Lucid Dreaming

I swear to god it helped me with a nightmare. Once I was being chased by some monster and I was crying and shit I was like 12 and it was legit and I was like wait this is a dream I control it and I just could fly and all of a sudden I was flying in the clouds and shit. I know this sounds trippy but yeah and I can wake myself up just by saying wake up in my dream. That's only when I'm lucid dreaming tho. Only have done it a couple of times

Won't it be worth it in the end?

Why would that be worth it?

Forget it. I suppose this isn't your thing.

dreaming is also described as 'paradoxical sleep'. Paradoxical, because the brain is as active during dreaming as during the waking state, while strangely enough the body is completely inactive (paralyzed). Lucid dreaming doesn't add much additional brain activity to the already highly active brain in REM-sleep when it is dreaming. If you have had a stressful dream about some examination test you failed to complete however, you wake up depressed. If you on the other hand wake up from a lucid dream where you have recognized that examination scenario as a typical dream scenario and instead decided to kiss someone you secretly love (for example), you wake up far more excited and energetic. Lucid dreaming does not make you more tired than any other ordinary dream. Potentially, based on how you use your lucid dreams, lucid dreams can greatly improve your everyday life qualit, so it doesn't make you tired or anything like that its just like normal sleep.

I guess not. I hope I didn't come off as assy in my replies. I simply can't picture myself doing this. Don't get me wrong though, it does seem interesting.

"You may well have performed a reality check in a dream (and even become lucid) but just didn't remember it!"

Damn... what if I lucid dreamed dozens of times, but never remembered them? Hahaha
