Very odd behavior!

It may have been a man in the bushes breathing heavily. Maybe next time you go outside you should put on a shirt

The night makes everything scarier.

When you're half asleep, you react instinctively, right? So the survival instinct kicked in, and you protected yourself from a potentially man eating dog.

lol @ MRD

Sometimes when I get really tired I do a lot of stuff on auto-pilot and I don't know what I'm doing, that's probably all that happened.

Perhaps it was a Barghest or another demonic creature and you were saved by some good-natured outside intervention.

It sounds a bit weird though, if you twitched or so that would be more explainable, but taking several steps and closing a door is a bit much for an unintended action.

Maybe it wasn't a dog but a bear? And then you smelled it and subconsciously your lizard brain smelled 'bear' and made you run?

Well we all know what happens if a bear crosses the border: http://www.spiegel.de/international/...423734,00.html

We do have beavers showing up now and again. I just saw one in the creek (bach) at my front door, a couple of weeks ago. I am sure he will be exiled to Poland, like his other relatives, just as soon as the authorities catch up with him too.

It couldn’t be much weirder if it were a Barghest, though I did not have any sense of foreboding or fear when it took place.

But now that you bring up black dogs, maybe I should ask a alikchi hopaii about it.

You‘ll have to ask MRD what that is.
