When I first started school I had a recurring nightmare that everyone else in the school -- both teachers and kids -- had all been taken over by aliens masquerading as people and were intent on "assimilating" me next. I would run and hide under the coats hanging on racks, or lock myself in a toilet cubicle for as long as possible. This went on for some months before I (reluctantly) adjusted to school life. Only many years later when I saw the movie "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" did I realise that my paranoid fantasy was not unique to me but was apparently shared by enough other people to warrant making a successful movie about it!
