CITY OF LIGHT

The dreamer reported a tremendous feeling of fear in this dream:

Three old men got into my [apartment] under false pretenses (saying that they were delivering a package) or they actually broke in. They were shabbily dressed and looked like hobos. They were small and they dropped off a package and then walked down the hallway looking in all the rooms. I was absolutely petrified and unable to speak. I tried to yell but nothing came out. I broke a glass, thinking I could use it as a weapon, and walked down the hall. They left and I [telephoned] the police so that they could be caught.

I then opened the package that the old men had left behind, and while I was talking to the police, I saw that the package was in fact for me. There was a letter, but I didn't look at it. I was curious but still very frightened and suspicious to see what was inside. The first thing I saw was flowers. Then there were three gifts, beautifully wrapped in lovely paper. I opened one, but I think it had even lovelier wrapping paper inside. I was still frightened about the old men. The dream ended before I could see what the gifts were or who wrote the note.
