Sydney's Nightly Adventures

I only remember about half of my dream. A little summary: I have a dog named Otis. There is a stray dog who keeps coming over to my house in real life; and he attacks all the cats and kills things. Okay, summary over. Here's the dream: My dog Otis was trying to protect me from the stray dog in our neighborhood. He wouldn't go away. (Just so you know, my dog Otis had heart problems and arthritis.) Anyways, The stray dog tried to bite me a couple of times, so Otis was trying to "save" me. He seemed invincible in this dream. . .it was cute, but odd. But that's all I remember.

Some extra details: I was in this tree house looking thing. . . that had a lot of stairs leading up to it. The lighting was dark, but I could see okay. It's like I could see myself backing away from the dog and Otis trying to protect me. Like I was seeing it from someone else's eyes.
