Not recent or anything.

Usually the nightmares I have are where I will wake up in the middle of the night and I will know that I am in danger. So I will start screaming but I can't, they are silent screams. So I try to turn on the lights only for some reason they don't work, so I try to get to my mom (this was when I lived at home) or sister but then I will lose strength in my legs and will collapse so I will try to scream again but they are still silent. It's usually my dad I am frightened of but he was dead long ago. I don't know why I would be either, he was never exactly abusive towards me. He was angry all the time towards my mom and my sister and I but he wasn't abusive. Ever since he committed suicide though I've been frightened in my dreams and I don't know why. I barely remember him, I was six when it happened.

you know sth? i actually have silent screams in dreams too, like when you try to scream but all that comes out is a nothing... anyway the fact that lights dont turn on in the dreams is a good way of noticing tat its a dream... but well yea im pretty noob at LDing too
