Dreams.

A huge bear broke into my apartment and lay down on my bed. I fed it and scratched it behind the ears, and it put its 150 kg head on me and fell asleep. I sat like that for a while and then woke up. After about four hours, I decided to get rid of it and went back to sleep, hoping to continue my rest. I did, and in my dream, I watched a little TV at a low volume so as not to wake it up too early, and then I got up, threw open the apartment door, the entryway door (and wedged it with a piece of loose tile), and the door to the stairwell. Smells of someone cooking wafted from there, and I realized that this would help me lure it out. My right ear was hurting, and I touched it and saw that it was swollen, like with otitis. I could also hear snippets of conversations from neighboring apartments and other sounds from the hallway, but that was no longer my problem; my only concern was to get the wild animal out. I wanted to go back inside, but I heard and saw it growling and coming out of my door. I ran to another floor to take the elevator down to my floor when it came out onto the stairs. And... I hope I succeeded, and tonight, when I go to sleep again, I won't suddenly find myself face to face with this ferocious beast. Besides, when I woke up, I touched my ear and was relieved to find that it was okay.
