Dangerous Dreams

Over the past couple of years I've graduated from harmless snoring and drooling in my sleep to all out violent episodes. In between was the talking in my sleep stage, which was already annoying enough to him. Now he has to worry about his physical safety. I have never gotten into a physical altercation with anyone and never plan to. I think of myself as a gentle and loving person. Why then, do I constantly have dreams of screaming and fighting? I have some serious pent-up aggression hiding in my subconscious that I need to cleanse out of my system. I have even thrown myself out of the bed full-force while throwing a punch at someone in my dream. As hilarious as that was, it's a little worrisome! I literally flew out of bed and onto the floor. I've also wailed on him in the middle of the night. Once he woke up with little half-moon shapes on his face courtesy of my nails smacking into him. I recently slammed my fist against his pillow and woke both of us up. Luckily, his head was at the other end of the pillow and I hit nothing but feathers. Had his face taken the blow, he could have cried domestic abuse and I wouldn't have been able to refute it. Apparently I talk in my sleep all of the time and I can actually feel myself doing it sometimes. Not only is that annoying to him, I worry about what could come out of my mouth! He says I usually mumble, but that at times I speak in full sentences. I hope I don't say anything incriminating. A couple of nights ago he said I was sniffling away and crying in my sleep. Why can't I have a nice dream for once? One where I'm happy and violence-free? This better not escalate to sleepwalking. That's just creepy.
