Nightmares

I’m having nightmares. Nightmares from which I wake up screaming, or wanting to scream, wrenching myself awake with a huge, conscious effort, like a struggle for life.

Then I’m left feeling shaken, scarred, almost traumatized all day long. 

What’s happening? 

Something is stirring in the depths of my psyche… what is it? 

These nightmares seem to point to some male/female battle but also, maybe mostly, a terrible threat upon me, as if something, or someone, wanted to kill me, were trying to harm me. 

Who is it?
