      Ok... I'm currently working on my dream recall, and haven't tried any induction techniques yet, or read them. Last night I had a regular dream, which turned into a nightmare for a few seconds before I woke up. It was partly the jolt of the nightmare that woke me, but I think it was partly my own will as well. The next dream I had was lucid, although not very vivid. (My first lucid dream since I was a kid.) My question is; is there certain ways I can prevent myself from having nightmares, besides the regular stress of life? One dream I had the night before was a little scary, although I wouldn't call it a a nightmare. I was fairly tired that night before going to bed, but last night I wasn't very tired at all. I was excited to go to bed, due to inspiration of dreaming. If it matters, I also drank lots of milk last night, and had a lot of natural Vitamin B6. (Cauliflower and rice.) Any suggestions, or techniques for avoiding nightmares?
      Thanks,
      Steve.

      If the nightmares happen, that there must be certainly a reason for it. You never solve a problem escaping from it.
      I'm tired being sorry.

      nightmares are scary (and i should know, i have about one a month&#33 but there's one thing, they are excellent tools for becoming lucid and changing things, especially if you dream about the same thing over and over.

      If that's the case, you could even will yourself to dream about the thing that scares you most, and practice overcoming it in a lucid dream.

      Classic example for me was i had a nightmare about running down an endless corridor. I suddenly realised that there was no such thing as an endless corridor, and therefore realised i was dreaming, and slowed down to a walk!

      Hope this helps!
