Hi there!

I'm new to the Dreamviews and I've also have just started reading about lucid dreaming. I dream a lot and I've had a couple of lucid dreams in the past but in only 3 lucid dreams I've been able to manipulate them into becoming good experiences, that being said the rest were complete horror scenes after which I woke up panicking very badly.

Also I’d like to know a couple things if anyone would be so kind to answer these questions:

- How do you deal with lucid dreams that you don’t have control over?
- Is there any way to wake up earlier intentionally instead of having to get killed by your own imaginary thoughts?
- What techniques are best to make you enter a lucid state in your dream and make them positive experiences?
- Do you too write non-lucid dreams in your dream journal?
- How often can I expect to have a lucid dream and how to increase the number of times to have one?

So the worst experience I’ve ever had was that I was being chased by a lion (hungry one ye know?), I knew that I was dreaming and I tried to not think about the negative things that could happen and so I of course started to think about them. The lion devoured my body and cracked my skull after which I luckily woke up.

I’ve never written any of these dreams down but that one I can still clearly remember due to me freaking out at the time ;P Anyhow, would anyone be so kind to answer my questions? I’d appreciate it a lot. (:

Thanks in advance.
