Thread: Fear of Never Waking?

Explain to him that his fear is irrational. Most people have a fear of dying, it's a basic instinctual feeling. But, to fear that he is going to never wake up from a lucid dream to the point where he is desperately trying to awake from them and can no longer enjoy them defeats the whole purpose. And even if he was to live out his entire afterlife in a dream as if he is dead or something, tell him its a lot better than going to hell.

Isn't there some weird disease that makes you sleep 23 hours a day and wake up with a weird personality? But that's really rare.

I've had this a few times, and it is scary. Like many lucid skills, all it takes is a little experience--the second or third time it happens, you realize that you are not going to be stuck in a dream forever. Tell them it will pass.

Yes, I fucked up once. I thought I might not wake up after having a load of FA's one after another. I became lucid almost straight away in each one but decided to end them. Duh.

I have had that fear of being stuck in a dream. A different fear I've had was when I somehow knew or felt that I was seconds from falling asleep or dreaming (not sure which) and I shot up with my adrenaline going because I felt like I would die if I fell asleep.

Hrm seems weird, I think I've had this but it was when I was really drowsy. It's obviously not going to happen unless you're in a coma.

Yeah, its irrational thinking because your either sleeping or almost asleep.
