Nasty visceral feel to the knives, slicing skin from your calves. Any physical issue with your calves: past trauma, injury, etc? The myths tell us that event the heroes have vulnerable places.
Certainly your image of running toward the light at which point you could go into a garden seems like a practice run at what people report happens when you die, but return.
I would wonder about your shame, your sense of inadequacy. Anything been coming up lately about feeling inadequate?
Best way to return to dreamland is to offer a wee ritual before sleep, maybe some incense, maybe some protective items.
Your ego is being sliced up and believe it or not, that's the good news.
