A New Type of Dream

Dream about a co-worker, someone I don't know very well but someone that I've never had conflict with, breaking into my home and stealing from me. And each time that I drifted back to sleep or was in that half awake, half asleep state, I'd slip back into a continuation of the dream or some dizzying thought process related to it. Finally just had to get up in an attempt to end all the drama. It was like: "Why can't I snap out of this exhausting maze?" And why can't this process take place with the pleasant dreams?
