Thread: Constant lucid dreams. Only today I learn it's called a "lucid dream" HELP me STOP!

Ok BruteForce223, slightly offended. Look everyone I'm no expert as you all kinda sound like big lucid fans and what not but believe it or not this has been happening to me and I had no idea what this lucid crap is and I'm not very interested in looking more into with all your links and stuff but thank you for the time you took to post it. I've gathered you can't stop it? But I have read you could reduce it? I duno. I know you said if I have been lucid dreaming alot I would know and be able to master it buut until now I had no idea what was even happening and why I knew I was dreaming. I read it sometimes happens from poor sleep habits? Which is definitely me. I have to say alot of my personality and mental state would do alot with why I'm often scared in these dreams and probably unable to change them? I really don't know. It's alot more horrifying then fun!

Well I can understand that, but I'm so used to people talking total bull online and this sounds unlikely to say the least.

In any case, I hope you fix your anxiety with your dreams ASAP.

All the best,

Brute

I think you're making a big mistake to make waking life decisions based on fear of dream experiences. A dream, as you've described in your original post, is inherently irrational, and while we may feel fear inside them, we are able to look at it logically upon waking and see that there is no danger present.

Make your decision about lucid dreaming based on your waking mind, don't make waking life decisions based on your dream mind; to do so, is, well, inherently irrational. Besides, most of us struggle our whole lives to avoid acting out of fear at all (that is what courage is, to act above the negative mental state of fear with a positive mental state, courage, so that we make good decisions based on clarity), if you try and drive away these states rather than elevate yourself above them you will only face an equal and opposite returning force when circumstances allow for fear to develop. You're conditioning yourself to be crippled by fear.
