Hello

I have been having some strange dreams lately that are out of the ordinary for me as I don't normally shout out or sleepwalk in my dreams.

I recently moved into my own apartment and over the past month most nights I have been sleepwalking/sleep screaming out. The dream is always the same, it's kind of hard for me to explain so please bare with me. There is a man who I will see standing in my doorway or sitting on my bedroom floor (always the same man, I don't know who he is) and he will just sit there looking at me. I didn't realise you could ''think'' in your dreams or I never have before but I will have thoughts such as ''How is he also living here?'' and I will then start to get angry because he's not answering me when I'm asking him who he is etc etc and just sitting looking at me, my boyfriend has told me I will throw things and swear in my dreams and also shout out, he says I sound frustrated. I don't feel scared in these dreams I feel more confused as they feel very real, the man also doesn't scare me as in a weird way I feel kind of connected to him. Last night it got particularly bad and I feel a little embarrassed as I scared my boyfriend.

This man who is always sat on my floor or in my doorway looking at me shoved something down my throat last night (no it wasn't anything rude ) but it honestly felt like I was choking and I had something stuck in my throat. I remember bolting out of bed and literally running around like a mad woman thinking I was choking. I then came back to reality and realised it was just a dream.

I really don't know what's wrong with me or what this recurring dream is about or what type of dream it is or why I keep seeing this man but if anyone could help me out or has any similar experiences then I would be very grateful for some advice as it's getting embarrassing!

Thank you
