Thread: Nightmares and Lucidity

Yep, nightmares can be great ways to get lucid. I think it's the "Oh, no. This can't be happening." reaction doing most of the work.

Whenever I become lucid during a nightmare, I tend to confront it. While I could easily wake myself up, it tends to be more satisfying to kick some ass.

For instance, I was having a nightmare a couple days ago about AvP, except the Aliens and Predators were on the same side. I became lucid as the two main baddies started coming after me. I simply reached out my hands and started screwing with their bodies using my TK, making them absolutely powerless as I crashed them into walls and each other.

Of course, there are the occasional psychological nightmares where there is no clear antagonist. Just realizing it's a dream is usually enough to stop those, though.
