I was in my house with my ex, who I live with. The house was mostly the same, except instead of the balcony and large window, there was a front door and a smaller window with a curtain partly covering it. My ex and I are standing around, when I notice a small animal running around the house. Somehow, my dream self realized it was not an ordinary animal, and I start telling my ex that we have what is called a "Daymare" in the house. The Daymare scurries around, and then runs and hides when I try to catch it. When it comes back, it is in the form of a human. It looks like a young man, smiling in a very demented way. It keeps showing up, and I am getting very frustrated about it. I didn't realize the danger it could cause. After a while, I checked the time, and realized it was 2 in the morning. I start yelling at the Daymare, telling it it had to leave, this was enough. It just kept smiling at me, looking very evil. I start to try and push it out the door, but it resists. It gets more erratic in its actions and starts to push me back, but I manage to get it out the door. I slam the door and lock it as fast as possible. I start to walk away, but it starts pounding on the door and window, trying to get inside. I walk a bit away from the door, hoping it gives up and goes away, but then I see it smiling at me from through the window. It starts banging on the window, trying to break it. At this point, I run and grab a knife from the kitchen. All the knives are dull or broken, so they won't work. But then I remember my pocket knife in my bedroom. I run and grab it real quick, and return to the living room. The door is open, and the Daymare starts to rush at me. In fear, I stab it in the temple. Then I pull the knife out, and stab the other temple, then repeatedly stab its face and chest. It dies, and then disappears. I start to think it is over, finally. I start to walk towards my bedroom, ready to go to sleep, but then I see a large rat in my hallway. I immediately realize this is also a Daymare. It runs down the hallway and into the small closet at the end of the hallway. I chase it, while it is still in rat form. I make it to the closet, and grab the rat with my hand. I start to stab it in the head repeatedly, and the tip of the knife breaks off inside of its skull. I then start crushing its head with the handle of the knife, and it shoots blood everywhere and dies. That is when I finally woke up.This dream may symbolize unresolved issues or fears related to your past relationship with your ex. The house represents your mind and the changes in its structure may reflect your changing emotions and thoughts. The small animal running around the house could represent a small problem or issue that you have been trying to ignore or avoid. However, as it transforms into a human, it may represent a bigger and more serious issue that you have been trying to suppress. The fact that it appears in the form of a demented young man may suggest that this issue is causing you distress and anxiety. Your attempts to get rid of it may reflect your desire to overcome this problem and move on. The time of 2 in the morning may symbolize a time of introspection and self-reflection. The rat in the hallway may represent another issue or fear that you have been trying to confront. Your violent actions towards it may suggest your determination to overcome this issue and eliminate it from your life. Overall, this dream may be a reflection of your subconscious mind trying to process and deal with unresolved emotions and issues from your past relationship.
