It's just past 4:00 AM and I'm afraid to go back to sleep.

I keep dreaming that my ex-husband (who was abusive when we were married) is gradually replacing things in the room that belong to my now-and-forever husband, with things that belong to him. About the time I start to notice the changes, my ex-husband steps out of hiding, grabs me, holds me down, covers my mouth, and laughs. I wake up before he does anything else.

It's happened four or five times in succession tonight. I've never had this nightmare before.
