- It's not that the dreams frighten me. They involve a lot of sensory
- detail and The feeling of dying is usually very clear (sometimes my
- life just slips away and sometimes it leaves in a rush, but it's
- always the same type of feeling just at different speeds), but I
- proceed through the dream in a very non-lucid state. I never know
- quite what the hell is going on until I'm actually dying, and
- sometimes not even then. The sole exception is the dream where I
- get chewed to death by the fangs of big, hairy tarantulas, but all
- the others are just puzzling and tend to rob me of sleep. Any
- other ideas (though I will try what you said about thinking of being
- chewed up by large spiders as not scary).
