I Want To Stop Lucid Dreaming!

by Danielle
(Beckenham, London)

I read an article about lucid dreaming a few months ago and since then have had a constant amount of them, however now there getting pretty regular and are all linked like a series drama. Although this sounds cool and amazing I really want to know how to get rid of it as whatever my mood is during the day it happens in my dream. For instance if I'm sad, something sad/scary will happen to me, which doesn't help my overall well being. Is there anyway to stop these dreams?

 Control
by: Eldin

Have you tried to recognize your sense of control and utilize it in these dreams? Once I realized I was capable of controlling mine, the dilemma that you face was an advantage to me. For example, if I had a bad day at work, I could seek ways to rectify it in my dreams that would be impossible in real life.

Good Luck!

 You can't
by: José

You simply can't. I mean you can induce yourself to deeper sleep by unhealthy ways. Shortening your nights can also help but if you want a natural good sleep you will have to deal with lucid dreaming. Take it as free extra time in your life. Why would you even be thinking about the waken world? I think the problem in your case is that you have learned to lucid dream (consciously or unconsciously) yet have not learned to master it. It is possible to transform your lucid dreams into adventures that have nothing to do with reality (like a movie), with powers and rules (like laws of physics). Belief me, lucid dreaming is a gift that can become an awesome entertainment experience.

 Calm Down NEW
by: ToRi

all you have to do to change this is tell yourself before entering the waking life, 'I WILL HAVE NICE DREAMS TONIGHT'. you have to say it with a lot of confidence and passion, or it won't happen. if you want to lucid dream, lucid dream. just remind yourself whenever you get moody, 'Be Happy'.. [I know it might sound kinda stupid but it has effect].

 My Lucid Dreaming
by: DJ

Some people wish they had them and others wish they could stop. Here's my story. I have lucid dreams several times a week. I have done this as far back as I can remember, even as a little girl. I love it in the sense, I usually immediately know I am dreaming and I really enjoy the ones I have with loved ones who are gone, especially with my mom. I take that time to hang out with them and talk with them, I know when I wake up, they will be gone. I feel like I watch movies all night long. I can do and say things I know I can't when I am awake. Yes, there are scary times and when that happens, sometimes it is because my body is hurting and I need to wake up and re-adjust and it helps. The down fall, I am exhausted ALL THE TIME. I take naps as often as I can. Sometimes even during my lunch breaks at work just to help me get through the day. Melatonin helps a little sometimes but I cannot take a large dose. I cannot take large amounts of caffeine for health reasons as well. I will have lucid dreams several days in a row and then that 3rd or 4th day, I pretty much crash. Jose mentioned in 2011 you can't change it. I pretty much agree. It is a blessing and curse at the same time. My advice, try and use your dreams to your advantage. No lie, when I was in college, in my sleep, I would study I only kept studying what I knew for a fact and it actually helped me with getting some good grades. My advice, enjoy what you can do with them and save time for napping cause you are going to need it. You will find little tricks that will help you manage them. And one of the greatest blessings you can have, is someone who understands. My Husband is supper supportive. He thinks it's cool but understands my lack of energy and how it's really hard to create any. I have ran into a lot of non believers, people who think you lie about it. But the ones that try and understand, really help.
