How do I prevent lucid dreaming
They have a negative impact

drugs?
mmm, well im curious why someone is willing to do drugs because he is afraid of his dreams, may i ask why do you want them to stop?
Hmm, I'm cuious as to see what negatve effect they're having on you. Care to share?
I'm not too sure if there are really any ways to not have them. I suppose if you make a strong effort to tell yourself not to remember your dreams, at least they won't bother you.
Get yourself very tired before bed and makes yourself worry about what you have to do the next day. Before you know it, you wont remember any dreams at all ;)
Why would you want to stop LDing?Quote:

The impact is only negative if you let it be. Try to face it!!
Oh yeah, & welcome to the forum, aahaskins!!
Hey there. I sent you a welcome message :D
Anyway, you're not the first person here who's asked how to stop lucid dreaming.. Is something going on that's causing you not to want them? I'm trying to find some of the posts on here about how to stop them and I'll see what I can come up with. This sounds like an idea for a potential tutorial... *noted*
If you would like to PM me for any reason just let me know.

I don't really know what your reasoning for wanting to stop is, but if it's that it's causing sleep deprivation, i completely understand that lol. I would talk to a doctor or more aptly, a psychologist to get a firm diagnosis and treatment. Sounds kinda serious, and sorry i am not of more help.
Yeah, I'm fairly new to 'LDing' but I can't seem to find anything wrong with it. I'd go with the suggestioon of getting yourself so worried that you don't even remember your dreams.
Hi, im also new here
Have you tried MILD in reverse? Try telling yourself to not LD, it might work and cant make things worse can it?
try falling asleep while in a lucid dream, anythings possible. or else read a whole lot before goig to sleep, or listen to music. after dying in a lucid dream i remember not wanting to have anymore. those were my techniques until i overcame the fear.
This is my question too.
I can answer you the question of why one would want to stop in my case... maybe aahaskins has a similar reason, maybe not.
More or less every night I experience dreams with a kind of splitting of awareness: I am, simultaneously and separately, multiple personas. One of these is what I think of as the creator-figure; a disembodied persona that does not actively take part in the 'story' of the dream, which is aware that it is taking part in a dream, of everything that is happening, and which is able to control everything. At least one of the characters is aware it is taking part in a dream, has a greater awareness of its surrounds than is possible in real life, and often has a high degree of control over its world.
This makes the real world seem limiting, and leaves me, in waking life, feeling useless, powerless, transient, and pointless.
I'm scared now. I guess we all want to lucid dream, but I don't want to have to face the day myself, when I can't stop lucid dreaming, and that it's harming me.
I'm also curious why you want to stop lucid dreaming...
Figure out a way to wake yourself up. Then try going back to sleep and see if it still happens.
I'm not sure how hard itis to find a way to wake yourself up, but it sohuld be easy as pie if you are already lucid. I can wake myself up manually when I don't know I'm dreaming. Of course, you gotta know you're dreaming to wake yourself up in your dream - this is what I'm wondering about. After all these years of waking myself up one way, and having a new way for the past years or two, I guess it's just reflexive. I'm not sure at all.
Just don't think about what you dreamt about. And hey if it are truely lucid dreams, just do what ever you want. Create a snail-race or something to keep you busy.
Wake up suddenly (via alarm clock) and immediately jump into the shower or start doing things.
Lucid dreams are often the result of light sleep; so telling yourself to sleep more deeply might do the trick.
But why would you want to?
