Purified By Hell, Empowered By Heaven

I'm in this weird pattern where every night I have first a gut-wrenching, horrific nightmare or vision that is hellish in nature. I wake up Midnight-1 AM sweating and out of breath from the terror of it all. Then about 3 AM I usually have some transcendent, heavenly dream. I am starting to wonder if the nightmare is my soul cleansing itself of the evils thought and performed throughout the day. Like I have to face my sin to move past it. Then once faced and forgiven, I can move on to my deeper self, which is in the image of God. Am I being nightly purified by hell and then empowered by Heaven? It sure feels that way.
