I remember being so scared of a nightmare that I was almost convinced that my family was dead

so when I was like 13 I remember sleeping with my parents on their bed (yea I used to do that so sue me)

It was one of those dreams I had where I actually remembered the crux of it even if not fully. At first it was a bunch of rat pirates getting clocked by the ocean (I think I remember there being velvet theatre curtains draped to the sides as if it were being shown on theatre but I remember looking at it directly, it’s kinda like when you hover on gmod and focus on one thing)

then after that it was as though I was in a shopping mall or a depertment store but it was in 3rd-person and I’m agent 47 from the recent Hitman trilogy, I (maybe I’m just just overcompensating but I’m pretty sure that this segment of the dream even played like the game idk).

anyhow I’m then inside the bathroom outside my parents’ bedroom and it was pitch dark, I was sitting on the toilet but I wasn’t moving. I don’t know how I knew this but I knew that my parents were sleeping in their room and that there’s a man in the room with a gun.

i didn‘t know what to do and I don’t think I remembered what I thought but I knew that if I alerted the man then he would kill them, it was a while but I rushed downstairs to the kitchen and grabbed a knife, I don’t know what happened after that I vaguely remember remember rushing up the stairs.

when I woke up, I was facing the wall and I was so scared that when I looked behind me that I’d be greeted with the corpses of my mom and dad

obv everything was alright in the end but it was still pretty scary
