I have had this recurring dream since childhood. I am in a house it feels haunted or possessed. It is an older home with many rooms and hiding places. Sometimes I just feel the presence and try to hide from it. Other times the presence finds me hiding and proceeds to hurt me in some way. One time I was hiding in the tub and it split my gut and I watched my insides spill out!
Other Times I fight to wake up because he is trying to kill me or strangle me. Different variations of this dream but It occurs sometimes frequently. Sometimes I recognize the dream and try desperately to wake myself up. I am afraid of the outcome. Sometimes I wake up with the feeling that he is still with me. I don't know who he is. I have a history of CSA and it may be related to that. I have a lot of nightmares and wake my family up with screaming, yelling, crying. I haven't shared with T yet. I am afraid what he might think. I also have nightmares about bridges and drowning. Can anyone explain why I keep having these dreams over and over! I have horrible sleep habits and my insomnia is bad at times. I always feel tired. I am afraid to take sleep aids/meds.
