"I recognize you, little one. You venture into my kingdom often at night. Do you remember of what you dream?" The voice was mocking, with a hard edge of menace. Disjointed images ran through my head from my dreams. "You should know better than these others of what you face here." Eight feet above the ground a man's face had appeared. He leered, hard eyes and a cruel smile forming from the dark. A heavy foot caused the shadows to scatter at his feet as he stepped forwards. Another step forward and his other leg appeared, along with a beard and short haircut. He swung his newly formed arms wide, shadows still clinging to them in tattered rags.

"For the rest of you, allow me to introduce the citizens of my kingdom." He glowered. Most of our group took a step back.

"These are you fears, they are your forgotten, they are your dead, they are your Nightmares, and I am their KING!" He proclaimed and the rest of the shadows solidified around his form, creating a loose black shirt, matching pants and a high pointed crown.

"Go, find the artifact! Let no man stand in your way." He bellowed to the assembled creatures with a smirk. "And mow these fools down if you must as you go."

Sometimes I have nightmares.

Sometimes those nightmares are real.

Sometimes they're warnings.

Fall into a world where anxiety becomes a super power, the main characters are perfectly flawed humans, nightmares are real, and the dead come back for revenge lead by the King of Nightmares

In Dreams: The Nightmare King
It rained, heavily, all night, before the funeral. The pounding of the drops caused me to sleep fitfully. Nightmares came and went, fleeting images I couldn't remember making me toss and turn. I think I dreamed about drowning, but it was gone before I could remember it. I felt restless, unsettled, a slow ache began to bloom in my chest, and I could feel my stomach tightening into knots as the anxiety crept in. By morning, I was exhausted, jumpy and sick to my stomach. I wanted to throw my cellphone out the window as the alarm reminded me I had places to be. I groaned and debated whether I had time to snooze it for a few more minutes. I hit snooze anyway, but my anxiety wouldn't let me sleep. I groaned my way out of bed after I realized it was a useless attempt, and headed to the kitchen for breakfast. I opened one cabinet door after another and scanned the contents, but nothing was appealing. I went to the fridge, looked through it, then went back to the cabinets. "Screw breakfast." I said as I realized I was circling the kitchen again, and slammed the cabinet door I had open, unintentionally using too much force. The door banged like a firecracker and as I jumped, my right eyelid started its mad dance with a flurry of twitching. "Damn!" I said as I pressed my fingers to my eye, in an effort to hold the lid still until the spasms subsided. Today was NOT going to be a good day.
