      Nightmare inducing for content in my game.

      I'm an experienced lucid dreamer, and have been for about 2.5 years, so I don't need to know too much.

      But anyways, I'm wondering if anyone knows any ways to induce non-lucid nightmares. I'm currently working on a game (More info here: http://www.dreamviews.com/entertainm...velopment.html) and I need nightmare inspired ideas to add into it, but I'm not getting enough surreal nightmares to get any decent ideas.

      For example, I had a nightmare about a Japanese ghost woman with a twisted neck. I added her as a supporting role in my game.
      DawnEye11 and pepsibluefan like this.

      Sounds like a cool game. Perhaps watching scary movies will give you some ideas. Maybe you can add a invisible or black shadow character that paralyses the gamer for a decent amount of time or a monster that appears when you open the wrong door or a envelope. Like put fun/scary surprises you wouldn't expect

      Maybe watching a huge load of horror movies? I am horror movie-proof and you might be... if so, then no clue hehe.

      Btw, I am a big Zelda fan

      This might be a little too much of a commitment for you, but when I need brainstorming for horror ideas I will put myself into a mindset where I'm constantly thinking about horror things and it'll rub off into dreams and everything else.

      Only thing is that it could get pretty dark being like that for a while.

      That's exactly what I need, I'll definitely try doing this.

      One thing I like to do is go and sit out in the forest at night. I can't see anything but a little bit of the night sky above, and the only noise is the ambiance. It's an amazing atmosphere to be in, but I guess my positive feelings towards it doesn't make it very scary, therefore ruining the idea of me wanting nightmares.

      Thanks all, I'll try out what I can.

      Also I'm not really a fan of horror movies, I don't enjoy watching any movie really. Finally, my game doesn't really rely much on jump scares, 90% fridge horror and atmosphere

      I just remembered a topic bought up about cheese, and how various kinds effect your dreams, can anyone confirm?

      Tell me how it goes, I never heard of anyone else trying it other then me, most people don;t like to have those kinds of thoughts though.

      That comic with the automated scrolling and animation gave you nightmares; didn't it? When her head turns you can actually hear her neck turn and crack. I have seen it myself and it was pretty disturbing. You think its a normal comic and BAM live animation unexpectedly comes up. I thought it was worse then a pop up. Quiet frankly I call those kind of things "cheap shot scares". Kind of like when you are talking to someone and they randomly punch you.

      This seems really interesting.
      Lucid dreaming takes three things: Patience, practice, and perseverance.
