Assignment 2 -(2) Situation that reminds me of something that happened in my life

While reading the book, ‘The Road’, I could easily feel that this book was totally different from the books I’ve read before (though I’ve read very small amount of English books). When I was reading other books, I could at least understand basic information about the story, such as setting, characters, events, etc. However, right now, even I finished reading until page 50, I’m still having lots of difficulty understanding about basic information of this book.
By the way, I once was very glad while I was reading, because I could find can-be-understood events among those hard-to-understand stories. They were on the very first page (pg.3) and page 18. Those were a kind of descriptions of nightmares the man had had. Particularly, in his dreams, he once was with a beast, and once was with his dead wife in a scary image, one to one. And those descriptions made me remind of horrible nightmares I once had when I was young.
When I was in the elementary school 6th grade, I went to America for 2-month trip. For the first 30 days, I traveled western and eastern parts of the US with my grandparents, and for the next 30 days, we stayed in my cousin’s house located in LA. During the trip, it was a super fun. But as time passed by, I started to miss my family (which means my parents and older brother who was in Korea at that time) so much. I even was scolded by my grandparents for using international call for too long. Maybe, my strong wish (or desire) for meeting my family would have made such a scary night.
On that day, I went to bed, and fell asleep as usual. I played soccer and baseball so that I was really tired, and I remember that I fell asleep very fast after lying down on the bed. Suddenly, I was standing on somewhere. The place which is familiar to me, but not been seen for a long time. It was my house in Korea! I was really glad to be there and started to look around to find out where I was in my house. Even it was very dark, (it may have been night in my dream when I was visiting my house) I could soon realize that I was in my room. I was glad with joy, and started walking around the room. When I started my first step, I stepped on something. I wanted to find out what it was (or what those were), so I turned the light on. Well, to tell the truth, I think the light turned on by itself when I thought like ‘I want to find out what it is’. The first thing I saw was sticky blood all around my feet and my father, mother and brother lying down on the floor, covered with blood. They were half-opening their eyes and mouths. They seemed like they were beat and stabbed by somebody.
Even I was sleeping, I could feel that my body trembling in a moment, and without noticing, I was awake on the bed in my cousin’s house, covered with sweat and tears. It was a very short moment, but it also was very scary that I had to call my family right away to check if they were alive or not. As a person who had experienced similar thing with the man (especially, meeting someone who’s in a scary image), I could think about the man’s feeling once more when I was reading those parts. And those scary dreams could help me pay more attention to the stories while I was reading.
