a bear was attacking her in the nightmare
Read the passage.
Throughout his childhood, James had heard rumors about the old man who lived across the street, Mr. Gray. As a joke, the kids in the neighborhood would ring his doorbell, then hide behind the bushes and gleefully snicker at him when he answered and found no one there.
One evening last summer, James saw Mr. Gray standing outside on his porch. His clothes were wrinkled and his hat was torn.
