Thread: Control through horror

I'll be interested to see if you are able to fight off your night terrors by becoming lucid. What exactly are night terrors like? Just curious.

Then again, I had an interesting dream last night. I ended up holding a bloody baby, probably evil in nature. I'm not sure I'd want to become lucid at that moment.

Well Tsirist, it wasn't so much a certain night terror caused this, as much as it was like I was just feeling threatened. Here is an example that I experienced in the past, I'm dreaming that I am walking through my neighborhood overtaken by water. It looks like some sort of storm has destroyed the area and over time a swamp has grown in. At my feet I see a huge snake swimming between my legs. My subconscious would then become aware I was dreaming because I felt threatened. I would then tell myself to wake up for fear of a night terror resulting from the inclusion of a snake in my dream.

I'm not so much trying to fight off my night terrors because I dont really have them anymore. I can always wake myself up when I am feeling threatened. I want to be able to Lucid dream in positive citations. Another words be able to gain awareness of a dream from other things in dreams besides what I feel to be threatening.
