Intrusive thoughts? Or a warning of what’s to come.

 The other night while I was trying to get settled into bed a thought came into my mind about my father.  In my mind several scenarios played out.  All of them had a similar start and a similar end.  I’m not sure what they mean if anything.  These thoughts could simply be my way of working through my feelings.  I’m not a psychologist, so I have no idea.  Here is one scenario. 

………………………………..

He (my father) shows up unannounced and without an invitation to my house.  He parks his truck in my driveway and is headed toward the gate.  I see someone drive up through the security camera app on my phone, so I go outside to see who is there.  I see it’s him.

I tell him that he is not welcome here and that he needs to leave.  He says “I have to talk to you about something” and I respond again with “you are not welcome here you need to leave”.  He keeps trying to convince me to talk to him and I keep telling him to leave, and then I pull my gun…which apparently I was wearing.  (I don’t wear my gun when I’m at home)

I draw on him and tell him once again to leave because he’s not welcome.  He stops approaching but he won’t stop talking, trying to convince me to hear him out.  He has yet to actually say why he is here, he’s still just trying to convince me to let him in.  

As I’m holding him at gun point; me in my fenced off yard and him in the driveway outside of the fence…I alert the other family members inside the house to call the police.  I hold him at gunpoint until the police arrive.  Mind you he has had every opportunity to get in his truck and leave, without involving the police.

Police come, they draw their guns, I lay mine down and step away. I let them know who he is…(full name, birthdate, address, and current relationship status.)

After verification, they make him leave and take my statement and then all works out fine.  

………………………………….

There are at least 5 other ways this played out, which I also played out in my mind last night. 

Why on earth would this thought get into my head, and why would it take me playing out every possible scenario before I finally fell asleep?

Is it a warning of what is to come? Or am I just working through my shit piece by piece.
