to do this last night. Typical dream.. weirdness. Strange twisty hotel\/parking area\/etc…<\/p>\n
Then there was this guy. I just got a tonne of feelings that said, “You’re not supposed to be here.”<\/p>\n
He sort of looked like Mark Gattis as the young Lazarus in Doctor Who.<\/p>\n
I started hitting things and eventually thought I’d woken up. I’d really just moved to another part of the dream.<\/p>\n
Later he came back. The moment I noticed him, he went from trying to be inconspicuous to coming at me. <\/p>\n
There were 2 or 3 bad karate moves between us. I tried to push him away with my mind. That failed. Then he leaned into me like he was going to take a bite out of my stomach.<\/p>\n
I mentally pushed him away and he dissolved away like an impressive computer effect. I woke up.<\/p>\n
Strange dream. Strange person. Odd because I remember (though it’s fading) the face. And above all else, the distinct feeling of “You don’t belong here.”<\/p>\n
Odd. But then again.. I probably shouldn’t watch Torchwood right before bed.<\/p>\n
