When I was a little girl I began having the same dream over and over. I would be standing by a beautiful pool of water on a beach. The color would be a fire sunset orange/red and the water sparkling blue. My younger sister would be walking towards me over a small sand bar. She would be walking and then her legs would fall off so that she couldn't reach me. I would wake up and that would be it. I had this dream from about 2nd grade up until I was 18 when we found out she had brain cancer. She died just six months after we found out about the tumor and then that dream was never again.

Now days I am married with three children and it is 13 years later. I have nightmares with dark/black human figures who watch me. I see black spiders and black snakes crawling all over my bed and from the ceiling. I usually wake myself up screaming or yelling. A lot of nights I sit up and see a black human figure sitting on the sofa in the living room just outside my bedroom, they are watching me. I don't get a friendly feeling from the figure watching me, it is a scary feeling.

I do have another dream every so often and that is also scary. My friends, family and people I used to know are all trying to murder me.

The black and dark dreams are the most haunting. I just want them to stop.
