Please bare with me, I have a lot to ask. .__.
Alright, so I just joined this site yesterday. I've recently gotten interested in Lucid Dreaming, and I told my mother about it. She told me it was "Unsafe, could make you go insane, and not worth it." Also on how it was unhealthy that you wouldn't know if you were in a dream or not. Could Lucid Dreaming mentally screw you up? I heard it was safe, but I never actually spoke to someone who was lucid before.
And then there's Sleep Paralysis. I'm scared to death with just hearing the name. I heard that, at times, you see demons and go through terrifying experences. If you were to attempt Lucid Dreaming, would you be more likely to get sleep paralysis? And do you have to go through that just to become lucid?
Finally (Sorry for all the questions), I've been paranoid ever since I looked up Lucid Dreaming. I really want to lucid dream, I have the dream journal, I've been writing my dreams down, I'm just scared that if I do realise I'm awake in the dream, that I'll create my worst nightmare. Is it true that whatever you think just pops up? Knowing me, I'll see something that scares the daylight out of me. Is there anything I can do to avoid this?
Thanks so much.
