Thread: Fear to LD =(

Also, I too felt trippy effects (flashbacks) when I smoked marijuana after doing mushrooms. I quit for about 3 months and recently tried it again, and for the most part I am okay. I would say I still trip about 10% of the time from marjuana (slight visual hallucinations etc) but I have learned to be at peace with it and enjoy the experience. However, I am sometimes afraid of the long-term effects it could have on my mental well being so I do not smoke very much or very often.

look homes
i used to be afraid of the same, being stuck in a dream...but now i think about it and i think "hey you know what? if i cant wake up...good! i wont have anymore problems in a world created by me..jaja" but seriously...think about it, if you died in ur dream then it wouldnt be a dream anymore now would it..before u know it youll getr dragged off to either heaven or the basement lol
so just relax homie and dream away

Some people do get trapped in dreams. It's called a comma But don't worry, at least you'll be perfectly safe in your dream world. I hope I made you feel better about LDing

Actually that is false. The brain activity shown by patients in a comma is not the same as REM sleep. People who wake up from commas also don't have any recollection of being in a comma, they don't have one gigantic lucid dream. Know the facts before you try to scare people.

I wasn't trying to scare him. I think it would be cool to be stuck in a long dream.

but what if it's a nightmare? go see vanilla sky if you havent already : )

In my opinion, ride the dream out, and enjoy your break from the stresses of physical reality.

Trying to end a dream early can send you straight into sleep paralysis which can be a much, much more terrifying experience then being inside of a nice dream setting (atleast until you get used to sleep paralysis).
