Why do I dream of bad things?

Why do I dream of some awareness that would love nothing more than to drain all that's good, pure, innocent and natural? Think of how the Werewolves see the Wyrm, is about it.
I dreamed of it last night, I can't describe anything specific, but I heard it's thoughts in my head, telling me what I described above: exactly what it wanted, which was to devile and destroy.
A long time ago I saw it in a dream, where it was "hunting" some girl playing in my backyard (if you could call a crossbow from 12 feet away "hunting"). I heard its thoughts, saw through its eyes, and knew how gleeful it was to be killing something that was alive and happy and had all of its life ahead of them and lived without a care in the world. And in that dream, at one point I jumped out to scare the girl off so this thing couldn't shoot her, but she disappeared when I did. When I turned to look back at the thing, it was aimed at me, and followed me wherever I went.
I've seen this thing a few other times, but I can't remember it all...
Is this my Shadow? If so then that sucks, because that tells me there is no redeeming element to it at all -- no good to be found by turning on that light and understanding it and making peace with it, because you can't make peace with something that craves pure and simple death.
I sincerely doubt this to actually be my Shadow, but if not…what is it? Why do I keep seeing it?
