Intruder
Intruders, Someone in the house, Home invasion
Hearing someone in the house who shouldn't be there ranks among the most unsettling dream scenes. Home is where you're meant to rest, so an intruder dream often comes when you can't fully switch off and stay on watch even there. How you reacted matters most. Hiding from the intruder suggests you're waiting for trouble to pass on its own, while facing it means you're prepared to stand up for your home life.
