Rude Awakening

Last night, I was having a pretty interesting dream. Doing matrix kung-fu stuff and petting a dog that was sniffing my jacket. Then I suddenly wake up, getting poked twice in my thigh. Thinking it was my Dad annoyingly waking me before going to work, I got up and said "What, what?" Then I opened my eyes, to find an old man standing beside my bed. I didn't have my glasses so he seemed a bit blurry, but he was hunched badly and seemed to be wearing either a police or military uniform. Then seconds later, he vanished. I plopped back down and hid under my covers, trying to get back to sleep and get what I just saw off my mind. I then got very very cold and started to sweat, that didn't help very much. Woke up in the morning, ran out of my room and avoided it for the rest of the day up until an hour ago. While I've been sitting here, however, I saw a shadow move quickly behind me in the reflection of my glasses, and then again a few moments later casting a fast shadow on the wall. It's still here, whatever it is.

Well, I might not be sleeping in my room tonight.
