When I sleep I have deep dark nightmares that have haunt me from the time I was a child till now. When I wake it take a few minutes to realize that I am in reality and no longer where I was in the dream. It scares me at times because I will come out of the nightmare standing ready to defend my self. People can not touch me, not even my own kids they have to call out to me before they can approach them or I will come up swinging. I know there is alot to deal with from my past I just did not know it was this hard to deal with. To deal with my emotions is like trying to chip down the Berlin Wall.
