Thread: I Have A Lucid Dream Problem That Is Bugging Me...

I would recommend rephrasing that as I can barely understand what you are trying to say. However, I think I know what you are talking about because I occasionally have this problem as well. I call it rampant thinking. To be honest the only solution I have as of right now is to place the unwanted creation of my mind into a blind spot. Try to simply make it stop existing.

THERE, SOMEONE PLEASE ANSWER, SO THIS PROBLEM CAN SLOWLY GO AWAY.

Has this actually happened in your dreams or is this hypothetical?

I think I understand what you mean...

what I would do is either:

1)Tell myself before I fall asleep..."I do not want to dream something scary" or something like that...

2)In my dream tell myself "this is not scary...I have experienced this before"

3)Find out why you want something scary when you are dreaming...try to replace the cause with something else

Sorry if this did not help you

You'll see something scary.

It will probably be an interesting experience though, because you summoned it. If it does happen, talk to it. It can't hurt you in your dreams, especially if you know you're dreaming.

I guess you don't want something scary to happen, but guess what, if this is bugging you it will have the same effect as this sentence:

Dont think of an elephant!

Did you thought of an elephant? Yeah probably xD Did it bothered you? Probably not.

If you have a fear of something, like this happening in a dream but with a much scarier creature than an elephant, then deal with it now!

First of all think rationally:

Premise 1: What you experience in a dream can't hurt you.
Premise 2: You dream of slenderman.
Counclusion: Slenderman in your dream can't hurt you.

Premise 1: Everything in a dream is just a part of yourself.
Premise 2: You are afraid o of Slenderman in your dream.
Conclusion: When you are afraid of Slenderman you are actually afraid of something of yourself.

Where is the logic of being afraid? You need to ask yourself that.

I would say though that it's probably just a common fear of the unknown.

Here is an important quote though: "Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than the fear."

Would you really like to destroy the joy of being lucid by fearing what might happen? - Of course not!

I want you to have a "brave" mindset, and think "The next time I experience something scary in my dream, I will approach the fear and ask what do you represent of me?"

I once had a lucid dream where I saw a scary hooded man kind of looking like death himself, I hesitated at first, but then went to him and removed the hood and screamed "What is the meaning of this?!". I then saw that the person under the hood was my friend Martin. I realized that it represented my fear of the death and he was the reason for the fear.
He had an idea of consciousness just being a result of the brain and that when we die we are nothing! And that is the reason to why I started to become spiritual in the first place and let's just say that I am really glad that I did.

So see don't fear your inner monsters, welcome them and learn from them!

With this mindset the scary monsters wont appear, although when they do appear you know how to deal with it.

And with the thirst for knowledge you almost want them to appear!

Namaste.

I know that OBVIOUSLY it can't hurt you, but what if it scares the hell out of me and I wake up?

Make it stop existing... How can I do that?

Neither of these are to me. But they are simple answers. If it scares the hell out of you and you wake up, then you are awake. Do better next time. Try DEILDing or something.

In order to make things not exist you can do 2 methods. One say "you do not exist." And imagine it dissapearing. Or just ignore it. Neither of these will work if you don't have confidence though. If you say that and imagine it but your mind is thinking "what if it doesn't work!?" Then it won't work. Be confident that you can do exert your control over any part of your dreaming self.

If anyone has a right to be afraid of dreams it is me. I feel pain almost every night in dreams.

OK.

As soon as it appears, remember that you're dreaming and tell it NO! It will either usually go away or try to be friends. You could also be nice to it and make it be your friend.

Ehmm.. When i became lucid for the first time ever, i became the "monster". So if all else fail, make it a game and hunt it down. Believe you are the badass.

Everything in your dream requires your attention to exist. If you don't know something is there then it isn't. It's hard to explain, but its essentially like "If I can't see you, you can't see me" only a little more involved.
