Ok, here’s the thing. I don’t remember many dreams from a week ago but to this date I still remember waking up as a kid in the early 90’s and looking down the stairs and seeing two people in period clothes standing at the bottom of the stairs. We lived in a house from the 1800s so it checked out; and given that I genuinely felt a force when I tried to close the basement door, I believe they were basically standing guard between the cellar door and me protecting me.
