Summary
Spencer has been having the dreams almost as long as he can remember.
They started out vaguely, simply bloody and strange, images of people he loved being hurt. After he joined the BAU, they became more specific. His subconscious woke in images of the cases he had worked, the bodies he’d seen. There were months at a time when he hardly slept, trying to stave off the images of death. It never worked.
He knows that most people in his line of work have nightmares, but it's not the same. Anyone would imagine their family being hurt. Anyone would be afraid of failing to protect them.
In Spencer’s dreams, he is always the one holding the knife.
(In which Reid and Morgan figure things out, eventually, it just takes a while)
