Ive not been able to lucid dream for quite a few years now. When i was young i hated the feeling, but as an adult i tried to control it. Although i was never that good at it.

But all the time i knew i was dreaming there would be a presence there in the room. When i was young i used to call it the shadow. Sometimes it would press down on my body causing what felt like real pain. I think this is what must have been the real frightening part when i was younger.

Life over the past few years for me has changed and i stopped focussing on my dreams so much, but its something that fasinates me and i will try to get back into them.

This forum is fantastic and i already feel i can relate to a lot of the things ive read.
