i wanted to lucid dream but i'm too scared to try, here's why
so it all started when i was talking with a friend and he told me about lucid dreaming, i looked it up on youtube and after watching a few videos about lucid dreaming i came across this one video where some person said that you can heal yourself in lucid dreams by making your brain believe that you're healing something (whether it's a physical body part or something mental or psychological), and the more you believe, the more your brain heals you, in other words it's just a placebo effect. when i finished watching the video, i thought to myself: if you can heal yourself in a lucid dream, does that also mean you can harm yourself by tricking your brain into believing that you have some sort of disease, for example, a brain tumor. now i just can't sleep because i'm having intrusive thoughts about all of this and i'm that i might trick my brain into believing that i have some sort of disease in a lucid dream.
