Nightmare visions, fantasies
invade my sleep,
like aliens they creep
beneath the covers in the dark
to strike terror in my heart,
to wake me, screaming,
shaking,
gasping, sobbing,
quaking,
convinced I've been abducted.
Oh, God the fear!
But the nightmare is
it was just a dream,
and I'm still here.

I've had lots of dreams like that, they're very unpleasant. This is a very good, very relatable write. Nice job.
