A Horror Movie Dream

I am shopping in a WalMart at a stormy night with Bryan Hill, Erik and Trey Helwig, and Eileen Townsend. Erik and I and Trey (from left to right) sit down on the couch and watch something I believe, though I am not sure what is on the other end. Bryan is browsing produce or dvds or something in a bin. A man sits down to Trey's right and talks to us for a while. He is probably in his twenty's, dressed in a light blue something or other t-shirt and looking not TOO hip. He suddenly grabs Trey's arm and stabs and saws and cuts to the bone near his wrist, and fiercely starts telling us about how it feels, because it happened to him somehow. We are all scared and really pissed and security comes and puts him in the place where they keep shoplifters until the police come, which was that same couch, incidentally. I run out into the street and meet up with Eileen, and then my parents are here and we are in a hotel room very high, looking down on the window opening onto the couch in Walmart, a big sheet of plate glass window. We are looking at the things he has with binoculars, and noticing something or other, and I turn to say to Dad, look at the things he has, and he comes and does and the couch is now on the same level we are. I say "Weren't we in a very high room?" and then the man is not on the couch and there is a knock on the door. Chills my spine sends down it and I wake.

I hear the same knock on my door, Lety, my host mother, waking me for school.
