I was surprised to read this one. It reminds me of an episode (that my mind is struggling to grasp) of some show like Night Gallery or Twilight Zone (though not either of those, the episode I remember was from the 80s), that I saw as a kid. I never connected that story with King before. I've also had dreams like this. Ever since I was a kid.

yeah...this one is good...heh! i like it when...i forget how to do a spoiler and i don't see a button for it...so...i can't say i s'pose. Reminds me of Combat...that you're probably too young to remember...old black and white show on television...the old Philco? that sounded like a shotgun cocking when you changed the channel? The bayonet...the little face looking up? Combat...the Germans always lost. Couldn't figure out why...those beetchin helmets...Tiger tanks...that little fuhrer running about yelling and screamin. Actually, don't believe they had Adolph on. Aqua Velva commercials...there's something about...blah blah blah. Rat Patrol...that was another. Hogan's Heroes. Do-do-do-do, doo! da-doot-do do. Do they still make sets like in Battleground? I remember gettin home from school, pulling the J.C. Penney catalog onto my lap...dreamin about those sets. I remember something recent...something about a footlocker...some kid. The footlocker figured big in his life. Someone got it wrong...called it...something...a box? It's a footlocker!

and maybe you are and maybe you aren't...age I mean. Don't judge a pic by its cover or something. Nice to meetcha.

Maybe you are thinking of the twilight zone's "the invaders" episode?Spoilers though,this shows pretty much what happens during the entire episode,including the ending..

I think Battleground was in a short story series on tv called Stephen Kings Nightmares and Dreamscapes, and I think you can view it on YouTube.......
