So last night I was tucking Emily in and she revealed to me how afraid she is all night long because of the monster under the bed.  She told me she is afraid to go to the bathroom at night (her room comes with a bathroom so it’s very close), and when she really has [...]

People often tell me stories of being afraid of going to sleep at night because they either fear, or know, they are going to have a negative experience.  Perhaps it’s an encounter with a negative entity, sleep paralysis, the monster under the bed, or just plain fear of the dark.  Sometimes it’s an irrational fear, [...]

I’ve had many dreams where I’ve felt I was being taught and trained by conscious beings.  For what purpose, I was never sure, though I have an inkling now.  One night during my late teen years, I had a powerful dream I’d like to share because it had a profound effect on me that has [...]
