You too Lance? Don't worry, it's not a life endangering condition. And it rarely ever happen  to me now to the point I was quite startled to see an 'old friend' after so many years  on the side of my bed a couple of nigths ago. Never had troubles with having my chest squeezed to be unable to breath though. About the Shadow People though, they are just glitches, as the brain is trying to make a visual image of your peripheral vision and is doing it by memory and guessing, so it often end with 'Artifacts' resulting in shadowy figures, the likes you get on your photo camera.

For lucid or even induced dreaming, I was quite the expert before, but I don't indulge my brain into those higher states of escapism anymore. I could dream of what I wanted, but my success was not 100% to be honest. Still it worked the best with what my brain knew well about /Don't judge me folks/, I had best results with dreaming of  Evangelion, it was 10 and more years ago.
