In the Midst of a Deep Sleep

Dreams: Dreams are sequence images, sounds and feelings experienced while sleeping, strongly associated with rapid eye movement sleep. The contents and biological purposes of dreams are not fully understood, though they have been a topic of speculation and interest throughout recorded history. The scientific study of dreams is known as oneirology.

Nightmare: A nightmare is a dream which causes a strong unpleasant emotional response from the sleeper, typically fear or horror, being in situations of extreme danger, or the sensations of pain, bad events, falling, drowning or death. Such dreams can be related to physical causes such as a high fever, turned faced down on a pillow during sleep (most often in the case of drowning nightmares), or psychological ones such as psychological trauma or stress in the sleeper's life, or can have no apparent cause. If a person has experienced a psychologically traumatic situation in life—for example, a person who may have been captured and tortured—the experience may come back to haunt them in their nightmares. Sleepers may waken in a state of distress and be unable to get back to sleep for some time. Eating before bed, which triggers an increase in the body's metabolism and brain activity, is another potential stimulus for nightmares.
Occasional nightmares are commonplace, but recurrent nightmares can interfere with sleep and may cause people to seek medical help. A recently proposed treatment consists of imagery rehearsal. This approach appears to reduce the effects of nightmares and other symptoms in acute stress disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder.

I've always been a firm believer that dreams can come true. Not just the dreams of being rich or living in luxury but actual dreams... nightly dreams.

Not until recently has it been that I would rather not my dreams come true. I have had nightmares in the middle of the night with no explanation. I can not remember them but I remember waking up in a deep sweat with a rush or fear consuming my body.

This is strange as I have always enjoyed recalling my dreams. However the past few days I have not tried as I have been frightening of a simple memory.

I cannot determine the cause of the nightly awakings however they have led to recent sleepless nights.
