Just a couple months ago I had a bad dream about my girlfriend, in the dream I couldn't find her anywhere and I looked everywhere for her but I couldn't find her so I went home and I found her dead in my living room. That may not seem like anything to freak out over but after that I started having them about twice a week and everytime they got more disturbing and more vivid. Now I have them almost everynight. In my most recent nightmare we were taken captive by men in black ski masks. We were thrown into a basement alone, then I told her that I would get us out of there. Then the men came down and tied me into a chair and forced me to watch them rape her violently and then when they were done they slit her throat. The worst part of these dreams is that they seem so real and half the time I don't know I'm dreaming until after I wake up. The dreams are extremely detailed and I can almost feel her fear in them. I know it sounds immature but I'm getting to the point where I'm scared to sleep at night because I know when I fall asleep I'm going to have to see my my girlfriend get raped, tortured, beaten murdered. And during the day I always have a horrible feeling in the pit of my stomach like something bad is going to happen to her. I find myself constantly checking on her to make sure she's safe. I need to know why I'm having these terrible dreams and what I can do to make them stop so I can live without constantly fearing for her. And also the dreams started not to long after I began taking medication for ADD so maybe that's part of the reason?
