I felt someone tap me on the shoulder—one time of two quick taps. It was so real that it seemed I physically felt it, as if it was happening in real life, and in my dream I expected to wake up to see someone in the room with me.
Instead I felt something before I saw it. There was something kinda cradled in the curve of my body as I lay on my side in a semi-fetal position which is how I actually most often sleep. It was spinning against my stomach. I didn’t know what it was but I was terrified.
I raised the covers to see what it was I was surprised to see that it was something mechanical, instead of something alive like I had expected-- some kinda animal/small monsterish thing.
Surprise was barely noticeable because the horror was so intense, although there was nothing particularly horrifying about the object per se.
It was some kinda hard material like metal, I think it was metal but it didn’t feel cold. It was conical with something like a rounded part or plug that fit precisely into the large end of the cone.
It was spinning length-wise against me, it was not drilling into me with the tip of the cone. It was not causing any physical pain.
But I was absolutely terrified, so much so that in my dream I started willing myself to wake up WAKEUPWAKEUPWAKEUP and I woke up and heard myself actually screaming, not real loudly but I was screaming.
When I got over the shock I wondered what was that thing what did it look like? And the word “bomb” popped into my head.
