Thread: Will negative thoughts affect your lucid dreams badly?

Sure, anything that crosses your mind can happen. Remember that your dreams are basically thoughts, so whatever thought you may have can manifest itself in your dream. But as what HARRISANDERSON said, you can get the hang of dream control and make scary dreams turn pleasant.

Haha, okay great! Thanks!
Since I dream of snakes a lot, I bet the first thing that will come to my mind when I have a lucid dream is a huge anaconda... I just hope it will be friendly.

NO WAY! Snakes are one of my prominent dream signs. They pop up a lot in my dreams too, and the really big and shiny ones. They're really creepy, but over time I learned to convince myself they're not real (not in my dream anyway) hehe. I use some autosuggestion before bed too, something like "the snakes wont hurt me", etc.

Hehe, I'm trying to use snakes as a dream sign so I can get lucid too, it actually worked for my first LD...
I got to try the "snakes won't hurt me" thing, I remember I got bitten by a big old python a while back in one of my dreams.
