Thread: HELP!! Lucid= panic

Hi, I'm new to this forum and wanted to share my lucid dream experiences. Its very common for me to have lucid dreams and when I do (although they are not nightmares) once I realize that I am dreaming it always freaks me out! It never fails and I always try to wake myself up which is rather difficult by either trying to move or scream. I also noticed when I usually have these dreams I seem to be in a very deep deep sleep and my breathing is very shallow (its almost as if I am having a very hard time breathing) Also most of the time, if I am having one of these nights, after awaking if I do not get up, move around and try to stay awake for 10 min. I will easly and very agressivly fall back into the deep sleep and the dream will either return or rerun itself again. I know if I could manipulate my dream into something (showing that i had some type of control) I could probably feel comfotable with these dreams, but only once have I been able to create and make things happen they way i wanted (which I must say was one of the best dreams in my life So anyways I guess my question is has anyone had similar experiences (especially with the breathing problems) or any advice that would be helpful... I'd definitely appreciate it
Thank you!!
