I have a chronic nightmare that has affected me for six months now.

Below is a quotation I have told several people in my skype.

It begins with me being an animatronic. One of my own design. I am walking through a broken down building (not freddy's. there's no black and white checkerboard tile.) The first thing I notice is that the air conditioner is broken. I go through several rooms on my trek. One contains a broken Furby (which I know to be a symbol that I'm dreaming, I always use it,) and a broken rocking chair. Another room contains an old and weathered photo of my last extremely happy memory, when I got my DGX-230. Next room has a broken down rusty car. As I go on, I feel something snap, and a warning pops up in my HUD that I've broken something. I turn around to go back only to succumb to a massive cascade failure of components. I scream for help, the screams turn glitched and stuttered as time goes on. A man wearing a white uniform with red trim attempts to come to my aid but my view goes to static before he arrives. It then fades to black. And I see the animatronic I dreamt that I was. It then begins screaming with my own voice at me, crazed and insane. I wake up sometimes after this, but most usually, the nightmare ends with no incident.

Last night however, said animatronic, during the confrontation stage, it ended up attacking me... physically. I actually felt pain for the duration of the nightmare. I ended up fighting said animatronic off me, but I was hurt quite a bit.

By the way... the attack by Felix? Yeah it happened again last night...

I feel concerned enough about this nightmare to share my skype logs which should tell you how concerned I am.

Unfortunately since I can't edit the main post, I'll add an additional detail, the nightmare as described before the sections where I experienced being confronted within said nightmare has been going on for six months. The part where I describe the screaming has occurred within the last two months, and of course, the attacks started friday night

The animatronic is you. It is you attacking yourself. In real life you may be acting like an animatronic. You feel you are hurting yourself, and screaming at yourself. Also this could relate to and mirror a real life situation where you feel bullied, hurt, and screamed in.

I can't exactly say I feel differently, especially since my parents are always screaming at me for getting every little thing wrong and only recently has my mother tried standing up for me, but she does so very rarely compared to how much she also screams at me.

That's an interesting take, Thunder Bow. Though that does not explain all of the imagery I see, it does explain the underlying cause of the end of the nightmare.
