Thread: (split from topic) New Dreamer

I just joined, and have had some pretty weird experiences myself. i'm in my dream, but there's nothing there. so i try to go to sleep in my dream, but i get in my bed and its like something's pressing down on top of me. thank god it'd not real because i'd probably be crushed by it by now

Welcome to DV, Q! I hope you enjoy yourself here and if you have any questions feel free to ask.

It sounds that you've been experiencing FAs (False Awakenings), where you think you're awake but you're still just in a dream. The pressure that you feel is often associated with what's called "Old Hag". If you'd like to hear from other people about it, you can check out this post: Problem With Old Hag.

I hope this was helpful. Sweet Lucid Dreams!
