Thread: Lucid Dreaming and Comas

A friend of mine fell off the back of a motorbike. He wasn't wearing a helmet.

He was in a coma for a few months. Unfortunately he is not quite "right" in the head now. He says he had bad nightmares while he was in the coma. He said it was similar to what you see in Iron Maiden pictures.

I have a fear that's somehow related to this. I used to fear getting too much into my mind and going into some kind of a coma.

Now that I've found out that other people can do that and that it's called lucid dreaming it somehow seems "safer" and I don't fear it anymore. But in the past I had wakened myself from some Lucid dreams just for the fear of getting stuck in them.

What I meant was that when I started Lucid Dreaming I had no idea the phenomenon was called that. I had no way of knowing if it was a hallucination or a something else. If to that you add the fact that I only had WILDs, then you can imagine I was a bit spooked out.

I could see that being pretty scary. Imagine what people 1000 years ago must have thought about lucid dreaming. Pretty good foundation for a religion or two
