It happened on July 17, 2018.
There was a storm that time, and I was home alone because my aunt and uncle went to visit their grandchildren.
That day, I decided to sleep at the living room on the first floor because the air was cooler downstairs. I didn't have trouble sleeping. I woke up once, then went back to sleep. And that's when the dream happened...
In my dream, I was sleeping at the living room, just like in reality, when 3 children ran inside our house. They were all boys, but they didn't have any features. They were just black, like shadows. One of them ran straight into my aunt and uncle's bedroom, while the other two approached me.
One stood near where my head was resting, and the other one stood near my foot. The child near my foot held it and began to shake it. I couldn't move. I felt like I was awake and asleep at the same time, but unable to move.
The boy kept asking if he and his friends can go hide in our house because they were playing hide and seek. I almost said yes because I was aware that it was just a dream, and they were just children.
But then I remembered someone once told me, "Never let them in." Whoever it is: a person from a dream, a ghost, anything, don't let them in because that's not good. They could be a demon or a bad spirit. Because some believe that bad spirits, specifically demons, ask permission to enter before they possess anything.
I remembered this in my dream, so I told the kids, "No. You can't hide in here. Go home."
But they were persistent. They kept on pleading me.
I told them no again, saying, "I said no! Go home or I'll tell your mom! One! Two! Three!"
By the time I said "Three!" in my dreams, I woke up because I realized that I was talking in my sleep.
I never knew if the children left our home. But I will never forget that experience.

P.S.
The next day, I remembered that that happened after I bought a dress from a thrift store. But I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it.
