Thread: Nild

Hey there,

My first experience with lucid dreaming was as a young kid, and related to nightmares, where I did exactly the same, waking myself up.

Since having learned more about lucid dreaming though, I've managed to turn things around. Nightmares pretty much always make me lucid, but not just to wake myself up anymore. Unfortunately, I have very few of them these days, maybe because in every one I've become lucid, faced whatever fear I was having and then continued on my nightly explorations. I'd love to have more of them again, as they are one of the few garantued tickets to lucidity that I have

Ha, I forgot about this thread. I'm annoyed because I got scared in a lucid the other night (came out of a room into a gray swirling void, and panicked) and actually woke myself up out of a lucid to escape it. Instead of taking the opportunity that it presented.

Well some things are getting better; still have some work to do tho.

I'm more likely to question a good situation (win the lottery) than a nightmare while in a dream. My nightmares are rare these past few years... Anyway, I've done reality checks in nightmares, but I'm too stressed/scared to actually realize the significance of their failure! How frustrating!

Yea, something else seems to take over when things get too scary. Hopefully talking about this will remind us to stay in the dream next time it happens.

i dont really get nightmares
and wen i do, I never wake up from them. i just keep going through it.
but the thing is, my nightmares arent really wat ppl would call nightmares
theyre more disturbing than they r scary
like instead of something really scary happening, it will just be weird/creepy.
ill use a dream i had wen i was in like 3rd grade.
i was outside my school in the back, when all of a sudden it was like lava storming in the sky, and the ground remained solid, but it was cracking a bit and lava was getting everywhere
and i was just running away when there was a canvas roofed shelter with 4 support beams on the corners and no walls came up and there was a hammock in there (and this all seemed very logical to me XD) and for some reason my cousin showed up
and thats pretty much it
but i did have an even more disturbing/depressing/weird dream last night which confused me lol
but i dont feel like typing it (its alot more complex)
