Humanoid

Funny how something so simple can be so terrifyingly creepy. Dream: I arrived at my mom's house. As I walked to the front porch I could see some odd looking footprints in the dirt. I looked at them closer. They were humanoid and slightly smaller than my feet. I could see the toes clearly. The second two toes were longer than the big toe and had what looked like claws or long toenails that made an impression in the dirt above the toe. I thought they were so strange that I took a picture of them with my phone. At about that same time I got an email from my science teacher (<PERSON>) who sent me a very similar picture. He said that prints like these were thought to belong to a mysterious, paranormal animal somewhat like a bigfoot. Hearing that made me nervous and I rushed into the house. I told my mom about the footprints and took her outside to look at them. We were both unnerved that they were so close to the house and right by the front door. That night I could hardly sleep because I was so afraid of that creature that could be right outside the house. I was thankful that the doors were locked. The next day I told my friend <PERSON> about the prints. I showed her the pictures and what was left of the real prints (by that time they had gotten stepped on and were partially destroyed). Then it was evening again (I had been distracted by some horses that had gotten loose and were running up and down the street, but they were now gone.) My mom's house was now my childhood house and not her current house. I looked out the door. I could see that there was a forest up the street where there were normally houses. I saw an elk and a smaller deer. Suddenly I was terribly afraid. I knew that creature could be right behind any tree. I saw my mom out in the yard. I did not want her to be there. Something could happen to her. I started yelling for her to come in. She did not seem to her. I felt even more terrified. I yelled again.and again, feeling more frantic every second. Suddenly I woke up and it took a few minutes to settle down. I wondered how I would be feeling if I had woken up and had been camping outside. I knew I would be really freaked out.
