Recurring lucid dream as a child of the same eyeless creature.
I've always been a vivid dreamer, and I also have the ability to lucid dream. Some of my earliest memories as a very young child were waking up screaming because I could see things in the bedroom that weren't there.
My mum would walk in and say she would see me with my eyes wide open and standing up in my cot. I would be very distressed. I distinctly remember an eyeless man who looked almost human like, naked but with no distinctive features other than two empty eye sockets.
As I got older, I began to lucid dream. The dream was always exactly the same. I would be sitting bolt upright in my bed, and the door would slowly creak open. The eyeless man would slowly walk in. He would walk in an abnormal way, sort of twitching his shoulders really fast and this used to terrify the living daylights out of me.
Sometimes there was several. I always had a terrible feeling in the dream that he was there. I would get out of bed (aware something was wrong) and instead of walking in through the bedroom door, he would be standing silently in the toy corner. Just writing this gives me shivers. The older I got, the less frequent it became.
What made it even scarier was that despite the apparent emptiness to the sockets, I knew it could see.
Eventually the dreams stopped altogether. I never could explain why I dreamt it. I'd never seen this creature on TV or in any books. It was only ever when I was asleep.
