The dream wasn’t even that intense, as dreams go.
In the dream, I was lying on my living room sofa (I was actually sleeping in bed though, not on the sofa). In real life there is a window directly behind the sofa. In my dream the window had morphed into a narrow horizontal transom about 5 feet up. I looked up from the sofa and saw the heads of two people in ninja hoods looking down at me. Surprised but not really alarmed, I made a “go away” gesture with my hand, like swatting away gnats. But instead of going away, one of the ninjas began to climb through the window. At this point I jumped to my feet and yelled “Get out of here!”
This last action corresponded with my real-life self sitting upright in bed and letting out a very high-pitched scream that I think sounded something like “Geouoeeeee!!!” It woke my wife up, but after confirming I was OK she slipped back into her own dreams. I, however, never did get back to sleep, and spent the next hour and a half lying there waiting for the alarm clock. So now I’m tired and my throat kind of hurts.
Nice way to start the day.
