Prolouge: What are Nightmares?

What are Nightmares? An unpleasant dream? Psychological trauma? Just plain torture? That's what Wikipedia says anyhow, but there is much more to them. There are secret messages hidden behind each and every Nightmare. I learned that the hard way.

Some say that Nightmares are the god's ways of punishing you for doing wrong, by making you fear. Well, in my case atleast, I hope that's not true. With Nightmares came something for me that I would never trade away or consider torment or punishment...
