Light at the end of the tunnel?

I have been thinking about my nightmares the other night, and I think I see the silver lining. See, unlike most of these instances, I was able to do something inside the dream.

I fought back.

Not physically, but I refused to accept the label he tried to put on me.

I refused to define myself as his property.

I said it loud in my mind - "I am not a toy. I am human being!"

I think that's a good thing.

Doesn't mean I am still not kinda shaky ...
