All of the sudden I'm having dreams.

It's been years. I've remembered about 3 dreams in my entire life up until now. I don't know why it's suddenly happening.

They're not even really dreams. They're more like nightmares. And now I have them almost nightly. Why now? I've never dreamed this consecutively. And I never get nightmares.

I love my sleep, but this makes me afraid to go back to sleep. I don't want to watch people die, or relive my worst experiences, or die some horrible death, or live in a horror movie. I want it to stop. I want to go back to not dreaming at all. I'm sick of fear and death and destruction.

Why is this happening to me?
