I was about 8 years old and I dreamed that I died and went to heaven, shortly after that I awoke. Then a week or so later I dreamed the same dream again but it progressed further to were I was in heaven in a completely dark room sitting in a corner. I remeber feeling the walls with my hands to tell that I was in a corner and scared to death to move. I also remeber the feeling of questioning why I should be afraid when I was in heaven and I had already died so the worst has already passed, but yet I was terrified. The next time I dreamed it I could see red eyes opposite of the room I was in. The next following dreams took me all the way through as it always did but adding more details and each time the eyes would get closer and closer in each dream. The last dream was that the eyes got close enough to me that I could tell it was a mean scary bear with black fang like teeth with lots of droul. I knew it wanted to eat me and yet I kept telling myself that I can't die because I am already dead and I'm in heaven or so I thought. That's when I started going to sleep everynight singing "it's only a dream" over and over until in my dream I was still singing that song clueing me in to the fact I was sleeping and from then on I have had lucid dreams. The bear never came back. I wonder why I had this dream and what in the world it was suppose to mean if anything. I also wonder why someone would have a dream in short sequences that progressed each time I dreamed it replaying everything from the begining but adding more to the story? This happend over a period of months.
