Last night I had this dream that I was in this large house getting ready for the end of the night. Before I went to be I needed to make sure all the doors and windows were locked, all the lights turned out.
I went from room to room locking door and door, closing the window shades, turning off the lights. Some of the switches would turn on more lights, others would turn them off.
As soon as I realized one door was closed I'd find another unlocked or completely open, swinging in the wind. Shutter and shutter needed to be closed. I went from room to room growing more and more afraid of open doors and windows and lights and how dark it was outside.
I was suddenly stuck in a maze of locked doors, needing to be behind the most locked door to protect me. To stop whatever was out there from getting me.
And then I realized.
I realized I was locking it in.
Locking it in with me.
