Someone at the foot of the bed, and I was not frightened
27 July 2026
Same as always: awake, pinned, figure at the end of the bed. This time I remember thinking, fine, do what you like. It went when the heating came on. First time in years I have not spent the next hour with the light on.

Mine changed the same way about a year in. Same figure, same spot, and at some point it stopped being the main event and became something that happens while I wait for the heating.
Before you respond
- No diagnosing. Not their mental health, not their relationship, not their body.
- No certainty. "This might connect to…" rather than "this means…"
- Nothing that predicts a death, an illness or a disaster. Ever.
- No encouraging paranoia about someone in the dreamer's life.
- Say which tradition you are drawing on, if you are drawing on one.
- Content warnings on anything graphic.
- Personal belief is welcome. Personal belief presented as established fact is not.
Dream interpretation is subjective. Nothing here is a diagnosis, a prediction, or medical advice.
