Thread: Has Anyone Ever Felt That Fear Was Preventing Them From Having A Ld?

don't be afraid of the dream world. you're the got in LD.[/b]

keep telling yourself thats its going to be an amazing experience and eventually you should get over you fear.[/b]

I have never felt fear in a lucid dream.[/b]

Neither have I. You just have to understand what dreams are.[/b]

I would go for it if it is only fear that is holding you back.[/b]

Based on my responses, I'm hearing...

Correct?

Good summary I think it's spot-on.

You can be as boring as or wild as you want in an LD. If you want to sit there and weave a basket the whole time - well, do it! You can do whatever your little heart desires - that's the whole point. Next time you're lucid, just try to calm yourself down, lean against a wall and take a couple breaths. Know that you are in control of everything. Then just walk around your environment and observe everything - look at all the detail. You can even wake yourself back up if you wanted to (though I wouldn't recommend it! )

This is a good opportunity to conquer the 'fear of fear itself.' Don't worry, you'll get used to the sensation with practice. I've got faith in you!
