Thread: Can lucid dreaming trigger schizophrenia?

To Arutad.....It's hard to be specific but the effect can be compared to trying to figure out a major math problem for the whole day, only it's for years and it stays, the mind gets so into it to the point that it affects normal thought patterns (thought signature of a person). I think it may lead to Schizophrenia in my case if I continue what I do actively because of the inward perspective that has been created and the isolating effects of it from the real world into the idea of dreaming. I have stopped my activities but find it difficult to restablish normal thought patterns without losing focus and going inward again toward lucid dreaming thoughts. At the same time I find it almost impossible to NOT think of it as it already has become a thought pattern by itself. The remedy I think is to allow the thoughts as random but not pay too much attention to it so after sometime it'll fade I guess.
