Is there hope to Continuing Lucid Dreaming Practice if Get ill?

If you get ill with something like lung problems. and before this you were enjoying practicing lucid dreaming and even ordered a lucid dream aid like a mask...Seems now there is no point since i'll be in pain.

how do you guys take it? because we don't really think about it. Usually people doing lucid dreaming are happy and excited. doesn't seem like people who get into lucid dreaming are people with serious sufering and illness.

and i'm saying because these kind of illness are long term or forever, even terminal so i dont' know if i can ever do lucid dreaming practice again

I believe you can still do it. As long as you don't snore, (which keeps your body awakeish,) and sleep, I don't see why you couldn't.

As long as you can remember your dreams, there is a chance you can lucid dream.

Always try to lucid dream at night. After all, what else is there to do while you're sleeping?

I wish you wellness and success!

Lucid Dreaming may be just the thing to give pleasurable distraction in the face of unavoidable distress, and using dreams to help facilitate healing and wellness is a new frontier but there are people studying and sharing their experiences on it, in this forum and beyond.

The "point" of lucid dreaming is always only whatever you put into it and want out of it, if it's not a priority anymore that's understandable, but it would be a shame to give up something that brings you happiness out of suspicions that it will be no longer rewarding.

Also wishing you health and peach voBy!

The only thing I believe would pose a real threat to lucid dreaming would be not sleeping well, which could be a problem, depending on the illness. But if that can be overcome, then it should really only be a matter of whether you believe it's possible—you don't have to limit yourself. Wishing you well!

Amen to dolphin and RebelSeven. Like dolphin said, if you can remember dreams, then go for it--there is absolutely nothing to lose. Remembering dreams in and of itself can be a pleasure.

And as RebelSeven mentioned, lucid dreaming can ease suffering. I think one of the main reasons I became a lucid dreamer was because I was suffering--albeit psychologically, but suffering nonetheless. Lucid dreaming provided an alternative view of reality that was less suffocating. I wish you a full and swift recovery, voBy. Continue to practice, if you are able!
