Thread: Problem when "going out of bounds"

I think it's Steven Laberge who says the best way to confront something frightening is to try to give it a hug... That way instead of fighting back it will be won over. If you continue trying to fight it, it will fight you.

I wish I'd get some nice scary lucids. I really want to have a bare fisted fight to the death with something, preferably a dinosaur.

Steven LaBerge? Who's that guy?

You know, the guy who played "Thing" in The Adams Family. He mostly does modelling for watches these days.

He's also the bloke who runs www.lucidity.com and probably the world's foremost expert on LDs.

I get what you're saying Paragon. Sometimes the creatures have remorse, but other times it's not that easy (atleast for me). I've actually begged some people/things to stop bothering me and they've sat down with me and gave me a hug or a pat on the back or something.

Other times, trying to negotiate will just give me less time to run and/or fight and more of a chance for 'it' to try and kill me.

It's not like they actually could kill us... They can cut our head open but we'll still be there, living. Well, I think!

You'd be surprised Mind over matter.

That's what I was thinking. I haven't been there so I don't know what it's like but if I'm truly aware that it's not real, I can't see why it would scare me. It might annoy me if I'm trying to have a nice time rummaging through my neighbour's drawers or something and there are T-rexes at the window, but I could always shut the blinds.

LOL! You're right! If there was one of those mutants from I'm Legend running after me, I would probably not feel like staying there...
