Had really terrifying nightmare, was in my old room at my parent’s house, discussing which window we’d (me and husband) would jump from in case of emergency, because there is no fire exit. I said the one facing the swamp, he said the one facing the side yard, which had a strange fortified trench in it . Then we were outside looking at the house from the backyard, the back side of the roof was open like a doll’s house/and entire back wall was missing. We were discussing how we’d escape other rooms in case of emergency, I said the attic window. D said that’s terrifying. I said there’s an entire wall missing and like it’s fine. Then I was walking up the attic stairs and the blue ceramic Santa, a Christmas decoration from my childhood, was there (it was empty aside from this), which I recalled seeing in the basement earlier also in dream logic fashion it had grown to human size. I began to be afraid. I ran down the stairs running down one flight into a storage area where several more of the santas had appeared and finally to the safety of the ground floor but to my horror I realized it was not my parent’s house but a doll house with doll parents. Then there was an evil porcelain doll that I found in the book filled living room which then moved to my doll father’s room and killed him, then I woke up. Themes of gothic style familial decay, woke up so terrified I’m afraid to leave my bed, called husband (he’d forgotten his phone and my parents home phone to get someone to talk to me because I dread going downstairs alone. No one is home and the dogs will not stop barkng)
