First of all, my apologies for the following mistakes you may find along the text, English is not my first language. I'd appreciate any corrections as well, do not encourage my ignorance, please. :lol:
Quick introduction:
I’ve been able to control my nightmares from a very young age, whether it was by flying or by simply waking up. But I didn’t know what I was doing until a friend of mine told me about lucidity when I was 17. I immediately started these reality tests and everything worked out soon. In my second lucid dream I was able to create a landscape and explore it (I obviously lost control after a while, anyhow…) and in my third, I directly asked the chimera that was chasing me (after checking several times I was safe and away enough from it :lol: ) what was the reason; it replied to me, calmed down, decreased in size, and we talked about it, finally arranging to meet each other in other dreams (I never saw it before, though).
I’ve been having all kind of lucid dreams since then, and even though I’ve done (and unsuccessfully tried :D) many… let’s say, 'useless stuff', I mainly use it to keep as many nightmares as I can under control. The thing is it stopped feeling right almost a year ago, when I started experiencing sleep paralysis too frequently (the last one was specially terrible, visual and auditory hallucinations included), and incredibly long false awakenings. I also read on some site that “not even most experienced lucid dreamers had more than one lucid dream a week”. At the time I used to have two or three a week so, as I’m a natural paranoid, this freaked me out quite a bit to the point that when I woke up in a dream, I immediately wanted to get the fuck out of it, sometimes achieving this purpose after much struggle against some dream characters.
I literally escape lucid dreams for half a year, then I stopped having them, and now they’re starting again, which is a release, because I was getting really bored, to be honest.
I already took a look at the forum and it seems really interesting. Hope to be here for a - relatively - long time. Cheers!
