Thread: Lucid dreaming messing up your thinking process?

I've had trouble with it in the past. I think it had more to do with messing with my sleeping patterns than with the dreams themselves.

I was sleeping for 3 hours max at a time, spaced evenly throughout the day with consistent artificial light always on. It's like you are always taking a nap, and always get REM rebound. I was also taking intense studio classes where I would occasionally go a day or two without any sleep.

Things get pretty strange pretty quick, especially when you start mixing in lucids. So may false wakeups, I often had trouble figuring out when I was really awake.

I went through that about 6 months ago when i didn't know whether i was awake or not, i was paranoid but thankfully that went away!
