Thread: New to LD, just a few concerns.

I undestand that I can't get hurt, I'm just talking about being freaked out and scared. I know that SP is one of the scariest things a person can experience. I've woken up in it before, but luckily I realized what was going on and woke before anything scary happened. I have been unintentionally lucid quite a few times before, but I had no idea what LDing was. I was just wondering if any wierd things might happen that are actually normal, so I don't freak out when they happen.

Really, if you think it's going to be scary, it will be. If you keep telling yourself that you'll get scared, you will become scared. It's kind of like a "Mind over matter" scenario. I know it's easier said than done, but if you tell yourself that it's nothing to be afraid of, and that it's happens to you every night, then nothing's going to happen.

You aren't dreaming during sleep paralysis so you will have no nightmares then. Conscious sleep paralysis is not required for lucid dreaming, only a special induction technique called WILD. Most of us use another way to get lucid called DILD.

The easiest way to wake up is to close your eyes. You loose focus on everything in your dream so it all disappears. With nothing to dream about, you mind wakes you up.

No negatives other than that SP can be scary sometimes (but not always.)
