I dreamed that I was in my uncle's house with my cousin. Our families were there, but i did not see them. A little boy comes up to the front door in the middle of the night. He's asking to come in. My uncle and cousin try to talk to him, but i warn them not to open the door. He keeps insisting, and one of them ends up opening the door. They let him in, and I tell them "No! Do not let him in." I quickly grab him and bring him back outside and close the door. He is still there, trying to get in. He runs to the backyard, and I quickly run to the back to make sure the door is locked there. While I am there, someone else starts asking to come in. My uncle and cousin open the door for him, and there is thisbyoung man, who looks like the little kid's brother. He just asks if he can come inside. I ask him "Where are your father and mother? It is so late at night for you both to be outside wandering around." The young man said "This is my mother, and this is my father." He pulls out two very big knives. Then he pulls out more knives. I realize they are homeless and on the streets, but they also have lots of weapons. I ask them what do they want, and they said they just wanted to be inside. I am very scared, but I ask them if they are hungry. They said yes, they are very hungry. I then proceed to the kitchen, and I take out as much food as I can to feed them. My uncle is sitting with them, and he looks very scared. I feel terrible taking all of my uncle's food and feeding them. Suddenly it is not just the two boys, but several other people that are there. They all look like they are homeless. Some of them look very scary, while some of them look very harmless. They look like they were following the young man for protection. I am feeding all these homeless people with my uncle's food. I ask them if they not keeping their weapons on them, by to please pu them aside, so we can all be peaceful. They reluctantly agree. After the meal is over, I am worried what they will do next. I wrap the leftovers for them, and ask them what will they do next. I return their weapons to them, and they all thank me for the food. I wake up not knowing if they left te house or not. I feel like I did not complete my dream.
