hi friends : )

Hi everyone! I'm so thankful to have found this forum and that it's still got some activity. I've been experiencing a Persistent Realm for over a year now and am just now finding its defining vocabulary. I'm here because I have a small amount of lucid autonomy in my PR, but the world itself is an absolute vivid nightmare. My brain has chosen to manufacture a world with some twisted inspiration from the real one, but there are also numerous locations and, more often than not, I experience distressing events in these dreams. Regardless of how lucid I am, I still find myself in constantly unfavorable situations, and it seems I'm stuck with having a PR (I should note I did not create by my own will. As far as I remember?) so I'd like to stop having nightmarish BS occur within the PR. So that's why I'm here: to change it if I'm stuck with it! I have a bachelor's of science in psychology and none of my neuroscience studies have answered for my experience (edit: apart from consistent dreams frequently equating to subconscious trauma coping.) I'm excited to talk with y'all and learn more <3 kcb

Hello there! Glad you have found your way around the internet to this forum! It’s interesting you are experiencing this PR, I would definitely spend some time to map it and understand it in as much detail as possible. Despite it being challenging for you, there is also an opportunity for you to grow and learn amidst all that distress that it is causing you - even if it is just becoming immune to the hardships that you have to endure there. I really hope though that you won’t have to suffer there too long. Maybe there is something you have to resolve or discover for the situation to change. And if not as they say, you might be able to change how you react to it!
