Once you start Lucid dreaming, if you find yourself in a nightmare and become lucid, you just can go to whatever is scaring you and ask him what does he want, so you should try to have LDs. |

I've always had lots of nightmares. My mum says I inherited it from her (she has a LOT of nightmares). When I was young I learned to forget dreams and I was fine otherwise I would be scared to sleep. I learned of LD and gave it a go. I've had a few in my life but never did too well remembering them. I often remember glimpses of scary dreams and I'm not sure if I want to remember them, but I would love to lucid dream. I realize I'm also missing out on some amazing non lucid dreams. What should I do? |

You can't 'inherit' nightmares, dreams are based on your energy and emotions before you sleep. For example, if you go a bed happy your likely to have positive dreams. If you go to bed depressed, unhappy your going to have negative dreams. And another thing, your expecting to have nightmares, therefore your obviously going to have them. Tell yourself you will have positive dreams. Its all in the mind. |

I don't know for a fact, but it seems likely it's possible to inherit maybe an overactive amygdala (organ in the brain responsible for primitive emotions like terror and aggression, that's activated during nightmares). Or possibly hearing a lot of stories from his (her?) mom in childhood could cause the OP to also have nightmares, thinking it's inevitable. |

Hi Unicyclefan welcome to DV. |

Imagine a place where everything that can happen, does happen; where past, present, and future are all together; a kaleidoscope of worlds – form without substance, ripples upon ripples upon waves upon waves of pure experience – limitless worlds of possibility, existing beyond time ... This is the world ... we visit each night in our dreams.
