Dream CCXX

I was sleeping when something heavy slumped against my on the bed and started squirming.

Alarmed, I tried to throw whatever it was off me, but my limbs were numb and sluggish, and I could barely get them to move at all.

I tried to shout, but my tongue was frozen in my mouth and all I could do was whisper gibberish.  

Eventually I was able to fight through my panic and I managed to throw the thing off me.  I jumped out of bed and stared at what was on the floor.  

It was a doll, about two feet high.  I couldn't see much in the dark, but it seemed to be a male doll, like an adult, dressed in a black formal dress with a top hat.  It appeared to have no face, unless I shifted it at certain angles--then I could see a vague face, like a smiling devil.  But it wasn't consistent; the face would flash when it liked and I couldn't make it happen.

I determined to get rid of it, and wondered what I could put it in until I could get it out of the house.  I certainly didn't want it loose.
