Hello dreamers,

my name is Jasper and I've been lucid dreaming sinds i was a little boy and like to practice it now and then. I'm currently doing research about dreaming and personal development so i thought i would join this great community.

Alltrough i am a very big fan of dreaming and lucid dreaming in particular i'm not always busy with it. This is because when i'm getting in to it i start to have hallucinations while laying in bed. i think this is called HI? HI Hypnagogic Imagery. It doesn't really scare me anymore and i'm not religious or anything so I'm aware that they are hallucinations. the problem is that the more i am dreaming (and lucid dreaming) the more vivid they get. from things like flying shadows to actually people standing beside the bed for more than a minute.

I'm wondering if more people get that from being to infatuated to lucid dreaming and how they handle it.
