I mean like, do you wish you never got into since there’s things to deal with like sleep paralysis, old hag, false awakenings, having to come in contact with your fears(even though this can be helpful), lack of sleep, etc?
I personally hate how now I’d get paranoid if I have a LD and then wake up to the old hag or have 50 false awakenings. I still love LD though, despite my paranoia. :3
I never saw a old had (but had a scary happening after waking up ), so this is not a thing I’m afraid of. Even if I did saw her, sooner or later hallucination would end, or I’d enter dream, her, then enjoy LD.
SP isn’t a nice feeling, but it’s always in WILD, so I can’t make anything with it. I don’t try WILD too often, so it’s not a threat for me. I don’t have problems with lack of sleep.
Surprisingly…yes, I kinda do now After I really got into the whole LD-thing and started “playing God” my sybconscious has not left me alone in an LD since the last time I fought with it across the dreamscape.
It’s actually creeping me out because I can’t control the subconscious in my LDs–everything else is completely interfaceable with, but when it comes to my subconscious it really starts to fight against me for control of the dreamscape now. And now my NDs are very fuzzy and hard to remember–like my SC is purposely trying to prevent me from reaching lucidity, so DILDs don’t work for me anymore (and that was my best method). I’m restricted to using WILDs and WBTBs, and even then…like I said, my SC fights to either take away my lucidity, or wake me up…
Sounds weird…I know…but d*mn is it frustrating to dream now -.-
I’ve never regretted being able to LD. It’s become so much of my life since I found out more about it.
Besides, I’m not really afraid of the old hag. I’ve had enough hallucinations. Kind of used to it.
Anyway… i’m glad i’ve been able to have a few LDs everyonce in a while. It’s such a rush when you first realize you are dreaming - kind of like a safe party-drug or something.
The only things that ever bother me are just little frustrations. Like, becoming lucid just as you’re waking up (Noooo!) or the sleep paralysis thing (which only happened once in a pretty normal dream, thank goodness). And of course, knowing how other people are so much better at it.
