I had the same recurring nightmare and sleeping walking with awful night terrors for most of my childhood.
I was a rabbit (dont ask) and the farmer with the shot gun would chase me round the fields, but i couldnt run fast enough. I would hide in my burrow but i couldnt get out the otherside because of his dog. Always ended with being shot and skinned and hung up on the board of his shed, but i never used to wake up until the nails went into my tail.

Chroniko, feel free to interpret that hahaha
Funniest thing is im scared of rabbits now- not farmers or shotguns...
