Had a dream about "this man"

So the man I spoke of in my last blog might very well have appeared in my dream. I fell back to sleep shortly after blogging and the dream I had was very vague, short, and, well...dreamlike. It lacked a lot of those realistic qualities I usually have in my dreams but that may have something to do with me being already well rested and having dreamed like three times already last night.

In the dream, there was someone dangerous in my basement. My family was gathered around in the living room and the only thing I thought I could do was protect myself. When he came up the stairs, I grabbed a handful of knives from the drawers in the kitchen (our house is extremely small, so the kitchen is pretty much a part of the living room and vice-versa). I threw the knives at the man and one even hit him in a good spot and went in deep, but he still stood there smiling creepily. Then I awoke.

See, this is what I'm talking about. It's super simple to inject a face into your dreams if you want to. Simply seeing the photo caused my own brain to focus on making a dream involving the face and a scenario in which it would be the main focus. So it'd be just as easy for someone to convince themselves they saw him in their dreams when really it was just another generic and faceless dream person.
