#4-When I was 5 I woke up one night unable to move or scream with a shadowy figure exuding pure evil standing over me
#5-Only once when I was five.
#6-I've had lucid fragments less than a month ago, but my last longish coherent lucid dream was less than a year ago
#7-Almost never
#8-Taken from my DJ entry: " *Blackness* Then, a tunnel of light rushes towards me and I'm standing on a road by two buildings. A vast expanse of water lies before me. I already know I'm dreaming and I stand in the middle of the street trying to think of what to do. I see a stop sign to my left and decide to go over and touch it. It feels cool to the touch and is nicely rounded. Then I walk towards the water.
*I feel my waking body move and decide to try stabilizing my dream*
I rub my hands together but I can still feel my physical body
I then think that to forget about my physical body i have to get caught up in the dream. I then leap into the air and... get stuck mid air because I realize I don't know how to fly. I try willing myself forward but the dream starts becoming blurry and then It just slips away and... I wake up."
#9-Only after I heard about the concept did I have my first LD
#10-DILD
#11-Several minutes
#12-less vivid than reality
#13-Lucid dreaming allows escape from reality. Just like a good book or movie will make you forget about your body, so will a good dream.
