On both occasions I used it before sleeping in the night and actually fell asleep latter part of the meditation. The dream was similar----I was in an unfamiliar house and when I stepped in to an area near a window I suddenly felt gripped by a scary feeling, like a force that I can't move or talk. The other dream was similar I also suddenly can't move and feels very scared like a force gripping me.
Is this part of the reaction? I've never had any kind of experience with meditation of any kind before.
Thanks.

Hi there and welcome to the community
First of all, can you tell me if you are using a meditation technique while listening to LifeFlow and if so, what type of technique are you using?
It sounds like you have some supressed emotions that need to surface, giving you the opportunity to release them.
I have mentioned in previous threads about three very emotional dreams I have woke up from with a feeling of dread and fear.
I know I have released supressed emotions with these.
If I had have had dreams like this in the past, before LF and meditation, I would have probably just cuddled up to my husband and thanked God it was only a bad dream.
Because I had practised accepting and observing the feelings within my body through day to day life, when I felt hurt or angry, I learned to deal with situations more and more consciously.
So when I woke up with the first bad dream, I realized this was an opportunity to observe the feelings and sensations that were taking place in my body. I felt literally paralysed with fear and it really took great courage to just curiously watch and accept these feelings.
I remember clearly thinking - what if this feeling that seems to be moving down my spine paralyses me. It took about ten minutes for it to go I think but it seemed a long time.
When it had gone I knew that I had released some deep suppressed emotions that dealt with abandonment and betrayal. It was so important to me that I got up (it was 5 a.m.) and wrote about the dream filling 3 pages of A4 paper.
When the other two dreams occured I knew to do the same with them.
It's important not to focus on the story and your mind will try to get you involved with the actual story. All you need to do is accept and observe the sensation in your body. Focusing on the sensation of any supressed emotion, allows it to be released.
Even if you only manage 10 minutes a day meditating with LifeFlow, you will soon begin to notice the difference in your day to day life
I hope this is of help and I wish you much peace and joy
