I haven't thought of it, the way you just explained it. This makes sense.
I will tell you of a dream that I had a couple of years ago.
In the dream, I woke up in a hospital bed. My spouse and my youngest daughter were in the hospital bed with me.
The room was dark, with the only light being the light that was shining from the moonlight, through the window. I looked towards the foot of the bed, I saw a demon standing there. He was wearing a black, hooded robe. His skin was so white. The moonlight was shining onto the demons face. I thought the demon was there to kill me.
I looked down, at my body, I was wearing a hospital gown, and my left breast was exposed. I noticed the demon saw this, at the same time that I saw this. The demon walked over, and touched my breast with his fingernails (which were claw like nails). His face changed from angry, to a different, calmer look, as he did this.
The next thing that happened was, the demon took off. I followed him. He was in the air, hovering over a car that was driving on a 2 lane highway. There was a man and a woman in the car. I knew the demon was going to harm them.
Suddenly, I was back at the hospital room, in the bed. The room was still dark, and I had to use the restroom so badly, so I woke my spouse and told him to 'watch for me' as I walked through the darkness of the room, to the restroom. He said he would watch. So I got up, walked into the restroom, and I left the door cracked open. I looked through the crack of the door, I could see that he had fallen asleep. I thought to myself 'he's supposed to be watching for me, yet he's sleeping'. Then I woke up.
