Ok, this post is going to be somewhat opposite of the majority of the posts on this site but I need help from people who know what they're talking about.
I have been lucid dreaming on and off ever since I was a child and as a child I would sleepwalk from time to time. I am 20 now and last year I thought it would be fun to try and refine my abilities with lucid dreaming. I did some research here as well as other sites and learned all about induction techniques and son on. Obviously laziness got the best of me and I gave up after a while. Then around 2 months ago I began to have a massive spike in the amount of lucid dreams I have.
I achieve lucidity on an average of four times per week. I should seem ecstatic but the dreams themselves are always quite negative. It always begins with a false awakening in my room, from there I always either am paralyzed in my bed or float up to the ceiling. There is usually a dark cloud all around and the pressure it exerts on my "body" is immense. That dream is then followed by 4 to 9 false awakenings, all neutral or negative, yet I remain in control. I check for device failure with my television, In fact last night the light burned out and I could see and smell the smoke rising. I am pretty scared right now and could use some good advice. Thanks!
