Hi everyone!
I just stumbled on this website after reading about it on another forum. I am developing an interest in lucid dreaming again because of some interesting experiences recently.
As a child, I dreamed frequently and vividly, and I found it hard to distinguish between reality and my dreams. I was able to control some of my dreams and fly, but I haven't flown in a really long time.
These days I still have vivid dreams, and I usually remember them, taking note of unusual ones. But I am very afraid sometimes, even afraid to fall asleep.
Last week I had an experience of being awake almost all night long (trying to get to sleep, drifting in and out of consciousness), and all of a sudden my entire body started buzzing/vibrating while I was lying on my side. This scared me because I did not want to have an OBE (due to fear) and I started praying and the feeling suddenly went away.
I also had a dream in which I was in a dimly lit apartment in which the light switch would not turn on. In my dream I realized, "Oh, no .... I'm dreaming!" I was not happy with this realization and I felt like I was being watched in the apartment, like someone was watching me through the blinds. The dream shifted into another dream.
I am looking forward to checking out the tutorials. Any tips or insight on dealing with fear would be much appreciated. I don't if I should have posted this somewhere else on this forum...
Thanks!
