Horror movies to induce lucid dreaming

**Ekyu** · 08-01-2012 12:22 AM

I was thinking about lucid dreaming, and reading this forum a little bit. It seems that a lot of people are able to get lucid if they have a nightmare. So, what if you watch a really scary movie just before you go to bed, and keep thinking a little bit about it. This doesn't guarantee a nightmare, but it should increase the chances quite a bit.

And like i said, some people seem to get lucid quite easy in a nightmare. So watching a scary movie before you go to bed, should increase the chances of u becoming lucid. Just was something i was randomly thinking about, and i thought i would share this little idea with you lovely people.

I wouldn't put to mutch time/hope in this idea, but i was just wondering what you guys think about it.

It honestly is a great method. Nightmare Disorder is a recurring problem in my family. My oldest sister managed to naturally lucid dream by recognizing that she was so unbelievably scared that it had to be a dream. I haven't had any luck doing this. I tend to just wake up with tears in my eyes.

The other problem is the fact that there aren't any horror movies that are THAT good.

I found some of the Saw movies to be good, and I loved the movie The Devil Inside. It's quite interesting. Lol
This is a good idea though, I've been scared in my dream running from someone, then I realized I was dreaming. It was an interesting Lucid dream. But I became more lucid than I have in past lucid dreams.

Even if I watch scary stuff, even scary things in my dreams don't freak me out. I never get nightmares

I have the same thing like you, but this idea is not for everybody. But maybe some people may find it usefull, and give it a shot! If so, let me know how it goes.

I did this. I watched 250 horror films last summer. [i'm fine thanks.]
It worked. I got lucid through being attacked in a dream.

Hmm... maybe it's possible. In a nightmare people tent to say "It's a dream, this is not real!".

I would not use nightmares to induce lucid dreams, as it is just plain unhealthy and unreliable unless you have some nightmare recurring disorder. I would stick to the common lucid dreaming methods, as they increase your chances of having a lucid dream too, without the scary monsters in your dreams xD
