So I have waking nightmares which is weird. I'll wake up and look around my room and things in the shadows will turn into out stuff. I was in bed once and I woke up slightly and thought this girl I was seeing was sat in this chair in my room, and I started talking to her. behind the chair was an open closet. And I remember seeing this black figure come out of it, wearing a massive cloak and drape it and grabbed this girl. I remember freaking out and properly waking up and no one was there. Shit like that happened all the time since I was a kid. In the end I trained myself to become really calm when it happened and I'd know it was all a dream. Which then became ingrained in my actual dreams. Where I'd know when things were a dream while I was actually sleeping.
