Thread: Juggling and Nightmare induced LD

When inducing a lucid dream, I go for the nightmare induced LD. In having a nightmare, I generally remember it because it is usually traumatizing/disturbing enough that its fairly hard to forget. Now, I like to watch scary movies and have a wild imagination, so I think of an outrageous monster/situation (monster because it is an easy dream sign) that is scary so I can remember it, but weird enough to recognize it. As soon as I do a reality check, I just dispose of the problem and do whatever. I would recommend this technique to people who have had nightmare trouble and have fixed it. There are problems with this though, from what I see: Forcing oneself into a nightmare isn't necessarily healthly, especially if one can't recognize its not real. Longterm use I think, might lead to slight paranoia; (and I don't mean serious clinical paranoia complete with hallucinations). I mean, it can lead to the user being fairly jumpy, like me. I always watch my back, because as a kid, I couldn't tell my nightmares from real life (with some night terrors thrown in). As a final word, this might be just for the desperate. Happy dreaming, and be careful in your dream world.


Also, if someone were to be a brave second person guinea pig for me, I would like to know how their experience was, so I could modify this technique or something.
