Don't try thinking about anything, just go with the flow. Infact going on an adventure shouldn't be a problem, don't try and make the dream relaxing. Don't try and control anything at all. If you do that it should hopefully turn into a normal dream. |

Hi all! I have been having lucid dreams since I was about 10 after counseling for night terrors. My mother and sister can also lucid dream. Here is the problem right now: normally I still can get a decent nights sleep and still feel rested. Lately I have been under a lot of stress (just moved half way across the country, waiting to hear about getting into med school) and my lucid dreams are exhausting me. Sometimes I dream I am at work and sometimes it is random. I tell the other people in the dream I am tired and need to rest and they tell me I can sleep when I am dead and drag me along on crazy adventures. I have been having some bad dreams to and the energy it takes to keep them controlled and from becoming nightmares is wiping me out and I have had a few I lost control of and wake up yelling. Has this happened to anyone else and any suggestions. I have tried going to a beach or cruise ship to relax and crazy adventures start. I may not find out about my first choice med school until July (alternate list) so I really need some help! |

My sister has had problems similar to this. She is terribly afraid of her dreams but she is always aware they are dreams. What she does is recite to herself a prayer... Doesn't mean you have to but find something soothing to recite to yourself inside your dream. She was actually meditating in her dream state. Anyway she was able to stop her nightmares and or just reach a normal dream state. She tries her hardest to not remember her dreams because they frighten her so much. Well that's my idea. Hope it was helpful! |

I know we have to be careful of what we wish for but damn..... wish I had this problem. |

If I hadn't made me
I'd be more inclined to bow
Powers that be would have swallowed me up
But that's more than I can allow...
Welcome spectacle!Have a banana! |

You guys suck.
You could do this for a few days by setting your alarm to wake you up before you enter REM sleep. Try setting the alarm to wake you up 1 hour later every time you wish to hit the pillow through the night. This will drastically affect the quality of your sleep and you'll feel almost as if you've not slept for days. Eventually, your body will catch on and force you to enter REM as soon as you fall asleep, exposing you to the possibility of lucid dreams again. |

Well, I'd really love to have this "curse of lucid dreaming on me " |

Thank you for all of the suggestions! |
