Nightmares

Recently I haven't been able to sleep so well because I'm having really intense dreams that scare me and keep me up all night.

Last night's dream freaked me out and I was up from 3am.

They all involve people really close to me and horrific violence.

They are seriously vicious - they make me not wanna go back to sleep, not matter how heavy my eyelids are!

I don't understand why I'm having them!

Any dream interpreters out there?!
