I'm not really sure if this is the place to be asking, but I'm hoping someone here can help. I have never really remembered dreams much before, maybe once every couple of years.

So this is a little new, and a little odd to me, but here it goes.

A few nights ago, I had a dream, where I could not tell if I where dreaming or not. Sounds like a lucid dream, except I had no control over what happened.

Started out as an awsome dream, but near the end turned into what I would have to call a dramatic nightmare. Right before I wake up I am seconds from being killed.....and then I wake up not knowing what it was that was trying to kill me.

Every night since then I've had a different dream.....but it all ends turning into a nightmare, with me waking up seconds before I would have been killed. All different dreams....but all having the same aspects where I do not think I am dreaming, and have no control over even myself.

I'm curious why I am having these out of nowhere, after a lifetime of not dreaming whatsoever.

But I'm also curious how to make them stop....I am at the point where I am somewhat afraid to sleep, and I dont want that.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as soon as possible....hopefully before I go to sleep tonight.

thank you in advance.
