Dreams And Nightmares

My name is Mikala and ever since I can remember I have these weird dreams and nightmares. In all of them there is a large shadow figure. He has a very mean feeling radiating off of him, and I am all of the time feeling like there is a threatening presence around me. I sometimes wake up in the middle of the night or mornings and will have unexplainable bruises on my body. I don't know how I got them or anything. Then I have dreams where it is almost like a more peaceful presence is there and it is a little bit easier for me to sleep. But when I wake up sometimes I still feel at peace but most of the time I just feel a really bad presence all around me. I constantly black out and when I come to, it always seems like there is a shadow around me. And the same shadow constantly makes itself known to me. It has been this way my whole life. And a majority of my dreams are things that are going to happen. There are a lot of things that I have questions about that have happened to me since I was little. If someone could please contact me back because I would really love some answers. And I am not the only one in my family who has had this kind of stuff happen to them. And my grandmother also has the same kind of dreams that I do, as well as my dad. So like I said if someone could please get in touch with me I would really love that. I am tired of always feeling like there is something wrong with me or I am going crazy. Along with the dreams that I have I also have night terrors very badly. Those are the dreams where the dark shadow I was talking about really likes to come into play. I would really like some help with this if it is possible. I am 32 years old and this has been going on since I was little. I don't understand it but would really love to.
