Thread: Afraid of hallucinations

In that case, I'm a little annoyed at myself for throwing away two opportunities two nights in a row at LDing lol.

Thanks for your help.

I've killed an almost-successful WILD too, after experiencing the feeling of getting hit by a truck.

If you're scared try using MILD instead of WILD. According to Stephen LaBerge he used it to have Lucid Dreams at will. But I can tell you now that if you are too scared to experience SP you will be too scared to experience a lucid dream. You have to get over the fear first.

It isn't the SP that I am afraid of, its the symptoms that I have heard can go with it.

I actually determined last night that I would keep going regardless of hallucinations/SP, but I wasn't even able to go that far >_<

Your fear is totally understandable!!! I've had SP hallucinations and they're really frightening! I almost never try WILD because of this!
About the OBE thing, a lucid dream induced through WILD could be very simillar to an OBE, so could you be scared of that kind of dream?

If I was totally sure that it was just an LD, then it probably would be fine. Its mainly just the steps you need to take to reach an LD using WILD that sound a little scary to me.
I think I might need to try another method such as WBTB. Are hallucinations common while using this method?

Thanks for your help.

Ok heres what you do, dont be such a pussy. Sorry but come on man

No, you have no hallucinations if you use only this method. You wake up five or six hours after you went to sleep, then you spend some time remembering your dreams and writting them, or reading about lucid dreaming (doing a few RCs will also be helpful) and then you just go back to sleep. Sometimes you get LDs, sometimes you don't... I've induced all my LDs through this method. It may work well for you as well.
