I knew that I would eventually run across another post on lucid dreaming. I am very glad I have. I am very familiar with the practice and application of lucid dreaming. Unfortunately, many people who attempt this transition of the mind into another form are inexperienced with actually doing it consciously. Most people lay and wait for their body to enter the 'shut-down state' in which they are rendered incapable of taking bodily action, yet are conscious and have their full senses. While in this state, the subconscious self comprised of fears, loathings, bad memories and experiences known as the "Shadow Self", which is ultimately everything negative about your conscious, begins to bubble up and interact with your thoughts. Honestly, there is much to be gained from this. When you can confront your alter ego directly, and overcome it, you will be limited by nothing internally, save eternity.

However, lucid dreaming is not really accessed from this point. Rather, give yourself peace or steady trance songs without lyrics. Laying in bed is an easy starting point, just before you fall asleep, lay in bed, get comfortable. Put a light pillow or blanket over your eyes so that there is no light visible, but you can still breath easily through you nose and mouth. Now think about where you would like to go, and what you want to do in your lucid dream and imagine it, similarly to daydreaming. It is really this easy. Practice as though you are daydreaming, but now you have only the daydream around you to sense and very slowly you will be transported deeper and deeper into a lucid dream state that gradually becomes more and more dreamlike and less and less attached to the material reality.

I often imagine that I am with or going to see my love interest. It is very easy to start using lucid dreaming to experience scenarios and conversations and the like to sort of try things out before you attempt them in life. Your dreams are where you really find out what you're like.

Yeah, as soon as it said to lay on your back with your arms at your side I knew it was bad. I get sleep paralysis all the time, much worse when sleeping on my back instead of my side, and that's pretty much how it always goes. Need to scream, but can't. Need to run, but can't. May even know it's not real, but it doesn't matter, because the fear is still very real.

did you ever get bad nightmares after getting sleep paralysis?
i keep having a reoccurring dream in which I'm running from something (It's usually that girl from the grudge, like on all fours and head spinning) and i start to run down a corridor. I come to a door which needs to be pulled to open (So i needed to slow down) so as soon as I stop to open the door the creature grabs and rips off my legs and arms.

That has actually caused a fear of pull doors ( Probably the worst fear ever :P)

I haven't had any recurring nightmares in a long time. Still, my dreams usually involve running, but no matter how fast I try to move my legs, it feels like I'm almost standing still, struggling to pull an enormous weight, or being pulled backwards.

I think it might help you guys if you start to learn more about lucid dreaming.
If you learn to control your dreams more it gets less scary.
Just learn be realize that you dream, which in a nightmare should be easier than in a normal or good dream, because the fear wakes you up. For me it ALWAYS worked to scream at the ''monster'' and show it who is boss. I actually mean scream at it and show it who is boss. Get angry at it.
I hope this might help you guys.

It has nothing to do with that. It may do you some good to learn some more about sleep paralysis. It throws the portion of the brain responsible for controlling fear into overdrive. You may not even still be dreaming at all. You can just be stuck lying there, frozen, afraid of nothing.

It's nothing about the lucid dreaming that caused it, i have an understanding about lucid dreaming, but i tried this method just as a tester, but i was unable to sleep directly after the sleep paralysis which is what cause my brain to see things.

I once accidentally lapsed into sleep paralysis, started hearing creepy-ass whooshing noises and had this odd spinning sensation, but had luckily read something on the topic recently. I found that I could manage to break free from sleep paralysis relatively quickly by trying to wiggle my big toe (apparently it's the easiest part of your body to wake from sleep paralysis, because your body doesn't see the need to 100% prevent your fingers and toes from moving in sleep), and then gradually wake my body up from that point. I don't know, might help you in the future, so I figured I might as well post.

Dude. i feel you, I've had the same problem, but instead of screaming i heard a lot of chatting, almost like the mixture of babble that you get when there are a lot of people talking in a room, you cam here lots of things being said, but never a full sentence.
It really scared me, his happened like 3 weeks ago, and the only time i slept was after passing out from lack of sleep. Even then i heard noises while dreaming, and when waking up a felt like there was a lot of people around me who then scattered. as if the were caught doing something they should of been.

Seriously scary.
All the best, bro message me some time

Holy **** man, this just gave me chills. When I was around 8-11 I found that sometimes while trying to get to sleep, i started to lose my ability to move all that much, and began to hear noises, chatter like, all around me. If I opened my eyes, they still surrounded me, but after I tried to move, they became really agitated and seemed to circle around me, just out of my vision, getting louder, until I managed to get up and run into my parents room. They always said "just a bad dream" and **** like that to me. I knew it was something off. Was scared for a long time after it ended for it to start again. Now I know I'm not alone. **** man. Gave me chills.

Yeh, sorry to tell, but you did it wrong. Keep in mind, that it's your subconscious that play tricks with you, when lucid dreaming, And because your brain is still awake while your body ain't, the only thing that is working is your subconscious. When those creepy scary ass **** things happend, you should actually overcome your fear and DO NOT try wake up your body. If you do want to escape the creeps so baddly, you should force your brain to sleep completly, not waking up, or else **** like hearing those screams will stuck in your brain forever or a really long time. All because you are shocking your brain when waking it up like that. But guys, seriously, you shouldn't be scared of experimenting with lucid dreaming, it's fun, and I can only reccomend it.

It was not the lucid dreaming that caused this, it was the fact i was not able to sleep after entering sleep paralysis
I'm sure if i were able to get to sleep i would of had a lucid dream, and not heard what I did.

Not necessary true, dreams and dream like states tend to have a more negative emotion than it does a good one, anything you see or hear will have a larger chance of being something that is a fear, or angry towards you.

All of this is ********. best way is to do a reality check every 20-30 minutes like asking yourself "am i dreaming" throughout the day, you'll end up doing it in your dream and realizing you're dreaming. Also keep a dream journal, as soon as you wake up write down as much as you can as soon as you wake up.

This isnt a Lucid dream this is something like hypnopsychosis, dreaming when awake. A lucid dream is a dream that you can control, takes practice and is normaly set off by some kind of symbol in the dream

you don't, sleep paralysis is the scariest **** ever, i've been lucky enough to never experience it, but people who have, see and hear the scariest **** imaginable. People have seen and felt demonic manifestations laying on top of them, and looking at them, and making them unable to move or scream, kinda makes you scared to go to sleep sometimes, cuz it could happen to anyone, and trying to do this will just make it that much easier for something to go wrong

I went into sleep paralysis on accident once, really scary looking old bitch just stared at me from the dark, I flipped ****, but still couldn't move, tried everything, then I got one of my arms loose (can't remember how, still a little fuzzy) then I went to slap myself, then I woke up. mfw

that's a rather common hallucination called "The Hag" which makes paralysis all the scrarier, since a lot of people see the same ****, it could be deeper than we all think

I have actually had a dream about a demon. But I pushed it back.

You cant really use physical things when it comes to a supernatural. You have to use spiritual power. Something the demon would hate.

Seriously, you DO want. I practice this very often, and yes, it is incredible hard to control your dreams. But when you start getting a hang on it, you will see that you can solve many of your problems, since you are in contact with your subconscious. You will now be able to get a better answer of your feelings, and what to do in the future. Seriously, try it out! Nothing can go wrong, I promise you.
