So, I had somehow gotten this idea that dreams were not just in your head and the problems I was having with OCD were because of a demon. Don't laugh please. My cat had a heart attack and died shortly after a strange dream and after reading in a book, the title I don't recall, that dreams were really astral plane events and that even if you seen movie characters that was just how you were experiencing astral spirits or entities.

At any rate, I can't seem to rid myself of this fear and this idea that dreams are not 'just in your head' and that could also be why it is so hard to control the dreams or get lucid, as we all have experienced.

I also feel like I am being watched sometimes because there seems to be this man or someone in the form of a man who appears regularly.

Also, many months ago I had this strange dream where I was parcially lucid and got up from my bed and with my eyes closed, yet I could still see, I was dancing to some music and then when I opened my eyes there was a rotting corpse right in my face staring at me. When I woke the image was so strong in my mind I could see the face everytime I closed my eyes and I felt a strong burning in my brain somewhere around the forehead. Once I was awake I wasn't scared but I wonder why I had that dream.

What do you all think?
