Just a medo

Hi guys, so i have a question, ITS more a personal question but... I have a little fear tô o get making Ld and i can not stop, like a drug, this is possible? And more one, why do ld, is not to do like a escape-life rigth? PS: Sorry for the errors, i'm a smartphone that have a other language.

I think I know what you are asking. I have yet to see anyone that was able to LD very well get "addicted to them like a drug" it seems almost like you have to have a pretty healthy brain to LD. This kinda flows into the next answer. I have seen a lot of people try to use LDing just as an escape, but most of then don't seem to be able to LD very well. Probably because of a negative outlook on life, which transfers over to LDing. Most people that LD well are also productive humans in waking life. One way I use LDing, is that I completely hate sleep, but LDing has made it so that I want to sleep at night and am a lot more productive.

I don't have any experience with actual drugs other than antidepressants I am somewhat dependent on to function on a daily basis. Anyway, you can't get addicted to lucid dreaming like drugs as it does require some level of discipline and effort on your part to keep on lucid dreaming consistently as well as somewhat a healthy brain. Unlike drugs lucid dreaming itself won't cause damages to your body either. It's just like dreaming, but you are aware of it. Of course, it is possible to obsess over it to the point you may spend most of the days reading about lucid dreaming, writing dreams, trying to sleep every chance you get, and even building your life around dreaming etc. but here is where some sense of responsibility and prioritizing can help. I'm speaking from experience as i had given up on waking life at one point spending every chance I get dreaming just so I can spend time with my significant other who passed away. However, I'm doing much better now and keep myself more engaged and grounded in waking life. As long as you don't get obsessed with dreaming to the point it's affecting your waking health it's all good. If you find yourself drawn to dreaming more than waking reality try to engage yourself in waking reality activities that keeps you interested in waking reality like even working on your relationships by hanging out with people more. Hanging out with my nephews helped me not only break free from depression fueled dream-centric life, but also build a proper relationship with them and those around me. Hope it helps.
