Are you afraid of your dreams?

[Panky]

I have this recurring dream of being stalked / hunted. I don't know who it is, but I know they are there. I can sense their presence. Various events take place, but inevitably, a chase will begin. I always will just suddenly wake up. I find myself sitting straight up, heart pounding, and looking around the room until I come to my senses and realize I'm in bed. I'll get comfy under my blankets again and try to go back to sleep. It takes a bit to fall asleep and even then I'm afraid to actually sleep because of the fear the dream will just continue where it left off. I probably need to consult a shrink.
