Anyone haven't had a nightmare in a long time?

Its wierd, but I thought I achieved a kind of low lucidity from stopping nightmares, but now I'm not sure.

I haven't had a nightmare in a long time, thanks be to God, but I wonder about it. First of all, when ever I get the idea its going to be bad dream, I quickly change the setting or my mood towards it or I realise that it can't do anything to me. But I never think that its dream, I just know that I can change it and take it as an adventure. Is this lucidity or what?

I mean, sometimes I have dreams that I think were meant to be bad, but I stopped them because I took the thing as an adventure or just didn't care about the consequnces in the dream. People have tried to kill me many times, but I even remember have taken it as a compliment, thinking I must be pretty important or special that they want to off me. I have even tried to play the victim or damsel in distress, but then the bad person won't do anything.

Anyone else like this?

Nightmares, maybe one or two a year. Most of my dreams are happy, or just wierd!
It seems that they may have decreased in frequency since I started LDing.
You may be onto something. :)
Or maybe just coincidence.

my nightmares have DEFINATELY decreased since the time i started lucid dreaming.

I don't get nightmares nowadays because I can't thing of anything to be afraid of.

I began lucid dreaming by doind what you describe, waking up when an unpleasant dreams appears. I still do that sometimes. To me they are distinct e.g. I would not consider waking up having achieved lucidity. You can use this as a dream sign. For example, tell yourself that when something unpleasant happends, you will fight the threatening figure becuase it is a dream and they can't hurt. You will demand a gift from the figure. This will help you remember you are dreaming and achieve lucidity

Never have nightmares really. If they are anything close to one they are more of an adventure. This one time I followed someone into someones stomach. There were evil things in there that for some reason I was not really with, but was not fighting. It was like a prison. Was very odd.

I havn't had real nightmares since I was a kid...even then I wasn't afraid of a lot of them

Wow, since I've started activly lucid dreaming, all of my dreams have been more enlightning and abstract.
