Thread: 6 month no ld dry spell over, and why i stopped

I'll start by saying sorry for the long post, but i think at least that its a good read if ya have the time.

My expirience with a dry spell is sort of weird because I forced myself to stop ld'ing. I feel like I can see jaws dropping when i say that, but my last ld before this mornings was absolutely terrifying. What happened is this, My dream was taking place in some sort of underground research facility, the dream characters consisted of people and aliens who are co-existing happiliy. In my dream i glance at my watch and reailze "Hey, i should do a check", so i do and the time changes to what i thought it should change to (so i realize i'm dreaming) , just as i do that, it was like a disguise had been pulled off of me and every dream character in my dream stopped what they were doing and just stared at me, it was so creepy so i tried to leave the corridor and just started running, they all chased me for what seemed like about a minute and then i thought to myself, my friend will be around the corner and she was. I talked to her for maybe a second and then the aliens/people were upon us, at which point i woke up.....or so i thought, i quickly sat up in bed and was like that was so f'd then realized I was still dreaming (i'm not sure how) then everything went black and a very dark and well scary voice warned me not to lucid dream again and said that i wasn't meant to lucid dream and if i did again.......... then i woke up for real.

Anyways obviosuly this really turned me off ld'ing so i stopped writing in my journal a few nights afterwards and pretty much gave up on it, but over the past few weeks i've been reading more and more about it and this morning i woke up and thought to myself, i'm going back to bed and having a lucid dream, i had many starts to dreams where i would realize i'm dreaming and wake up, but in the end i finally had one that lasted about 30 seconds (of course i forgot all about spinning etc). So i would just like to say that for now I am back, but if lucid dreaming turns on me again, i will be gone.

Anyways, any thuoghts and expiriences are most welcome
