I had a cold some time ago and I experienced some really strong, feverish, nightmares. Going to share them here and maybe some of you have had similar experiences. After i had these I kind of put down the dreaming for a while as the power of them scared me. Clearly a downside of getting better at dreaming, all dreams become stronger, no matter good or bad.

Dream 1
I was floating in darkness. Just complete and empty darkness. In the darkness there were bubbles. Bubbles of knowledge floating in a calm and dark eternity. Among them I was floating. I could not choose were to float, I just did. At some times i passed through the bubbles of knowledge. And the knowledge were so strong, and so terrifying. It felt like my mind was gonna burst like a soap bubble. And then i had passed through. But then there were another bubble of terrible knowledge.

I can't remember what knowledge they contained, just that it were very strong and very powerful. I woke up covered in sweat and with my heart racing.

Dream 2
I woke up and I was completely convinced that there was a snake beside me in the bed. I could feel it. It was there. I did not dare to move. Then i jumped out of the bed and ran across the room and lit the ceiling lamp.

There were, of course, no snake there. But it felt so real, and was so vivid.. Scary as fuck.

That's it! Is it normal that the dreams you dream while sick is stronger and darker then normally? Because I never experience nightmares normally.

This happened a while back, a few weeks or something. It was a very important night since it was the first lucid dream I've had that lasted more than 2 seconds. The text below is exactly what i wrote when I woke up after the dream. Though it is translated. The dream figured a number of persons I know in real life, but I will change their names.

" First Lucid Dream. 23/9 2012 Tonight I am going to Lucid dream.
Lots of details.
I was in a great hall when I performed RC, my fingers did not pass through my palm. But I could breath through my closed nose. Success! I asked a group of dream characters who they represented. Linnea said she represented my longing. And a person shifting between Alex and Mat represented my social side.

Alex/Mat was very concerned about something ( Can't remember what). Everyone left except Martin. I asked straight into the air what my greatest desire of the moment was.

There, in the round sofa we just had been sitting in lay a bouquet of roses that Martin picked up. In theme were a card that I noticed and then red once Martin had put the bouquet down again. A love full greeting that I can't remember word by word. It was signed "Sara/ maybe Hi/pi". Strange.

Then I went on with Alex to the next room in which there were a bar. I rubbed my hand together and did another RC breathing through my nose. Then Alex muttered something about the fragility of life and I tried to make him push his fingers through the palm of his hand. But it was impossible for him.

Finally we went trough a door and arrived at a bar with a Nordic theme(vikings and stuff). Around a table sat everybody. I sat down in the only empty chair next to a cute blonde girl. It was a VERY rickety chair which I pointed out. She smiled. Her brother asked loud and clear over the table if she didn't want to have my number. She did. While she got it she lost track of the number all the time as if she heard the wrong numbers from the brother all the time. Then I red the first six digits of my social security number. "

End of dream.

After this strange episode I haven't had another one. This due to the fact that I haven't tried. But tonight I will.
