Thread: First lucid dream - terrifying

Dear Francis, besides the fact that dreams are interesting and sometimes fun and can give us insight into who we are and what is important to us, there is also the elements of good and evil, thats why we have saints like Mother Teresa and devils like Charles Manson. I have seen both up close and personal, awake and asleep. Don't be fooled into thinking life is all good and sunshine and happy places! There is true darkness and true light and it is not the energy of "the force". They are beings! More real than the life we live in! My advice is seek the light which is in the person of Jesus Christ, he will be your spirit guide, dream guide and keeper of your soul!

But I think it was just sleep paralysis, as his wife would of woken up with that struggle so it was all in his head imo. Am I missing something ?

Hello and again welcome. I had somewhat of a scary experience my first lucid. It was actually by accident I had just started reading about LDs and I found myself in the dream. I realized I was dreaming because I seen a friend of mine in an old chilhood place that I knew this particular person would never be. So I entered the room where all the activity was and just sat on a couch kind getting comfortable with the dream, telling my self OK Im dreaming lets see whats up. I was just talking amongst somepeople I knew and my friend sitting next to me put his hand on my knee to boost hiself off the couch and I looked up and he turned into a demon type character and started holding my down kind of cackling and then said "theyre coming for you" I immediately woke up but was still unable to move for about 30 sec....pretty scary stuff it was. I havent had anything scary since then and only one other LD

Welcome!
Congrats on your first LD
Its just a dream. I used to be afraid of my dreams thinking they were real but you just got to remember that there not.
Message me any time if you want.

hmm, It seems alot of people who have there first LD(not all) but when i seen on these fourms that its a scary one, you being possied and some people being chased by demons lol.

I used to wake up right away when I know I was dreaming before coming to this sight, So those don't really count. My first FULL lucid as in total control on the dream scene, people, etc, Was two days after joining. It was awesome and lasted a long time. It's pretty fun to explore your dream world neighborhood!

Whenever I have a scary dream, I take time the next day to read back through my dream journal at all the beautiful experiences I've had. Even reading other people's dreams can help. It helps reestablish that positive connection to dreaming, and get me motivated to have more of those positive dreams.
