Hello! I just started getting interested in Lucid Dreaming a few days ago, same as you have. It's a pleasure to meet someone just starting out like myself.

Yeah, it is freaky how a dream journal can help you remember, I don't know why it works so well. I guess it's just because we're thinking more about dreams now. I remember that a few days ago before I read an article on lucid dreaming I'd never thought much about my dreams, I pretty much took them for granted.

Hmmm, that's why I don't like scary movies because for a long time afterwards I'll always go around a corner expecting to run into a monster or something. I'm 16 and I still get jumpy at night after watching something scary so it's nothing wierd to me. Maybe if you see her in a lucid dream you can grab a flashlight or something stronger(*cough*submachinegun)and drive her away. You got the power, so I'm sure there's something that you could do that may even get rid of her once and for all.

I've heard of sleep paralysis but I don't know specifically what it is. Is it when you feel numb all over and you can't move real good? Or is that something different?

Welcome to this fine establishment, it's been a lot of fun for me since I signed up, I hope you have as good an experience here as me.
