Thread: Hi all!

Welcome to DV!

No, you won't get paranoid because you start to question your reality. You're worrying you might not think you're asleep and jump out a window and die? You might know for sure that you're awake, but the goal is to just ask yourself, it doesn't matter if you believe or not. Also, any time you're not sure you're dreaming, do a thorough RC and never do something stupid like jumping out the window.

You won't have a problem distinguishing reality from a dream, it's just your awareness that'll improve.

Yes I understand. I never thought about that lol, thinking you're asleep and jumping out a window. But you start questioning yourself is this reality or a dream, that's why I'm unsure of this, you will start to think in a other way.

I understand you're worried, but trust me, you'll be fine Only time I've ever been worried was when I was dreaming. I was unsure wether I was asleep or dreaming because everything felt so real.

All the LDing techniques are more awareness. Not less.

*Awake or dreaming, obviously. Can't edit my post...

Welcome to Dreamviews, Overdose!

No, it most likely won't cause paranoia unless you have a history with it in the past. Make sure you read The Beginner's Guide to Lucid Dreaming (http://www.dreamviews.com/f20/beginn...eaming-124786/) and if you have any questions please ask!

Is there any specific technique you are going to practice? Best of luck!
