I don't know where to begin. I think I've been experiencing OBEs all my life, but didn't know it. The past six or seven years, I was secretly convinced I was being haunted by a demon, or cursed...something paranormal that I couldn't explain, nor deny.
I always had "flying dreams" as a kid, I could control them to the point of when, where and how. I still have the ability to will myself to sleep, even when I'm not feeling tired. But when I turned 13, the year my stepfather passed away, I think was when my flying dream ability left me.
I'm now 39 and seven years ago, shortly after the birth of my son, I began experiencing lucid dreams. I would say half of these are absolutely terrifying. Usually I encounter some very scary entities, and the best way to describe what happens is, they chase me back to my body, or back to the awakened state, when I always wake up screaming.

I guess I'm seeking help to understand what is happening? How do I control this, and more importantly, to know I'm not crazy.
