Demise

In my last post I briefly talked about the demise I felt in my parents home while growing up. Demise. Have you ever felt demise? Demise in my definition, or the way I am using it here, is that I felt a darkness inside me that led me to think some impending doom was coming to me. It came out in my dreams. I would have reoccurring dreams of someone or something bad chasing me. I would spend the entire dream running away from this evil something that was coming to destroy me. In the end, I would awaken from those dreams frenzied because I wondered if they got me. That came from the demise I felt everyday. Tell me your experiences with demise. What affect has demise played on you in your life?
