Subtitle: The unwritten chapter.
Good day readers,
I trust that you are doing well.
For a long time now I haven't been around. Mainly life happens and with it more stories to tell.
Lately... however I found myself being trapped in dreams.
For those of you who are new to lucid dreaming, be aware that a lot of people will spend a lot of time selling you a load of BS on what the subject is, what it does to the brain and how the brain reacts to this state.
Reality is, lucid dreaming is scary as all hell. Why? Simply because many people enjoy it, doesn't mean that it doesn't have a dark side to it. It does. It is very very unsettling and mainly overwhelming at times.
A great many people want to be in control of their dreams simply because they can be "gods" in their dreams. They can do anything and basically get away with it.
But any mind has a dark side. The side that people don't show to the world. The side that wants to do bad things. Now within ourselves is the ability to do great and wonderful things, the other side of this coin is also true. The ability to do dark and extremely messed-up things.
What people don't tell you about lucid dreaming is that lines get blurry at times. More to the point I found myself trapped at times. Yes, believe it or not I was dreaming but was unable to wake up.
I was lucid dreaming and yes it comes very naturally to me. I realized that I couldn't wake up. It was a total nightmare and other aspects of my mind was also at work. Not only was it at work, it created a nightmare so real that I forgot that I was in a dream.
In this state I realized that my mind wasn't completely my own. Demon-like characters that were acting as if they had their own will. Not only their own will but also the ability to change shape and size. Changing into things that were beyond my own imagination.
When these 'things' saw me, they would react violently and I realized that I had virtually no power to fight them or protect myself against them. Their claws were very sharp and I could feel it against my actual skin. The pain was real so was the adrenaline.
Within this state of panic I realized that YES this was a dream BUT it was also very real and of my own making. Within my dream I questioned myself as to why this was happening.
It is no secret that I do have misplaced negative feelings towards myself. Because of this, my dreams reflected my emotional state in a way that was uncontrollable and harmful.
But is it just me?
The answer to this question is found in statistics. The first statistic I looked at was how many people need psychological assistance. The second statistic was how many people practice self-harm. I have concluded that we as human beings do create an image of self-harm and or self-hate within our dream state.
I will continue to explore this more later on.
Thank you for reading
