i noticed i have been having recurring dreams again. last night or maybe it was early morning when i had this dream, i dreamt i was in our old apartment. i was looking out the windows. i think it was dusk outside. anyway it was late in the afternoon. a man suddenly appeared in my line of vision - like he just materialized there with his back to me. i was inside the house and i could see him from the first floor window. i knew he was gonna turn to look at me and i felt instant terror at that and as he was turning to look at me i started praying the prayer to my guardian angel. at the same time i was calling his name over and over and over again. i saw his face. he looked like a man but his eyes had a scary look that really haunts me. totally creeped me out. i closed my eyes. i knew he was still looking at me. i was on the floor my two hands were covering my eyes so it was nothing but blackness for me. i knew that he was looking at me and i knew that my guardian angel was there with me because i don't feel the usual heaviness that i ususally feel when these things/dreams happen to me. like i couldn't move - a roar loud roar i could hear. and since the prayer to your guardian angel is pretty short, i was repeating it over and over and over and over and over again. while at the back of my mind i was repeating my guardian angel's name. i know they were fighting. how do i know? i had dreamt of a similar scenario before. i have forgotten all about it till i had this dream last night.
