Recurring creature type of dreams

So this takes on different forms but it's always the same theme. Basically I'm either alone or with a small group of people and we are hunkered down in some apartment or large hotel room. Sometimes it's a house. But there are creatures known to be outside. We don't go out. They usually come out in the dark so we sometimes venture out during the day. Is fine so long as they don't see you. So a lot of time is spent staying away from windows and locked inside rooms. I'm frightened but the confined space is comforting. The last dream involved creatures that would actually come into the room at night, but again they wouldn't attack unless they knew you were looking at them.

I wouldn't call these nightmares. I'm not waking up in a cold sweat or anything. Just...bizarre! Curious to know what you guys think!

Fear of the unknown kind of dream. Afraid to go out and take risks dream. Dreams are about our feelings.
