I have had this dream on and off since I was 9, I'm now 25 years old. This nightmare bugs me, and I can't make it seem to go away. It's not as consistant now as it was when I was a child.

The dream involves me running from this 40 foot monster. The monster is made up solely of large boulders and rocks, and it does have a face, while I can't quite make it out. I'm running down the street, and I come across what I believe is my home, as there are pictures of my mother, and sister in the building. However the building is up on a large metal pole, kind of like a birdhouse. There is a large rope netting, that I climb to get into the house to try to avoid the monster. I hide in a closet, and the monster suddenly opens the door, but is now about 6 feet tall. I am still a child (even though I still regularly have this dream as an adult) sitting there in the closet, screaming for someone to save me but no one comes. The monster grabs me up in his arms and is trying to squeeze me to death, when I suddenly wake up.

When I wake I'm total soaked in sweat. People I've lived with, say I scream bloody murder, and I thrash around. I end up not being able to go back to sleep, because I end up right back there re-dreaming the same dream over and over. I got to the point that once I have the dream, I can't stand going back to sleep that night. I'm thinking that maybe if I know what the dream means or if anyone has any ideas that I could get this to stop.
