The really scary bit about monsters.
I have always dreamed in my sleep... that is I can recall some dreams right back to my childhood. Some of my dreams have been happy dreams and others nothing short of vivid nightmares... since I have been taking medication to control my depression, the nightmares have become more and more scary and more and more frequent. 
Last night brought new heights of fright for those around me... and was a first experience as far as I know.
Starting at something after 2:30am and reaching a highpoint (crescendo perhaps?) around 3:00am, yours truly had a conversation with 'another' being... voicing both parts... in very different tones.
The early part of this conversation was apparently incoherent, but was loud enough to wake my daughter in the room across the landing. The content did become recognisable though and I was obviously in distress. The culmination of the dialogue ran something like this:
Me: Away! Get Away!
It: You cannot fight me
Me: Leave me
It: I own you. You are mine
Me: What are you?
It: I am
followed by me screaming and being woken.
I have no idea what my dream was about and do not recall it at all... I just remember being woken and finding frightened faces. 
What the devil is going on?
