Lately when I wake up in the morning and start recalling my dreams, sometimes I remember dreams where everything was just like any other dream except for some weird “feeling” like something evil was watching me or nearby. Ive never had this happen before, and its happened with maybe 4-5 dreams so far.
I also recalled one dream where I was “fighting” some evil dream monster thing, but I assume that happened because i’ve been thinking about this lately.
Could it have something to do with stress?
None of these dreams were lucid, and as far as I know I didnt recognize the feeling while dreaming, only afterwards while recalling them.
Probably nothing to worry about - weird stuff happens all the time in dreams. Don’t worry about it - and if you do get lucid while this thing is around, destroy it - I have a belief that in all my dreams, all monsters are highly flammable, so I can just burn them to ashes. As I said, just try not to get worked up about it - and if you get lucid, torch that thing! >:)
But yeah, dreams have all kinds of weird stuff in them. I’m pretty sure that as you (or anyone for that matter) begin to improve your recall you’ll find all kinds of weird things. For all you know that feeling has always been there, it’s just you’ve only just been able to recognize it and recall it.
[color=green] Yea I guess it is normal to face monsters but about that evil presence you sense…Try finding it and solving that problem within an LD. You could negotiate with it demolish it whichever you choose.[/color]
[color=green]Absolutely. This makes me want to start a Lucid Kombat thread of techniques or methods of self defense in LD’s.[/color]
That is a common occurrence and I don’t think it’s stress related. There are tons of reports of people feeling a presence during dreams, especially during sleep paralysis (me included). The most common thing is a hag/ witch, but it can vary. I think it’s linked to the mind perceiving an inability to move, and therefore being susceptible to threat. It’s nothing to worry about; think during the day ‘If I get scared or sense something scary I will do a reality check’.
Koharo: You could. Perhaps you should try out for the Scribes and get it posted in the FAQs. If you don’t want to join the scribes you could type it up and I could get it in the FAQs for you if you wish.
