Thread: New here, curious.

Hey there all. Firstly let me tell you what a fascinating forum this is. I'm interested in looking in to this whole lucid dreaming concept. Although I'm not sure if I will try initiate one yet or not. Don't like the idea of SP. Although I believe I may have already have had 2 cases of it before. Even though I wasnt paralysed so to speak.

These dreams, or nightmares rather happened at a very young age for me. I'm now 18, these nightmares happened when I was well below 7, maybe even around 4 or 5.
Both of them are so clear to me and I can still recall them to this day.
The first one I had at 4 or 5, I was asleep (I think) and I was having a nightmare. This man was behind bars, like the type you see in a wild west sheriffs office. He was telling me some stuff what was going to happen to family members of mine. The terrifying part of it all for me back then was waking up and still have this man talking to me.

The second dream I had when I was a few years older. This was one of the most terrifying moments I have ever experienced. Same situation again, dreaming of vampires chasing me and closing in on me, I suddenly am half out of the dream, although they are still closing in on me, coming up the stairs, in the window, next thing I know I'm sitting on my toilet seat screaming and crying.

Nowadays though I don't really have nightmares, or If I do, they really dont affect me at the time or in the morning. I do have the odd vivid dream that I can recall a lot, never though have I been able to control an element of a dream though. At least that I'm aware off.

Well excuse my blabbering, hope to spend some time here, learning some new info and hopefully sharing some back too.
