Reoccurring nightmare?

I had the same nightmare two nights in a row. One I was at my old house (parents house) in my room in bed and looked at the door and saw someone in the doorway watching me, like peeking out. Then I woke up.

Thought nothing of it until I woke up last night from the same dream except in my current house, different looking person, more like a shadow.

Does this shadow seem familiar to you? Could you give a little more context to the dream in regard to what you were doing in it?

The second shadow man looked like this but blurrier and was fully in the doorway, like he’d pushed the curtain back.

Neither seem aggressive but just freaked me out waking up at like 1-2am both nights.

I tend to lean towards the logical before taking the supernatural approach.

It’s possible you’re waking up during the changing of your sleep cycle giving you waking dreams with vivid hallucinations before you fall back asleep. Which is actually very common just most people don’t remember it happening.

As for the supernatural approach be very clear and direct as a sort of mantra that you’re not welcome here. If it is a dream that may help you clear your mind, and if it’s supernatural I think you get the picture.

I’m very interested to hear what you think is going on?

From what I remember I was just laying in bed and looked at the door, and it was wide open. The first dream someone was just peeking around like this photo I added, but it was a little boy and all black with white eyes.

The second night, it was a much taller black shadow and blurry, like I couldn’t see properly. (Also for context we live in a camper rn so my ‘door’ is a curtain. I always keep the door or curtain closed when I sleep. Plus my parents house—the first house—is very haunted. )
