so this may be adverse to what everyone else is talking about here, but i cant find an answer anywhere, let alone a solution. i am having terribly involved and intense dreams that i do not want. i woudnt call them nightmare, theres no monsters or serial killers. its more about random family members and friends, events from the past, and general anxiety in many different forms. it is affecting my conscious reality and i am becoming more and more agitated in my daily life over what goes on while i sleep. i am tired after these dreams and i feel like i was actually awake and moving for extended periods of time. i have always been a lucid dreamer, but until recently i didnt know that everyone else wasn't also. i can control my self to a point in these states but i can never control the environment, or outcome. i researched into finding a pill or a combination of herbal remedies that could curb or hopefully stop me from dreaming whatsoever, but i now know this is not feasible. i know that im new here but this is the most professional and well organized place that i could find to post a serious question. if anyone has any info for me please help, it will be very appreciated.

sincerely
