"Although it's a shade ambiguous here, I'm hoping the glove slap occurred IN   
   THE DREAM rather than reality"   
      
   Yes, it did occur in the dream. I always   
   had a fear when I am looking at objects, in very dim light   
   they appear to dance and morph because of   
   both the night time dim   
   making it hard for the eyes to sense and process   
   what I am seeing, and the floaters inside of the   
   human eyeball that further distorts vision and   
   causes the animation effect.   
      
   In that same room, I had a four way [::] style   
   electrical outlet which had black recepticles, and   
   a badly yellowed and peeling vynil face plate.   
   At night, that outlet appeared to dance and take on   
   other forms like crazy. As a young kid, this   
   sent me into a panic. You might have been wondering why I   
   just kept staring at it, but I am guessing my natural instincts   
   took over and on a subconcious level, my brain   
   viewed it as a natural predator that I needed to   
   keep my eyes on incase it attacks (if that makes   
   any sense).   
      
   It got to the point that I just unplugged everything   
   and moved my dresser in front of the outlet   
   so I wouldn't see it. This solved the problem.   
      
   I am 43 now, and I still have this fear. :\   
   I have to arrange stuff in my bedroom so in order to not be   
   triggered this way at night.
