Thread: Should I be scared of SP, or more specifically, alarming 'presences' and hallucinations?

Thanks everyone so much for your advice. It's weird, I honestly can't remember having any dreams for the last four or five years. As a kid, every dream I had was a nightmare, and an incredibly horrifying one. I'd have them nearly every night. I think somehow my brain taught itself to block the nightmares after a while, or at least forget them. But yeah, that all stopped a few years back, and I've never dreamed since. Maybe some of the techniques on this site will allow me to dream again, maybe even good dreams!

Welcome!!!
let me tell you about my first wild
I got to sp and then heard a sound that wasnt scary at all (kinda like air coming out of a tank)
But anyway so when i first heard it i thought holy crap someones here i have to go help my sister. I seriously almost shit my self. i then realized "Wait, these sounds arent real" the scaryness was gone imeaditly.
So my advice is if you get scared tell your self its not real and you will be fine.

@Spenser, thanks for the welcome. It's really cool that you instantly thought to help your sister. I tell you, I would try to think of a way to direct the intruder to my brother's room, then I'd run away! Thanks for the advice, I'll keep it in mind.

Yeah the key is that none of it is real.

On a different note, I have read stories of people meeting the Old Hag in whatever form and trying to make friends with her. Invariably they said it left/died/exploded/whatever. The point being that it didn't trouble them anymore.

Also, I've heard you dream every single night you go into REM. Most likely you just forget your dreams or have really bad recall like I do. Try keeping a notepad and pen by your bed so if you wake up in the night (which is when you remember your dreams the best) you can write them down quickly. And if you get lucky, you might be able to DEILD while you're at it. I can't tell you how many times I've written down my dreams right when I woke up, and then the next morning I read a bunch of stuff I didn't even remember writing in my DJ - it's really helped my dream recall.
