Ive not been able to lucid dream for quite a few years now. When i was young i hated the feeling, but as an adult i tried to control it. Although i was never that good at it. |

Something is always there, however, most are not made aware of it. What is given is dependent upon one's own psychological requirements. |

I suspect you may have been feeling your covers on top of you and your mind emphasized the feeling. I think Philosopher is speaking out of personal religious beliefs; I agree that you need to face whatever is bothering you and move past it. Anyway, glad to see you are enjoying the forum and the resources it provides. |

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
Ive never thought that maybe it was the covers on my bed, possibly. although sometimes this 'shadow' is at another point in the room, like its just watching me. I think like said, i have to try and face this or possibly ignore it and try and move on. It's my dream i should be able to get passed this by realising that i can do what i want. |

it could be sleep paralysis. the feeling of something pushing down on you could just be the inability to move. in my experiences when i used to have sleep paralysis a lot uncontrollably it felt like there was a scary presence in the room. i looked up the wiki thing on SP and it talks of audio and visual hallucinations and an evil presence in the room. i have definitely had audio hallucinations no visual ones though. but this could explain what youve been experiencing |

"The trick is to combine your waking rational abilities with the infinite possibilities of your dreams. Because, if you can do that, you can do anything." - waking life
I was thinking the same that if i face it all will be fine. Now just to get back to that state.. |

Next time you see the shadowy figure, instead of fearing and hating it, inject all your love into it |
