I found your link and your right Laura our experiences are extreamly simlar.....how odd.
When i was very young i hated going to bed. I remember having tantrums and hanging on to the banister at the bottom and physically having to be dragged up to bed even if i was exhausted. I was terrified of the things in the house. I knew were there but that's different stories. The main reason was i did'nt like to go to sleep. The second i closed my eyes i would wake again in bed in the same situation in which id fallen to sleep but i knew i was asleep. My ears would ring and thump, my heart would race and i knew, i had to flee. I would be chased by a tall thing in a long black cloak, big black hood covering its face and carring what i now know to be a cicle. I would run out of my room down the stairs and hide in the recess below the stairs in the fetal position and rock backward's and forwards as the thumping in my ears and head got louder, the closer he got the louder it became. It never chased me fast, just walked slowly behind me. I knew if i did'nt wake up before it got to me i would die and never wake up again. I always managed to wake my self up and this continued every night for years and years, right back to as far as i can remember and i think i was 10 the last time i had this nightmare. The last time was the only time i woke in a different location to where id fallen asleep (in my dream) It was my grandmas house. I woke (in reality) obviously where i had fallen asleep in my own bed at home. I now know that the thing in my dreams is what is referred to as the grimm reaper. I mentioned it to my father once and he told me that the grimm reaper was a messenger of the devil and he only came to collect the soul's of evil people. Other theories are that hes the angel of death in general. Its strange that even as a child, before i knew who he was, i knew id die if i did'nt wake before he got to me.
It would be interesting to see if anyone else has had any simlar experiences or if im the only one and what it could mean. Or just any theories of the grimm reaper his self. All theories are welcome and encouraged no matter how mundane or extreme.
Thanks Lucy.
