So while I was meditating today, I realized I had a small fear that surfaced during my practice. Part of me I think is holding me back from my goal to daily lucid dreams and I'm uncertain if others have similar fears, but maybe you had similar feels before and have some good advice or pep talk to help settle this lil fear.
Fears of success regarding LD
First there's the novelty of regular non lucid dreams. They are pretty cool sometimes and the plot and story are like a interesting first person movie. There's usually lessons involved in the dreams and I'm afraid of losing the novelty of the randomness and random life lessons in them. But maybe it's unfounded since you could get clearer stories or messages in lucids where you can ask DCs questions instead of trying to figure out obscure metaphors in non lucid.
Other one is lucid nightmares. I had a couple, a few involving being trapped (although I think i recognized the childhood event that may have caused this and it stopped happening) and one where a DC is drowning me. While these kind of things can happen in nonld, it's much more terrifying when you are aware and things are crystal clear. Maybe I oughta face my fears regarding it, however I'm hearing stories of Ld nightmares persisting even in experienced lucid dreamers.
Thoughts?
