I endured around the time they started. But they have since then involved different ppl. And I wasn't aware of the "sleep walking " type behovior till this morning. Although I never leave my bed.
When I am not dreaming of thsee horrible dreams. I am dreaming of being used of delivering ppl of certain spirits. These dreams have started about a year ago around the same time that I had endured a very similar situation of the situation that happened 15 years ago! Only this time I wasn't in the world I was Spirit-filled and a strong relationship with God and come against the devil in a mighty way I know this sounds crazy but during a fasting and prayer time I had actually heard him audibly laughing at me and instantly Fear wanted to come up in my heart but I stood bold and rebuked him. during also this situation my pastor had called me and my family up to the front and told us that we were under a Spirit of witchcraft attack. I guess I'm saying all this to say that I strongly feel like this is a spiritual attack I kept having dreams for the past year about delivering people and praying in her confirmation 7 I really felt like a lord wanted to use me and I Deliverance type Ministry but I just think there's something there that needs to come off first there's some Spirit has attached itself to me in a certain area that's causing these unwanted dreams. By the way when he my pastor that is told me of this we went home and search our entire house there was a couple books like that were negative in spirit that were in my attic that was from one of our oldest daughters and after throwing those out the dreams are still there and as far as I know there's nothing else in the our house I don't have any relationship with anyone else other than my family and church folks and my husband I don't talk to old friends I wasn't really very popular anyway didn't have any friends
I'm very particular about what we watch, even the show 7th Heaven is not allowed becuase of the high lus drive in the kids. And nothing scary at all or with Language. so I don't really know what it could be.

could it be attached to an emotional issue that I endured back then and now have endured even recently in the past year?

It could be. If the dreams reflect the circumstance you dealt with 15 years ago and what transpired around a year ago, it's possible. It's easier when a stronghold is related to a physical item or items like something from the past, something involving the occult, or even a family heirloom. On rare occasions, I've heard of photographs being a stronghold wherein a spirit establishes an anchor in one's life. For example, the photo of an ex-lover or demonized ex-spouse. It's good to get rid of ALL of it.
When the stronghold is emotional it becomes more difficult. An emotional stronghold can be related to some unconfessed sin (including an unconfessed affection towards a given sin that is already confessed and repented of), or what some folks call a "soul-tie" (an unbroken emotional/spiritual connection with an ex-lover, spouse, or one-time partner). These soul-ties can serve as points of entry for spiritual oppression if the other individual is demonized or was (or is now) involved in the occult. The soul-tie must be broken. And this takes us back into any possible photograph or item of sentimentality.
There is also an outside possibility. Although, I know it seems outlandish to the natural mind. Jesus said,
Luke 10:19
Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
Yes, the enemy has limited spiritual power. This power is often used by witches, psychics, mediums, and others in their spiritual work. And yes, they can attempt to cast spells (curses, hexes, and evil spiritual constructs) on believers. It is possible that a friend or family member has placed a hex or curse upon you. But these are often marked with sudden onset and the general sense of "now something just isn't right". They also tend to have little effect other than being a nuisance. If this has troubled you for roughly 15 years, it most likely isn't originating from a curse or hex.
There are also spirits attached to locations. Sometimes a person or family will move into a home in which an evil spirit (or spirits) has taken up residence. They may not have any indication of the spirit's presence until the spirit subtly begins to oppress the individual over a period of weeks, months, or years. Sometimes people rack their brains trying to figure out when their oppression began and suddenly they realize... it was weeks or months after moving into their home.
These spirits are often resident because of the behaviors and/or practices of the previous occupants. At any rate, such a house needs to be cleansed. And that can be a time consuming process if one wants to be CERTAIN that the spirit is removed. The gift of discernment is of much value in such circumstances, because with this gift the spirit can be identified and removed immediately whether it shows itself or not.
A more remote possibility is a generational curse or spirit that has harassed your family for generations and you're just next in line.
