The fear of being a child, especially one with a deep imagination, is not something to be flippant about. I wonder if parents forget or if they just didn’t know. Did you ever have visions as well? I might imagine someone with your creativity might. You may have forgotten if they didn’t linger.

Perhaps it was because I grew up in the pitch blackness of the woods but I had Level 5 CEVs since I was little so I was too concerned about the monsters surrounding my bed staring at me to look underneath.

My mom would keep saying “ its just the shadows” while I am in terror of these eyes staring at me.
