A lot of horror dreams lately, but they sometimes raise awareness. What raises your awareness?
Lately I have been having a lot of horror dreams.
At least 3 times in the past 7 days I recall aspects of a game called outlast except im living it. Every time i am being chased or hiding, and its almost routine now. i run through the environment non-lucid so i dont know what is coming, slamming doors on my pursuers to slow them down. Its not that i even feel fear from them, its just I know what I have to do to be safe and just do what i would do in real life if i was being chased, just put objects and obstacles between me and the people chasing me(parkour/freerunning!).
I had a lot of scary dreams a long time ago would scare me and i would realize i was dreaming but I did not know of lucid dreams then and thought my awareness was just there so i could wake up from it. now if it actually scared me i could become lucid and take control! Weird but fear must highten my awareness to the strangeness of the situation better than anything else. "Sleep Paralysis" happened a lot when i was young and it scared me, now i look for it because i can just ride them out to my LD!
what emotions drive you into awareness well?
heres the one I had from last night, a outlast themed one. it was long but i lost a big chunk of it when i woke but remember that last scene.
