Look Out For Imps

My dream self is kind of obsessed with demons. I think it comes from all the years I've had encountering them in my dreams. They're really not fun at all, but I've had to deal with them in the dreams or they keep coming back. If I don't put a stop to a demon I meet then I'll keep having recurring dreams about it until I do something to stop it. So I'm constantly on the lookout for them.

My most recent dream is an aggravating kind that I've had before. It involves, kind of, a particularly annoying, and I mean annoying and not as scary as some others, kind of demon I've come to know that I call imps.

These imps are ugly little guys with pale skin and young faces. The reason for the pale skin is because they are somehow related to maggots. They have very sharp teeth and they like to suck out your soul by biting your back. They swear they're not vampires. The first thing you feel if you're lying on your side is something lying there behind you. You sometimes think it's something familiar, but then you realize it couldn't be. It's hard to turn around and confront it or fight it because you are asleep.

One of the things these imps like to do to me is snatch the covers off of me. I keep thinking I feel my blankets being pulled off of me. The actual scary and even strange part is that I have woken up at some of those times to find my blankets lying at the foot of my bed on the floor. It must have been pretty hard for me to get them there in my sleep.

Well, this particular dream I recently had is one where I thought maybe some of these imps had come into my bedroom and were watching me from the corners of the room as I slept. I kept looking up to see what was there. Of course I was asleep this whole time. Whenever I'd look at the room I'd realize that this wasn't really the same room I was actually sleeping in. The arrangement of all the furniture was different.

It was really aggravating though because I kept sensing movement in the room and I kept sensing them watching me. But every time I'd look there was nothing there. And I knew even in the dream that there really was nothing there. I haven't seen any of these imps in several years. But I'm always on the lookout for them or any other kind of demon. They can ruin your sleep and ruin your mood the next day.

After awhile I finally realized there were no imps there. It was just my imagination. I was just having a little trouble getting some actual sleep. When I finally knew there wasn't going to be any trouble I was able to get some good dreamless sleep. Always the best kind for me. I really hate the feeling of being watched when I'm sleeping.

    I am glad after your dream you knew there wasn't going to be any trouble that you could go back to a good night dreamless sleep.

      Sometimes it's just solving those little problems in the dream that makes it better for me to be able to sleep.

Checking For Demons

I found myself standing there in what I think of as the Dream World. I was in a house that seemed very familiar but I didn't think I had really ever been there before. I quickly began to think that something was very wrong. Something bad was happening. I looked around to find out if I could see what was wrong. That's when I saw a closed door in one of the walls of the room. That's when I thought maybe I knew what was wrong, what was bad. Demons! My dream self knows demons very well. I've learned how to fight them and defeat them. You never want to see a demon of this kind in your dreams. They don't look like monsters or anything like that. They look like very evil and ugly, distorted humans. They are the scariest, most dangerous things you might ever encounter. I have to say that I used to be terrified of these things, but I learned a long time ago not to have any fear of them. They feed on fear. Once I learned that all my fear vanished and I learned that the...

Automatic Writing

I wasn't going to write this dream down at first because it kind of disturbed me. But then I remembered that this is the exact kind of dream that I'm supposed to write about. It was also kind of a difficult decision because my dreams have been a bit murky lately so they're too hard to remember. That makes it kind of hard too, but let's try with this one anyway. So here it is. I remember sitting in a house I had just moved into. It was kind of dark and shadowy in the house so I knew this wasn't going to be a positive experience. I was reading a self improvement book, which I often do. I like looking for techniques to make myself a better me. But this particular book was getting a little strange. The book was suggesting that I try a thing called automatic writing, which is a technique where a person uses alleged psychic ability allowing a person to produce written words without consciously writing. You hold a pen or pencil to paper while not paying conscious atte...

Was It Really A Dream?

Here's a short dream of a kind that I get way too often. I'm sometimes not even sure if these things are real dreams or something even more strange. Read on to find out why. I was lying there peacefully sleeping when I felt somebody messing with my blankets. It was down around where my feet were. I was still mostly asleep so all I could do was mumble to whoever it was to leave me alone. That didn't work at all, and I continued to feel my blankets being messed with. I was able to rouse myself slightly more, which was not much. Even though I was still mostly asleep, I was able to lift my head enough to see down at the foot of the bed. Everything looked blurry and dreamy because I just wasn't awake enough to function any more than that. The significant thing I saw when I looked down there was that my blanket was being lifted about two feet off the bed by an invisible hand. It really looked like my blanket was being lifted in one spot right above my feet. The strang...
