Insomnia and sleepless concept. Man unable to sleep. Exhausted and tired. Covering face with hand. A

The scariest dream that I ever had, happened six months ago in my house. I was alone with my little dog and my husband was working. I woke up at 3 am as usual. I opened my eyes and I could see my bedroom with the light off perfectly. I saw the door a little bit closed, the dog was not on the bed with me and I thought that he must be sleeping in the living room. I closed my eyes and minutes later, I felt that someone opened the door really strong. I thought “it must be Gizmo” (my dog). I opened my eyes and the door was a little bit closed and the dog wasn’t there. I was confused but I decided to close my eyes again and fall asleep. Minutes later, I felt again that someone opened the door really fast, I opened my eyes quickly and there it was this horrible skull with a black suit (like the one you see in the scary movie) pointed with his hand at me. My heart started to beat really fast, my chest was hurting because I felt someone was pushing me against the bed, I wanted to yell but I couldn’t talk and I wanted to run but I couldn’t move. I was really scared. The only thing that I could do, and I did it, it was to close my eyes and start praying. As soon as I started praying, I felt better. I got up from the bed and turned the light on. I still have the feeling that it was a dream but I don’t know when I woke up to get off the bed and walk to turn on the light of the bedroom.
