How To Overcome The Habit Of Sleep Walking?

Hi. I have been sleepwalking for over a year now, almost every night. I have strange and wild dreams every night, and I sometimes wake up in the morning with blood all over the place because I have bitten myself in the middle of the night. I get emotional attachments to characters in my dreams whom I have invented, and I am often sad and depressed because of all these things. What is wrong with me?
