The nightmares have returned. The one that has me awake and typing about it occured barely after having slept for only a hour. And one that in the nightmare had me the most fearful I've been in a long time. I felt so powerless it was like I was possesed or something. Scary.

I remember wanting to scream for help and having my mouth move but nothing come out. I remember wanting to get out of bed and run but feeling as if I was paralyzed, or physically restrained in some way.
I remember hearing a voice in my head telling me no one would help me, no one can hear me, there is nothing I can do. It told me I could never get away and that it was going to get me.
I remember right before waking up yelling and hyperventilating the image that filled my minds eye was just the nose of an animal panting heavily.

Now I feel awake, but drained. Hardly rested but afraid to go back to sleep. I'm starting to hate the night again. My nightmares are returning.....
