Do you ever regret being able to LD?

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. :scared: I still love LD though, despite my paranoia. :3

You havent had any LD’s, have you?

Trust me. Your opinions will change when you have your first LD.

the only negative I get is not getting them frequently and knowing that others do :tongue:

Actually I’ve had about 3 LDs…^^;
I should get over my paranoia eventually. >.<

Im also kinda paranoid about the old hag, and nightmares. But FA seems to be cool, but scary at the same time. Hmm. Well…

I never saw a old had (but had a scary happening after waking up :neutral: ), 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, :truit: 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 :neutral: 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 -.-

It would be fun to fight my SC I think, always at disadvantage though, but you have god powers so does it and… well… Epic fight :smile:

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.

The only regret ive had, is not getting enough LD’s for the amount of effort i put in to it.

whats old hag?

Old Hag is something Evil sitting on your chest, you not moving, and shitting your pants. At least that is what I read. It never happened to me.

I’ve read someone had sex with the old hag… -.-’

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.

Have you tried offering to work together with your SC. After all you are in the same body. :smile:

Now that I had a LD, I can say absolutely NO!

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. :wink:
