    Anyone have lucid dreams? The kind where you know you are dreaming and you have control of what happens? (To the point that you can will yourself to wake up.)

    Just last week I was having a terrible nightmare, The End of the World.

    In the end of that dream when the end was coming  everything changed back to thestone age, including the people, we all changed into ugly creatures, simply horrific looking...........all I remember is how scary it was.......
    I woke up breathing like I had run a marathon. Wew, freaky......that one had me going, and I still think about it a lot.

    I dont like to read about dreams or nightmares since they seem to have no logic (i know they have meaning, but not logic) things like "i dreamed i was sitting on an elephant and the sky was pink" i mean, is useless to read about them, they make no sense and most of the nightmares are related to your fears and thats it, is just like reading a book that ends at the middle of the story, you always are like "ok, and?"

    Weird to read about the paralysis because I remember it so well.  I didnt feel a presence but I was scared and did try to cry out.  The human mind is a cmplex thing that is capable of all sorts of things!
     
    I always have those dreams where you know your dreaming.  Sometimes Ill wake up in the morning and tell DH how crappy my nights sleep was beause of an annoying dream.

    I believe somewhere in the ghosts/Halloween thread the Night Hag made an appearance as well. My most vivid nightmare came after my dad died, and I was away at grad school in CA. I was taking something to help me sleep (decongestant RX,  prescribed from the student health center!) and one of the side effects was nightmares. I dreamed my dad was still alive, and came up and hugged me, and then his face started decomposing, like the character in the 3rd Indiana Jones movie. I never took the stuff again.

    Oh that happened to me twice, it is reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally scary, i was trying to sleep but i was opening my eyes every 2 minutes after i saw an horror movie, at one moment actually i was in a level when i was almost asleep but not yet so i opened my eyes again but my brain didnt react at the same time for being "almost asleep",  i was not able to move, speak, scream, etc, of course then my brain associated that with "someone" else "hugging" me to avoid any movement, also i heard "someone" saying right in my ear "ok lets see what do you do about this" but of course it was my brain playing games again, after a few seconds of trying really hard i was able to move sideways untill i could move myself completly
