I have been reading some of the posts on this site. Interesting...... I talked to the doctor some years back because I was having bad dreams and she told me that I was lucid dreaming. I have also talked to other family members that do it. All of us it feels like it is a bad thing (evil)? I tried to do everything in the world to wake up or should I say to get up out of bed. I could not move, or do anything. It always felt like it was a bad thing. Something evil or that was not good. I have read today that when you are dreaming you are paralyzed. That is how I am, because I am so awake but I can not move! Did any of you start out this way? I have read posting on here of other people having experience just like mine saying it feels evil or bad. So what is the best way to convert them into a good experience?

So I have tried to control it but it has been to over powering of an evil thing and it scares me. I really had not thought about it for some time. It had been 6 or 7 months since I have done this. Well, last night it happened again. I was a sleep this time there was more to it than me just trying to wake up, and feeling evil things that where trying to poses me or something. This time there was a big cat that was laying on me, I could not get up or yell or anything! It took about 2 minutes (guessing) and then I was all the way awake. When I wake up I am spinning and tumbling? Does this sound like I am lucid dreaming, but I just can not control it? I find that I do this when I am sleeping in uncomfortable conditions. Like when I am at a friend’s house or a hotel or it is too hot? Stuff like that sets it off for me. And normally starts just as I fall a sleep.
