If you want to find out if you have OCD, go see a doctor. Some kind of anti-anxiety medicine might make all the difference for you. Counseling could also be really helpful. |

i think i have OCD. it's ruining the quality of LDing. i show a lot of the symptoms in waking life*, and unwarranted fear manifests in my LDs. i'm very cautions about what my expectations are because i think something scary to be around the corner, or someone to turn into that thing from the Grudge. even though i'm aware my expectations become "reality" in dreams, i can't help but think those thoughts- it's harder to control my thoughts while dreaming. |

Everyone sees grotesque images as they are falling to sleep or as they are dreaming, and many feel disturbed that their mind can come up with such things. I've had dreams that can rival some of the most disturbing horror films. |
|
I'm curious now, I have OCD (doctor actually diagnosed), and I have had that same problem, but more to the sense of my mind will randomly wander, and when I try to clear it the only natural thing for it to come up with is that something is going to pop out. |
|
I'm not an expert on WILD, so what I can offer only comes from personal experince. I focus only on my breathing, and if I find that my mind is wandering I just go back to feeling my breathing. I don't count the breaths or thinkg "In. . . .Out" or anything. I just focus on the feeling, and try to empty my mind of words. |

The HI sounds like what I get sometimes, I have to do something to get rid of it, 'cause once it starts its hard to make it go away. If it happens, maybe you could read a book for a few minutes, and then try going back to sleep. |

No medicine, it will only prevent some symptoms. It will also bring side effects, very rarely does medicine work in the long run. Take my advice, be in the moment. I know this because I have OCD, not extremely bad, but enough to know your frustration. Try being in the moment, it helps you concentrate on things that would normally bother you, so you wouldn't need to do them again. It also helps you take your mind off of it, and make your own free choices instead of going along with everyday routine. |

I've not been diagnosed, but I am seeing a doctor. I think that everyone thinks that my OCD is mild, but I'd say it's more inside of me. |

hey i used to have OCD it makes everything 10 times as hard and i can see why it would effect lding... i started off pretty normal and just had little voices in my head telling me to step on this or that but it escalates quickly and took over my life for about a year before i got help theres some really good websites that can actually diagnose ocd it woulfd be the best to see a doctor thats what i would do but the best thing that helped me was to know that it is a disorder and just that its nothing special and you can deystroy it lol it just takes focus |
|
I don't know if this might work but try to getting into a lucid dream and when u get there just spend teh whole lucid like if it was real life and if something unexpected happanes stay cool and face it by not been afraid and just keep walking. Thats what i did i saw something/someones that weren't suppose to be in my lucid dream and even when i got goosebumps from them been there i just walked away and they left... i hate that goosebumps feeling....just stay cool an don't try doing anything unnatural... |
