  1. I had a dream lastnight with clowns, My aunt (which in real life we haven’t spoken in 3 years) was going to buy a home on the water, when i went to see it i thought i was beautiful until i saw the waves of the ocean hitting the home and the house would then shake and tilt over. I kept telling her the home was dangerous and not to buy it but she kept insisting that she will buy it. The waves came in stronger and stronger at this point the home narrows out and its rocking so hard that I’m literally in the air and the water is coming in from the windows almost drowning us. After a few rocks the home stabilizes again. I told her then again it was not a good idea to buy this home, it’s very dangerous!! She told us to all spend the night to see how the home and location was during the night, i didn’t want to but then my dream suddenly changed to the night. I knew i wasn’t alone in the home but at this point in my dream i can only see myself. I heard like someone trying to break in from all entrances of the home (They must of been 3-4 way to get in) I went to the nearest one and looked out the window only to hear giggling and when i looked it was two clowns picking the locks trying to break in the home, i was scared because they looked evil as if they was going to do harm. At this point i had my two year old in my arms by my hip and i was walking back trying to get away, now as i am walking passed the rooms the other clowns had already broke in through the other entrances. Last thing i know I’m side by side with the clown who was up against the wall in a hiding position looking at me giggling. I then woke up!
