I was alone at home at night, trying to lock my doors, but they kept re-opening. When re-locking my doors, a man with a knife jumped at me from the other side, trying to take me away saying that he is a good boy. I struck him and ran inside, taking the longer path to make sure he is not following me, and locking the doors as I go to the other side of the house. On the other side, once the doors were locked, I called the police and waited for family to pick me up
This dream may symbolize feelings of vulnerability and the struggle to protect yourself or maintain your safety in certain situations. The act of attempting to lock your doors that keep re-opening suggests that you are experiencing a sense of insecurity or lack of control in your waking life. The sudden appearance of the man with a knife represents the presence of danger or a threat that you may feel is lurking around you.
The man's claim to be a "good boy" could indicate a deceptive or manipulative nature, potentially reflecting feelings of distrust or fear towards others. Striking the man and running inside demonstrates your instinct to defend yourself and seek safety. Taking the longer path to ensure he is not following you reflects your cautiousness and desire to distance yourself from harm.
Calling the police and waiting for your family to pick you up suggest a need for outside assistance and support to deal with the situation. This dream may indicate a need to address feelings of vulnerability and seek help or guidance when facing challenging circumstances in your waking life.
