nope he has no idea i even come 2 this site lol

Don't bring it up again, unless he mentions it first. If he does, don't refer to it as "lucid dreaming," but as "realizing when you are dreaming," because it sounds less different (and to the superstitious, less intimidating and mystical). Tell him that many people (even children) realize they are dreaming naturally during some nightmares. Tell him that it has been studied intensely over the past decade, and no ill side-effects have ever been recorded. Tell him that because realizing when you are dreaming is so rare, you won't have them very often even if you practice, so it cannot hinder any natural dream processes.

Of course, some parents can't be talked to with common sense. If the above doesn't work, try the below:

So? Do it anyway. It's not like he's going to find out, unless you are blatant about reality checks. Nobody can tell you how to dream. Hide your journal (perhaps on the computer), or put your lucids in code (don't mention lucidity, but put a symbol by the date indicating you were lucid).

My thoughts are, you were too flagrant about lucid dreaming. You can't go up to a superstitious type and be all "I'm practicing lucid dreaming so that I can be the God of the dream world," and think that they won't caution you.

Well thats too bad. Your dad seems to be this kind of person who won't change his mind. at least thats my suggestion for what you told, I can't be sure.

My dad is/was similar everytime he would see me trying something extraordinary (I'm really interested in paranormal stuff like telekinesis and telepathy) he said thats nonsense and should do that because wouldn't work.

My suggestion is you try it without him knowing. If you have to tell someone, then just tell about how your dream was and what you did and don't mention that you purposely where controling the dream. If you have really good control and get extremely excited to telling someone then just mention that it was very vivd and you can remeber any detail

And for your first question: As far as I know there is nothing evil about it. I really think you should talk about it with your father. Why he thinks it is evil and how he got the idea. Maybe he had bad experiences himself, but this doesn't mean you'll have the same.

Hope this is helping

There are two main reasons why he is pretty much wrong here:

1. During a dream (known as a REM period), the body is paralyzed. Sleepwalking occurs during deep sleep (NREM periods), not dreams.
2. During hypnosis, you are actually fully conscious, but completely relaxed and focused. When hypnotized, you can reject whatever suggestions you don't want to do. Hypnosis is not a form of mind control.

ok but can some one help me with my recall it crap now a days

what helped me was auto suggestion. When going to bed just say to yourself "I will remember my dreams" you can also just think these words it doesn't matter, but the more you think or say them the better

Alsao try eating peanuts. I had my first recall for months after eating peanuts

Did you try...just doing it without telling him? How would he know? Unless you think he's psychic or something.

By the way, I'm getting blaring warning signs here the way you describe him. It sounds like he's abusing you. You might want to move out as soon as humanly possible.
