What do these scary dreams mean?

Question

first dream: i was in my room and i looked out the window and there was a man in a bright yellow raincoat, but the hood was up so you couldn't see his face. he was standing with a shovel by our fence, inside the fence, so he was trespassing. So i ran and told my dad but he didn't believe me. Then we were downstairs and I saw the figure right up against the window, trying to break it. So my dad threw something at it and we thought it disappeared but it really didn't. We were checking the house and were in my room and the figure was right against the window again! then i woke up.

second dream: My mom and dad were leaving me and my sister home for the night. We were sitting on the couch, and then i got up to go get my phone from upstairs. When I was walking down the stairs I saw a dark shadow of a man with a cowboy hat that was very muscular. He was standing waiting at the door. So i tried to sneak past the door to get to the couch, but i wasn't very good at it and i know he saw me. But i went to my sister, but instead of just telling her about the cowboy i texted it to her. But while i was trying to text her i couldn't see the screen of what she was replying. It would become sharper but then blurry and then sharper again. We called my mom and dad and told them to come back home, and by the time they got back the cowboy was gone. We checked the house to make sure he wasn't in it. Me and my mom were in my room and were just about to leave when i saw a pair of big yellow eyes outside my window. I screamed and ran, then i woke up.

Sorry they're so long, but do you know what they mean??

Answer 1

Generally, it's pretty difficult to analyze dreams without knowing the person, and what's going on in their life.  This one might be a little easier, since  both have the same theme so this is actually pretty simple; you are somewhere you feel safe, and something is threatening you.  In both instances it is a man who is not where he should be, and your safe place is at home.  You try to get help, but you are either not beleived or you can't get the message across.  This could mean that your homelife is changing with the addition of another influence.  This could be anything from a new person, a new house, or a change in routine, or a change in you.  

You could also take this literally - something or someone is scaring you, and people around you are not willing or able to help.

In both dreams you are unsuccessful in hiding from them, they just show back up - are you possibly avoiding the inevitable?  Mostly scary dreams like this are an indicator of stress from  any number of things.  Take a good honest look at what's happening in your life and see if you  can identify anything similar to your dreams, and address the issue.

Probably that you are scared of being alone?  Some dreams are just dreams, don't freak yourself out thinking that they might really happen.  Your mind is messing like you, like when your in the house by yourself and could swaer you hear someone walking upstairs...
