A stranger follows me through a luxurious hotel

i’ve had the same dream the last two nights in a row, so it’s a recurring dream. i’m in a random city with no one but my sister and [name removed] is there for some reason, like she’s the one that revealed this dream to me. we’re staying in this super luxurious hotel, on the outside it looks like a normal motel though. on the inside, the ceilings are at least 20 ft. high in my own room, all the lights are ambient, and everything in the room is this nice dark hardwood or black marble. i dreamt of being at a party or get-together with my sister and a few people first, and her hair was cut short like a boy’s. she still had braces and i could tell she was annoying some of the people that she was talking to. somehow [name removed] led me out of that party and i ended up in my room alone. i went outside by the pool area to go up on this deck that was on a hill above the pool, and these two blue-collar workers, a black guy and a white guy, started haggling me about something. long-story short, i ended up back in my room that night and woke up to the white guy having opened the window and climbed into my room to scare me or freak me out. i grabbed my phone and threatened to call 911, but he was acting like it wouldn’t do anything. i was acting hard in the moment and kept asking what he even wanted from me, the whole time wondering why he would pick on me out of everyone. he kept insisting that i was going to “help him” with something. i think this was over the period of multiple nights at this hotel though, but this was the first time he actually came into the room. i know this because i had a feeling of being watched in the dream for a while somehow, i don’t think i remember it all. he was talking to me about something, but the one thing i remembered him asking was about “what i wanted to accomplish in maryland.” i told him that i wanted to make $100,000, buy a new car, and invest in my future. but i could tell he wanted me to help him instead. long story short, i had fallen back asleep and at dawn that morning i woke back up to find that the guy (driving an old blue hyundai SUV) had my blinds up and curtains open on the front windows so he could see directly into the room from his car. i somehow managed to run and lock the windows, and took off through my huge room into the rest of the hotel. i was running through this huge pool hall area and saw him following behind me, and the last thing i remember is being in the dining area maneuvering through a bunch of people and seeing him asking around to find me. it felt like running from him was me running from a certain problem, and it felt like i was trapped in the hotel because of it
