For a couple of months now I have been practicing Lucid Dreaming. I've had one amazing success so far, but other times I have a stroke of luck with lucidity I'm faced with smiling dream figures (angry/crazed smiles) who go out the way to say "'You're not dreaming.', 'you have no control.', you're dead didn't you know?'" followed by twisting and contorting their bodies while l holding the smile and letting out a loud screech or ringing. These things will shock me awake, but into sleep paralysis, the unpleasant screech or high pitched ringing will remain until I'm fully in control. It happened again a day ago and I'm really trying to get it under control. I think it might in part be due to stress and anxiety, but a dream is a place I'd like to take a break from the complications of life.
