Lucid Dreamer since childhood
Hi, I'm new to this website, or any dream discussion website, but I have been a lucid dreamer since childhood (I am now 19). For me lucid dreaming came suddenly during one horrific nightmare, and never left. I lucid dream almost 100% of the time, and lately have been wondering if there is any harm in this.
I have excessive daytime sleepiness, and though I am sure there are other factors involved, sometimes I wonder about my lucid dreaming and how it effects my sleep. I feel there must be some effect of bringing the consciousness into the subconscious world, at a time when that part of your brain is meant to be resting? (Especially if, like me, you no longer know how to turn off lucid dreaming)
Does anyone feel the same way? Or have any thoughts about why we dream?
