Thread: Please Help I Really Need Advice!

Im a junior in Highschool and I have known about lucid for about a couple of months, in my history class we are required to keep journals where we respond to quotes. Unfortunately I handed a journal that had all my stuff about lucid dreaming I explained my dreamworld what it looked like and who I wanted in it , I also wrote down my dream goals of what I wanted to dream about that night. Soon after turning it in I realized what I did I tried to get it back by making lame excuses ( I was to embarrassed to tell him what was really in it) So my teacher read it and gave me a D. What stresses me out is my teacher flips randomly through the journals and doesn't read EVERY single one so I'm not sure which entries he read. For a month after that I had trouble sleeping or even THINKING because I was so worried that My teacher was thinking about the journal and what was going on in my head. Finally I confronted him and sort of explained myself. My teacher was like I dont know what your talking about I wasnt even thinking about it , dont worry so I was relieved for a little while but then it dawned on me that he can remember at any time and at any moment knowing this has made it very hard for me to sleep comftorably let alone dream what should I do?

can I ever get my mind back will I ever feel comftorable dreaming again without worrying about my teacher?

please post someone I dont want brain cancer from lack of sleep!

Don't worry about it. It's unlikely that he'll remember, and if he does, I doubt he cares what you want to dream about. Besides, even if he does remember, it's even more unlikely that he'll say anything about it, so it won't affect you anyway. Also, if you live in the US, remember that the school year ends in a couple weeks, and after that you probably won't see him much, if ever.

yeah dude calm down. who cares what your teacher thinks? he cant do anything to you about it. and he already said he doesnt remember. If he remembers its not like he is going to do anything about it. He might even think its cool and want you to teach him how to do it. that is, if he remembers.

I'd be pissed! Why didn't you come back and bring him the correct journal? Did he really grade all of those journals in a single day? I'd at least try to confront him again and explain things thoughroughly, for the sake of my grade.

I'm including a disclaimer in my dream journal, calmly explaining what it's all about. Because there are certain snoops where I live that are bound to read it.

yess Forget about it and enjoy ur lucid dreams

In my past experiences....teachers don't care. They just don't. He probably read one entry like wtf? and gave it a D because there were words in it. Trust me teachers actually have a life, the last thing they are thinking about is your journal. Take it easy okay?

maybe you just shouldn't be emberassed, but think of it as maybe the teacher thinks that it's a cool topic. I mean, lucid dreaming isn't so terribly strange, and your teacher said that he wasn't thinking about it, so i'm sure it's all forgotten about. Just try to let it go, the anxiety of it should wear off soon anyway
