      Lucidity for a Paranoid Person?

      Hello all. I've known for a while now, that to help you remain lucid during a dream, you need to remain calm and concentrate, control emotions, etc.....but....

      I suffer from horrible paranoia. Always looking behind me, or cringing at the slightest disturbance. This causes me to lose focus and disrupt whatever i'm doing OTL Does anyone have any advice I could use to remain calm in a paranoid situation? If I don't control it, I'll probably lose or never get into a lucid dream D:

      Lucid dreaming can actually really help with that. I've been working through some pretty intense anxiety/frequent panic attacks and some paranoia... It's definitely eased up a lot, and dreams/lucid dreams have helped with it.

      I find that a lot of that anxiety goes away when I'm dreaming.

      One thing that helps me, is having the knowledge that if you ever get in an uncomfortable situation, you can start spinning and it will go away and transport you somewhere completely new. Try spinning your dream body really fast if this ever happens, and you may be amazed at where you end up.

      Good luck!

      How did I know this was a thread of yours, Tolo? I agree with Cacophony. Every lengthy dream I have takes away a chunk of my paranoia in the waking world. I guess that's why I'm not extremely paranoid anymore.

      Are you guys friends outside of this forum? I simply had to ask.

      Yeah, we are.
      If I wasn't friends with him, I definitely wouldn't dare to be so casual. I'm simply not as social with strangers. xD;
