Welcome to my Nightmare

The dreams that I can remember all seem to be nightmares. They're never really perfectly put together, or at least I don't recall them that way. Before I wake up I usually feel as if I'm trapped so I'm trying to get out of my dream. One time I remember I was sleeping, but it was as if my eyes were opened because I can see my room. The nightmarish thing about this was that i just saw the color red everywhere in many different forms. I tried moving, but i could not, I tried yelling, but i could not, After what seemed to be hours my silent cries for help finally had some sound. That was the first time something like that had happened. Now it happens quite a lot, maybe I shouldn't watch horror films right before bed. Although now when it happens I know I'm not going to die, so of course I'm still frightened, but I think once you have experienced something terrifying your fears aren't as big. My nightmares actually help to overcome fears. Fear helps fear.
