Through The Knothole

This is a very old nightmare of mine which on looking back is rather annoying and repetitious rather than frightening!

Basically, I can't remember why or how, but I went up to this door or panel of wood somewhere in our house...it had a knothole in it...and I peered through this. Instead of seeing some sort of room or something lying beyond, I saw...a HIDEOUS monster eye staring back at me! It was surrounded by warty light green skin and it was so huge and bloodshot and ugly! It just STARED at me! I screamed and ran away from the knothole and ran to my parents' room.

"Dad! Dad!" I yelled in terror. Ma continued sleeping; Dad sat up. In real life my dad is and has always, at least in my conscious memory, been a big man; but in this dream for some reason he was very skinny, to the point of being emaciated. :/ He sat up, his hair sticking out every which way, and yawned groggily, rubbing at his head.

"What?" he mumbled, unable to fully wake up.

Instead of explaining what I'd seen--I think somehow I knew he wouldn't understand the urgency of this--I ran back to the knothole. I peered into it, and...the hideous green-skinned monster eye was still there, STARING back out at me! And...I went running right back to my parents' room and yelled, "Dad! Dad!" in a panic. Dad again sat up, rubbing groggily at his head...

I do not remember by now how many times exactly I did this, if it ended at merely two times or just went on and on, but that's all that I remember happening, me seeing the eye and always running back to my groggy parents in fear. It was like some sort of endless loop or something! o_o;
