      Help! How to Stop Lucid Dreams for awhile

      I know this is a strange thing to request. I Lucid dream way toooooo much and it's driving me to the point of fatigue. I now am aware of when I am falling asleep. When I am entering the dream state I am darkness and then I see moving scenes before me. I choose one scene and boom I am in that dream but in a lucid state. It's so strange because I actually feel myself tremble a bit. I also hear a noise. A noise I just can't place. Like almost a sound coming from a machine. A constant vibrating, humming sound. It's not loud just enough to bug the heck out of me. Has anyone had this? I tried drawing what a see in my dreams and also writing the dream into stories. But it doesn't work. I just wake up tired. I know it seems like everyone wants to lucid dream I don't. Not all my lucid states are nice. I can wake myself up at any time in them it's just horrible to see horrid things and remember them so clearly because you were lucid. I dream too much I have an average of about 5 to 7 dreams I recall a night. If someone has any suggestions I would love to have a senseless dream dream. One where I don't know who I am or where I am. In fact I would love to be able to not recall a dream for just one night. God that would be bliss. I want a non sensless non lucid dream. :-(

      Alcohol is supposed to have an effect on recall, but I don't drink so I wouldn't know. Weed/Hash on the other hand, I can attest that it has a big impact on dream recall, certainly for me. Just make sure to do some research on anything you're considering taking and don't get into doing any drug on a regular basis!!

      I wouldn't encourage anyone to experiment with drugs but they can have a big impact on your dream recall and used responsibly most can be relatively safe. Maybe someone else knows of some less active substances that inhibit recall and/or lucidity?

      No Dreaming

      That is interesting. But I don't think I will experiment with it though except I guess it won't hurt to have an occassional beer and see what happens :-) Thanks for the post. :-)

      Okay, before you do something you'll regret, please listen to me...

      What you are expriencing is completely natural, it is hypnagognic imagery. You are unconconciously using the "W.I.L.D." technique where you enter your dream lucid from the awake state. If you do not like the sensations of going to sleep consciously, just do not pay attention to the things you see. Just get caught up thinking about something else and you will forget about it. Also, because you are lucid enough you can train yourself not to see bad pictures and such so you will have a better experience while lucid. When you learn to do this, you will wake up feeling better than you ever would while not lucid.

      It worked :-)

      Thanks for your reply. It helped. At least so far since I read your post. I do feel better in the morning. What I have been thinking of at sleep time are art works I am trying to recall in exact detail. Or I try to recall a bunch of definition to words I am learning. Nonsense to keep myself busy while trying to sleep.

      While I see the images on the onset of sleep I am trying to focus on counting and wow it works. Ignoring the images by counting has helped and viewing imagery while onset of sleep has helped me to slip into the dream world for a little bit. At least now I am not so extremely tired.

      Thanks for your reply. :-)
