something that has become a habit (well sort of, but not really)

so last night i had this dream that i've had a few times before. and i always wake up thinking it's just one of the weirdest dreams. partly because i apparently go crazy in this dream. my family, along with some other older gentleman, who is apparently a family friend or something. i don't know, but he lives with us. and my family isn't my actual family. a different family. the basic gist of the dream is we are trying to secure our house so people can't get in and harm us (i think it's like the nazi's or someother group along those lines). and so we lock all the doors and stuff like that, but they somehow keep getting unlocked. like someone in the house is wanting to let the bad guys in. and it always turns out (i think) that it was the old guy who is doing it. and there is some ribbon of like a grey color you can put on your door handle and you will be safe, but if you put a red one, then you are just doomed. and our grey one keeps getting replaced with a red one as well. so here's where i "go crazy" in the dream. i replace the red ribbon with our grey one, after figuring out it is the old guy, and close and lock the front door. i tell my family we need to lock the rest of the doors, and ask where the old guy is, cause he's the one doing this. they then tell me he died a month ago, and that that whole day (which was like a month ago) went fine cause in the end we got our grey ribbon out there, so they just passed by our house. and then i'm left standing there saying how i'm going crazy, cause i've just been living out that day, and don't remember anything from the last month. it's so weird.
