Too many doors

In my old house I only had one door to lock at night. I now have 3 doors to lock. It is a big responsibility. A couple of weeks ago I had to get up out of bed to make sure that I had locked all the doors and then I had a horrible dream that really shook me up. I dreamed that I was in bed and went to check to see if the doors were locked. When I got out in the living room, there were people in there. They were making up beds for themselves on my couch and chair. I didn't have a clue who they were. I kept trying to make them leave, but they wouldn't. Mike was in bed asleep but I couldn't call or go to him. I called 911 and it was a weird call but then I finally woke up very startled and upset. I almost had to go check all my doors again.

Here's the application of that dream. Mike came home from work tonight and told me what happened to a friend of a guy he works with. This friend had gone to Wells partying and got drunk. He made arrangements to spend the night with someone in Wells. The guy wakes up in the morning on a couch with a blanket on him and a pillow under his head. Then he starts looking around and has no idea where he is. Some guy comes and talks to him. (He had never seen this guy before.) It seems that the friend had stumbled into some guys house during the night. The guy woke up and saw him on his couch and got him a pillow and blanket. The next morning the guy gave him a hat to cover up his bad hair and they visited over a couple cups of coffee before the intruder was sent on his way.

See my dream was not so far fetched. That guy was lucky to have not been beat up or had the cops called on him or something.

I think I will keep my doors locked.

You are having dreams like me! That is why we built a wooden fence around our property instead of the chain link one I dreamt about and Nathan/Sammy (I couldn't tell who because they looked alike as small kids) was abducted over it because he was lured over there by a stranger! I'd lock the doors! :-)
