Thread: Strange Reoccuring Theme

So, I have this happen to me ever couple of weeks or so for the past couple of years and its really puzzling me. I find myself aware of my dreaming and know where I am and when I try to move my body it's like its not receiving any signals from my mind. Its hard to tell whether I am awake or asleep because everything is really abstract, I'd say its somewhere in between or fading in and out. I have really creative thoughts around this time that seem to be really really important, that quickly fade away (a lot of times can't even be expressed in words) after I awake. Also, there is also a presence of something that doesn't really have a form but for some reason I feel it's presence. Sometimes I see it walking around in my mind's eye, but it is just a shadow. When i feel its presence I also feel, simultaneously, really strong feelings of fear/curiousity/excitement. Today, I was face to face with it, I couldn't really make out a face, but i knew it was a face. I was afraid so I tried to ignore it and just go back into deep sleep but the feeling just got stronger. I don't know if anyone can shed some light on this, it's pretty confusing, but if anyone has any opinions on this I'd like to hear them.
