When I was little, I used to be afraid of the dark. I always thought that there was a _____ in my closet（壁橱）. Houses often made ______ noises at night. Sometimes I could _____ eyes watching me and I was afraid to move. I thought that if I didn’t move, “they” wouldn’t get me. ______ when this happened, I wanted to go to the ______. So before going there I would be huddling （缩作一团）under my quilt, _____ to build up the courage for the scary night-time trip to the bathroom.

My fear of the dark ______ me when I was in my early teens. I had a dream. In my dream, I saw this monster. He was right in front of me. I somehow found the courage. I was so angry with him that I _____ him. This dream was so exciting that I can still _____ it. After this dream, my fears of the dark were _______. I’m not afraid of the dark or anything else anymore.

Has anyone else had a dream like this that helped him or her?
