In a recent post on this forum a dreamer posted about dream characters, who are ruled by her subconscious, disrupting her dream. She had trouble getting rid of them and had to use demons to kill them usually.What if these characters do something much more disturbing than to only bother one, such as telling them things they do not want to know about themselves or attacking them or scaring them? How could you escape them when it is your subconscious that brings you them? One of my other ponderings is this; If you train yourself to lucid dream often can you untrain this habit? If your dreams become horribly unruly and horrifying could you stop yourself from becoming lucid in dreams? Such as training yourself to do something that reacts similarly in a dream as it does in reality and telling yourself that that means your are awake? If someone was used to checking his watch to see if he is dreaming was given a faulty watch in reality could this tradition go so far as to make him doubt reality? If he looks at his watch and see the second counting down could he think he is dreaming while he is awake? Because of these thoughts i have had aprehension of trying lucid dreaming. Could someone guide me on this?
