Nightmares

So last night early this morning say around 2 am I had a series of nightmares.  I was absolutely terrified when I woke up for the third time around 6:30 am.  I then decided not to sleep for the rest of the night.  And know I am slightly afraid of going to bed.  I really don't want more nightmares.  I was like 12 when I had my last one.  These ones are due in part to a book that I have been reading.  In my dream I was being hunted down by zombies.  I know right, why zombies?  Well they were in the book.  I could even smell them in my dream.  Very disturbing.  I shall be sleeping with the lights on in my room tonight.
