Thread: Please, I need help. My mind is thinking that everything around me is not real - Lucid Dream caused

I don't get it Mocari. But the way you write "what You will do..." and that, makes me feel like you are trying to tell me something and I don't know what it is...

I'm trying to tell You nothing, and it's harder than imagined.
Struck with uncertainty,
You aren't going to choose to remain that way forever are You?
You're going to have to choose what to believe.
It's not like i'm expecting anything. In my eyes there's no right or wrong here.
I'm just curious to Your thoughts that's all.

I had this problem too, a couple months ago. I used to have an Anxiety disorder including the symptoms pannic attacks, feeling unreal, paranoia, de-realization, depersonalization etc.

Its no problem, although you may feel lost, hopeless, paranoid and other feelings it will go away.

Theres a website called the Linden Method which helped get through this.

I visited some website a while back. I think it was a cult/religion website and it was basically saying how aliens camafloage as humans and other wacked out stuff. It may sound stupid, but when you have an anxiety disorder, your mind can easily become paranoid.

Im pretty sure what your going through is de-realization and/or depersonalization.

Your problem about thinking that everything is a dream is a common symptom of anxiety disorder.

You should stop thinking about it, its you who's perpetuating it. Just ignore it when ever you have the feeling no matter how hard it is too and it will go away. Your worrying too much and you need to relax, you probably heard this before but just relax and keep your mind on something else.

I think going back to religon helped me when i was paranoid. Try going to your church, mosque, temple etc.

OH YA AND BE VERY CAREFUL WITH DOCTORS / PHYCOLOGIST. SORRY TO SAY THIS BUT MOST OF THE TIME THEY DONT KNOW SHIT ABOUT THESE KINDS OF PROBLEM. THEY JUST TRY GIVING YOU SOME MIND ALTERING DRUGS.

They key is keeping your mind on something else, like a hobby of some sort, go join a gym go out with freinds it helps your subconious re-align it self. Trust me its no problem.

I think your problem is you just need more social interaction. If you get out and experience more of other people, you will feel less like you are the only one. I think the reverse of your problems is when people have the realization of something like, "oh my god, there are so many people who are alive, just like me."

I hope you get over your problem, it seems like a frustrating one.

LOL! I have had both problems! (But not as a result of lucid dreaming)

But i don't percieve it as a problem and i never have, i see it as an interesting piece of philosophy which i stumbled upon
with no help. i reflect on it every now and then. I have even managed to explain the complicated idea in detail to some of
my friends (Although my explanation below is short and is therefore not as easy to understand).

The only thing stopping me from falling into uncertainty (like you seem to be) is BELIEF, and because it's impossible to
forget a revelation of this magnitude, it is quite a strong assurance. My way of snapping back to "reality" is by getting
into the frame of mind where you believe everything to be real and factual, but also accepting that reality could change at
any time.

I know that sounds dodgy, but think of it like this: 4000 years ago we KNEW the earth was the center of the universe,
everyone believed it so it had to be true, it was accepted as reality. 1000 years ago we KNEW the world was flat, it was a
credited and scientifically proven fact, it was accepted as reality. But then reality CHANGED, and now we KNOW the world is
round, and earth is not the center of the universe.
I could give many more examples and draw ideas from other philosophy, but i have no time and they would fill the page.
If anything, being able to get into this ultimate "questioning" state of mind will help you have more LD's. So don't be afraid of it, use it to your advantage.

This sounds like something that some grounding exercises might be helpful with as their purpose is to ground a person and make them more aware of the physical plane they are on.

To find more on grounding exercises, just do a search on Google on Grounding Exercises. There are several sites listing them.

i think many people have had little dougbts but the key thing is that its probably not the case and even if it is, hey just enjoy it while you can, how do i know the truman show isnt employing you to trick me

Thanks guys for all your help and comments; really. It's "much better" this time around that 5 years ago when I didn't know something like 'derealization' existed and I thought I was the only one on earth with it.

Please, if you can just keep posting more comments, help, thoughts, etc. Also, would be nice to have some links about those subjects (derealization/depersonalization) that helped some got through...

Thanks again, really.
