Important question about something going on in my life

**Bumpeh** · 10-25-2011 09:22 PM

I'm not entirely sure if I'm posting this in the right place, it's just quiet an important question. Sometimes I go through strokes of depression, and I feel like theres someone else, another person living inside my mind that is harming me purposfuly, and causing issues within my life, lately I seem to be alot more angry and depressed than usual. This "thing" living in my head, I've though that if I was able to have a lucid dream and imagine me controlling it, in a sense, would that help me to get better in the real world?

Hi there my friend,

Lucid dreaming is often used to relieve a person psychologically. Making a person use his full potential in real life. So I would say, go for it, Lucid Dream to control this thing you are talking about. I would also suggest you try to make it a habit to meditate so that you can clear your mind and have a short state of silence. But always remember, there's only you, nothing more. You are the boss of your own actions my friend. Hope this clears it up

Thanks alot, I've been doing a bit better in the last day or so, I'm stilling trying to have lucid dreams, I notice that I'm starting to remember my dreams more every night I try the excersizes, but I haven't actually remembered a lucid dream yet.

I know what you mean about something within you holding yourself back. I notice this sometimes. It feels like some part of myself is trying to sabotage my happiness. It becomes very apparent in dreams. No matter how lucid I am, or how much control I have, there are always surprises and challenges beyond my control. We are definitely made up of more than our conscious thoughts.

I had stopped attempting to lucid dream, but recently I was depressed and found myself visiting dream views every now and then. In a dream, it's your world, ONLY yours, once your lucid, you're in control of everything. That may help with your depression.

I'm no expert, but I say go for it. There are so many uses one can make of lucid dreams and if not all of them, then probably most of them are a step in the right direction of becoming better: having more confidence, feeling that you are in control of your life, feeling that you are on a way of understanding yourself more and more. These are all things that can be achieved and that can and will have a positive effect afterwards in your waking life.
