I see dead giant turtles

Ok, I know I am losing the plot now. I am afraid of the dark, I admit it and I have to have a light on somewhere upstairs so I am not in complete blackness. But I had got better. However the past year or so, I keep freaking out in my sleep/semi-consciousness. Usually its when M comes to bed and I am asleep. I must feel his body movement subconsciously in the room or getting into bed, and think he is a monster and start screaming. But sometimes it is the middle of the night and it scares him, let alone me. Last night I woke screaming because something was next to my bed talking fast to me. It was lying next to my bed and had a giant turtle body and a persons head. How random is that!? Previously I have seen a face less man and a ragamuffin girl, both standing next to my bed.

I didn't have cheese the night before I promise. It just makes me wonder what goes on inside my head. I am a vivid dreamer. In fact I could write a whole separate blog about my dreams. But these are not dreams, they are almost like hallucinations.

M just pats me on the back and rolls over whilst I lie and try to get my breathing back under control whilst hiding under the covers. It can sometimes take me hours.

So if anyone has any idea where this turtle man thing comes from, please do post in my comments! Or at least tell me I'm not a complete loon!
