A Knock On the Door
Awakened in the middle of the dream
Or was it a nightmare
How could it all happen in unison
Real life and dream
About to be caught
Dragged under the surface
The car careens off the road
A knock at the door
Wearing riot gear
Still early
Still dark
And yet it was not unexpected
Open the door
Welcome them in
Be sure to tell them
You are innocent of any wrong doing
It is a misunderstanding

This is vivid and intriguing - but has too many lines for a sonnet, even a 'free' one. I think it has other sonnet features though, and could easily be made into one with a bit of rewriting.
This is a bit unsettling... i think what an unwelcome guest like this might be.
Dream or nightmare? It is both, maybe.
I feel that waking, not knowing whether it is dream or nightmare.....we must be sure to tell them, it is a misunderstanding.
The knock on the door can be an ominous sign.
