Help needed... I want the lucid dreams to stop
I have always had vivid dreams since childhood. Recently (about a year and half ago) I started having lucid dreams. I didn't even know what they were called, I always thought it was something everyone could do. If I'm being chased I'll make myself fly away. If I have the dream where I'm walking in slow motion I'll make myself walk fast. So many different types. I've been visited by dead grandmother, knew I was dreaming, but she still walked away, I couldnt control it (btw her eyes were completely black, really disturbing). Small warnings... I'll dream that there will be a check point for inspection/ registration, two days later I'll pass through one.
The problem is I'm always tired. That's how I found out what lucid dreams are, I was looking up sleep disorders. No matter how much I sleep I am always fatigued. It apparently has to with the stage of rem my brain is achieving. It's not restful sleep. And it's every night. I can't make it stop.
It seems so many people want to be able to do this, I just want it to go away. I'm so sick of being tired. Does anybody know techniques (yoga, meditation, medicine even) that will let me get real sleep?
Anyone has this problem, please help.
I will ask Nick Newport for you, LB82
Dear LB82
Nicknewport had horrible nightmares and chronic insomnia from childhood. The insomnia drove him to delve deep into the research and practice of Lucid Dreaming and OBEing. He desparately needed to stop the nightmares and chronic insomnia.
I wll contact him for you and ask him your question. It may take me a week or two. But I will get back to you when I hear from him.
I have heard of others who suffered bad nightmares as children later becoming lucid in their nightmares and learning how to terminate them. Some of these Lucid Dreamers believe that there nightmares forced lucidity on them as a way of dealing with the nightmares.
Also, I have read on different forums that when intreped Lucid Dreamers are expanding their Lucid Dreamjng skills they wake up tired.
I believe you and sympathise.
I hope some one here has suffered as you have and found a way out that they can share with you. They might private email you.
I will tell Nick. I am sure he can help. I'll get back to you as soon as I can.
