I had a dream and everything in my childhood home was exactly the same. It started with my brother Caleb and I falling asleep in the living room to a movie extremely late at night and I was eating pancake’s and Oreo ice cream , he wanted some so I gave him some and he fell asleep before me, as I was about to go to bed I went to the kitchen to put the fork in the sink and throw away the trash I had just created, there is a toy room directly across from where I was looking with a half wall and I had seen the top part of a head just barely walk across the half wall, I woke Caleb up and told him someone is in the house so we go to look, opened the narrow hallway garage/washer room that is linked to the toy room and we didn’t see anything. As we were making our way back to the living room I noticed the attic entrance was slightly pushed up in one corner and told him to look up, that’s when he and I start hearing demonic growls but it was also a saddened howl as well. I was freaking out and ran to my mom and woke her up but couldn’t explain bc of the amount of fear I was in, I remember saying someone’s in the house but couldn’t describe it or say where because I was in shock and fear. My mom came out and disregarded it, I woke up my brother Triston and he came out to the wall separating from the ceiling like the creature was lifting up the roof. The growling becoming more and more clear, the roof was lifted enough for me to visibly be able to see light in the attic from the living room, the creature was brownish tan, stood up right at 4 feet tall but also had legs like a goat and feet like a dog , had horn bumps on his head and resembled a dog in a way, I got everyone to get up and grab there shit saying that we need to leave right away. Caleb ran out in front of me and that’s when the creature moved faster than light lunging at the window to try and grab him. I was standing next to the front door and grabbed the creature by the feet and started swinging back and forth slamming it into the window and wall like a rag doll. As everyone got out to the car it was just my brother Triston and I left inside. And we both ran out and drove out of there as fast as possible. We skipped town and it didn’t follow us. I guess I woke up at this point and fell back asleep but as I started dreaming again I was back in the house but it was just my sister and I, except she seemed older or perhaps it wasn’t my sister but someone else. It was toying with us and had a gun etc I got shot once and was able to get ahold of the gun and was scrambling to reload it after firing off rounds and only had two left in the mag, I grabbed a couple knifes that I have seen before from an unrelated dream in the past. It was outside trying to saw the door down and I kept locking each lock every time he got through one of them to buy us time. The woman and I were able to get outside and start running down the street which is where I shot it once in the back. As we tried to make it to a bus and get out of town a blue old school hippy van that said bus on it picked us up but something was off and I could tell so much so that I stood in front of it and bashed the windshield in, it seemed like the beast had gotten to everyone in the city and they were all helping him. We eventually said screw it and got on when we noticed the lady bus driver was taking up back to the house so I threw her out where she got crushed by the wheel and started flooring it out of town and that’s when I woke up. I had an estranged eerie feeling throughout the dream.
