I have been around here for a month or so, I had one breif DILD and I havent had a lucid dream for a while. I know the reason is because I am somewhat afraid to attempt a WILD or things like that because my previous experiences of sleep paralysis, hallucinations and nightmares are quite intense. I used to have recuring nighmares about being beaten up by a huge pink monster in a hotel made of severed body parts and I would wake up strait into sleep paralysis which was very scary indeed. Ive had very very scary sleep paralysis so clear and vivid I can recall it like it was yesterday even though it was 7 years ago. I dont really experience things like that as much but every now and then I do, and my subconcious can make anything scary. Seriously. The most ridiculous things can be extremely scary in my dreams. Even though nothing bad has happened for a while I am frightened of what I might find in my mind. I know I can do WILDs if I try but I fear my subconscious. Am I overreacting about what pre-WILD hallucinations are like?
