Thread: New here.. Got my story and some questions!

Hello everyone!

So my story, it's a little bit fussy because I can't remember exactly. But here goes:
When I was a kid I used to have nightmares alot. I'm not sure if it was a during a period of time or if it was every night. But I had very weird and scary nightmares which all ended by me waking up, covering myself with the cover/blanket and crying for my mom. She woke me up.

I remember once when playing SNES at a friends house, there was a boss who had snakes in her hair. I think it has to do with some mythology. Anyway when I went home I imagined her chasing me. The night after I had dream about hands with 3 fingers sticking out from the floor.
Another time I had a dream about playing in a parking space with some trees around, with ladders so I could climb up. There was a squeaking(my window in the room was open and made a noise because of the wind) there was also a voice saying "The witch is coming" but in my language(Swedish). I did my routine to stop it, covering myself and calling for mom. I wasn't even ten years old.

So I'm 24 years now and I have noticed that I sometimes realize I'm dreaming, sometimes I wake up and then falls back to sleep remembering my dream and going back to the same dream. I think I may even have had dreams about dreaming. I found out about Lucid Dreaming earlier today.

I can still have bad dreams and good dreams, not long ago I felt paralyzed in a dream. I had no control afaik. After that dream, another night i had a dream about being chased by first one weird character, I had a gun and a sword fighting back but could only stop the character for a moment to escape. Then as if it was another dream there where two similar character of the same kind, but i woke up. Had no weapons this time.

The dream last night was odd, in it I woke up because it felt like something crashed into the house

Can this end? If not, how can I become good at controlling my dreams so that I do not have to wake up scared? Is there a shorter road to take? I'm guessing no.

Sorry for the long rant.
