I have had this dream on and off for my entire adult life. This dream always starts the same... I dream that I enter a house (not always the same house but similar in style) and in this house I end up discovering rooms that other people are unaware of. Sometimes I am just looking for a washroom or helping a friend look for a house to buy , visiting someone or for some reason I am just in a house, but I never know who's house it belongs to. When I find these extra rooms (or sometimes I crawl into them through small doors etc) they open up into huge rooms, much larger than the actual house I have entered and almost like an entire house accessed through one room or doorway. In itself it doesn't sound very interesting but the reason I ask about it is that it always ends up horrible, either the room I enter seems haunted and things are unbeliveably scarry and then I end up fighting/struggling with something (not real) a being, a shadow or 'ghost' of sorts that usually ends up attacking me and/or trying to hurt me for some reason. Sometimes in my dream I realize that things are going to end up bad or think that I have had this dream before but when I try to turn around to get out I can't and I can not scream despite my efforts and I wake up just terrified!
Last night I had this dream again and this time the being that attacked me looked like my partner, it was horrible.
If you need more clarification please ask...
