How can I stop having lucid dreams?

I’ve had head-aches aswell. And usually I rarely have head-aches. Maybe 3-4 a year.

Hahaha! Wow, are we actually talking about how to stop lucid dreams? Does anyone else find this very ironic and amusing on a forum called LD4all? :happy:

Well… Some of us DO get excited about them. :razz: I don’t know what to tell you, if you’ve tried everything there’s not much you can do about it. Just try to enjoy it. There’s so many things you can do with a skill like that, it would be such a shame to waste it.

Sorry to post on a forum that promotes lucid dreaming, I thought this would kind of be the best place as it seems that all the research is done by members of the public here. From what i can tell its the only place online that extensively studies lucid dreaming. Although everyone here is trying to acheive lucid dreaming, i was hoping maybe someone has tried a technique that actually hindered there lucid dreaming, obviously something like this would be of use to me.

ok so I’ve tried a number of new things now, one was changing my sleep times, i tried getting up at 9am instead, I also tried limiting my sleep to 6 and then 8 hours. This didn’t have no effect.

I tried getting nightnurse, which is an over the counter sedative, this didn’t work, if anything it made the problem worse.

Hangovers and drinking have no effect, i usually go out clubbing at the weekend so i’ve had lots of practice!

As a last resort I did go to my doctor the other week and tried to explain my problem. To be honest, she thought I was a nut job, she said she fails to see how dreaming is impacting my sleep. She said she definatly will not prescribe sleeping pills to someone thats already getting more than enough sleep. To be honest I don’t even think she understands what lucid dreams are herself, I basically said to her, imagine being stuck in a video game where you’ve played every level, killed every baddie and explored every aspect of the game. I’m afraid if I go back there she might refer me to a shrink!

So basically after all this im still where I started, my only alternative now is to pay someone who specialises in this kind of thing, which leads to me my next question, is there any companies or private doctors in the UK that specialises in lucid dreams?

I did read somewhere (i think on this site) that a guy said he can stop lucid dreams dead in there tracks, if that guy could step forward and reveal his technique id be very gratefull.

I would like to propose that you start meditating. Not only does it help with sleep. But you can meditate while you are dreaming. If you don’t enjoy the lucid dreams, you may as well make them as restful as possible.
I remember a topic that was actually about creating a pseudo Near death experience by meditating in dreams. I can’t attest to the scientific credibility of this, but from what I understand his meditating in the dreams slowed down his brainwaves until his home EEG couldn’t even read them anymore. You wouldn’t have to go this far ofcourse. but If meditating in dreams can slow down your brainwaves like that, then the sleep must be restful. And that is the real problem right?
Furthermore I don’t think you really have done everything as much as ran out of ideas. Reading about what people have done or wish to do in lucid dreams can help you find something to do in them.
And don’t worry about it. If you go about worrying in the dream and are all frustrated then you’re liable to not get good sleep.
If you can’t stop having LDs or find a way to aaccept them you could at least use your LD time to help us understand the dreamworld by participating in experiements hereabouts.
Gee, I wen’t on and on didn’t I?

Ok im not kidding it would be extreamly interesting and informitive if you would (please) kepp a log of what you ate in a normal day. Please? Please? Please? Please? Please?

I too am very interested in said diet.

I don’t have a solution to stop having lucid dreams but I have a solution to not get boring in your lucid dreams. When I get boring in a lucid dream then I think on something that frightens me. This will transform my dream into a nightmare. Zombies, demons, monsters will come out from everywhere to eat me alive. VERY COOL!! At that moment I am not bored anymore because I have something to occupy me with. When it gets to hot, I think on something positive (like girls) to let disappear my fear. And in one second, all monsters have disappeared and my nightmare has turned back into a normal dream. Try it out, it will make your lucid dreams more entertaining.

this problem of yours deters me from having lucid dreams :sad:

It’s wird that you get tierd when you wake becouse you are lucid.
A lucid dream (I think) is just the same as a normal dream exsept that you know you are dreaming.
But it sounds like you remembers youre dreams amazingly well and I think that the reson you feel tierd is that youre brain works on remebering what you dream.

But I don’t know what you should do abute it…

So many unsympathetic people in this thread!

I can definitely understand not wanting to LD through every REM cycle. Sleeping pills might help. I’d refer your doctor to a book by Stephen LaBerge about Lucid Dreaming, or else go to a new doctor. Scientific studies have proved that LDing is real, and surely your doctor can’t ignore that!

Besides that, just as people set intentions to have lucid dreams, you can set intentions to NOT have lucid dreams. Maybe you can even reverse an LDing technique to become a non-LDing technique.

Hey i wasn’t trying to be unsympathetic, it just sounded unreal for me and unaccaptable at first. But since he actually came back to make some new posts and more people have got the problem… i believe you.

I can’t really think of much other ways then already mentioned here. What i do know is your mind doesn’t know the words “Do not”… it works with positive things… Like if youre telling yourself “Do not wake up at 9:30 tomorrow morning”, you will most likely find yourself to wake up at 9:30. Or if you’re about to do something dangerous and youre telling yourself not to fall, you will fall… telling yourself not to miss the target will cause you to miss the target… so tell yourself to HIT the target.

What im trying to point out, is it might be better to tell yourself to sleep very deep and unconscious, instead of telling yourself not to have Lucid Dreams.

Another thing that might work is focus on me before youre going to bed, the guy from the forum that posted this, and focus on giving all your Lucid dream abilities to that guy… ill do my best to accept your burden and do my best to live with those annoying lucid dreams :happy:

You can give them to me… And I’m not kidding…
When you are in a LD, I want you to say: “I want my LD’s to be transferred to Nachician”… But do that, if I have a LD tomorrow, then your task will be complete…

I’m not kidding

Haha, and while you’re at it give some to me too will ya? :happy:
(Not kidding either :meh: )

To the previous posters: this thread has been created by someone experiencing a problem. If this person posted here, it was because they think it was serious and annoying. Nevertheless, most of the very numerous answers here don’t answer to the initial question and are completely off topic. Hence from now, I’ll just suppress all the further off-topic answers, that is all the comments that doesn’t bring any help to the initial poster.

Meat, that might explain it.
Red meat contains alot of B6, and in combination with the other healthy food, it creates very vivid dreams.

If you cut a little down on the meat for a while i guess the LD’ing will go away.

Well, if you meant the “Ld transferring thing”, it might work. There is thing like telepathy, not proved, but propably exists. Maybe it would give something. However chanses it to work are …close to 0. And cantsleep registered 17 oct. and was showing up for three days. I wont be suprised, if he already found a solution of that problem, and this night he’s having normal, restful dream.

@edit

[size=75]So, if you are still here, not logging in, go to sleep in LD. Nothing more, it just must work.[/size]

re: the idea of transfering lucid dreams to another person, the problem there is im a rigid non spiritual type person who knows that telepathy doesn’t exist.

What i tried instead though was creating a scene whilst dreaming whereby I pick up a box with lucid dreams written on it and throw it in a trash can.

Unfortunatly it didn’t work either. I tried many different variations of this theme each night but none of them have had any effect.

I’ve been a vegetarian since Nov 30th and so far the dreams are still here. im going to give this until december the 20th then go back to eating meat. After that as a last resort I’m going to try changing my diet back to junk food.

cantsleep, here are a few ideas:

  1. while lucid create a large screen tv and just watch dream scenes
  2. my lucidity goes way down when I am tired, so try sleeping less
  3. B6 vitamins wipe out my dream recall. Try 50 milligram tablet before sleep. (some people experience B6 as giving more vivid dreams. If you get this effect, you may want to lower foods you eat that contain B6).
  4. Here is web page from somebody with similar problem and his own solution jrmooneyham.com/playg.html
  5. read a complicated book before you sleep. Your mind may spend more time processing the information then dreaming
  6. fly straight up in the air as high as possible. Some people claim this leads to OBE which can give you the real world to explore.
  7. in dreams continue to go to your dream bedroom and lie down. Say to yourself I won’t remember my dreams and close your eyes.

I thought about this thread yesterday. I think you should focus on your waking life in order to solve the problem. Ofcourse you could try to fidure it out while dreaming, maybe you find some new angle. From what you’ve said it appears to be the diet so that mey be the way to go. A shame though if you must go back to junk food.
I still think you should give meditation a try if you haven’t already, especially in the dreamstate, maybe it’s not your cup of tea though.

HAHAHAHAHA, Thats actaully really funny, ive been a lucid dreamer since the age of 5, my familly has a line of psychic that runs in our blood, we can comminicate amongst eachother through are thoughts, but it only works through eachother. most of my family can astral project easily, im not so great yet, my dad astral projed to the future and was in a car accident with his grandpa, when he came back to his body he wasnt sure if it was real or not, the next day he got a call form his mom, his grandad was in the hospital from a carcrash, now see since im a concecutive lucid dreamer and have lucid dreams every night, i have to wondered if its possible to stop. so I tried a few things, theres been very few times in my life where i dont have a lucid dream and ive come to find the reason, uve changed ur diet recently and that has made u start lucid dreaming, u dont need to change ur diet back but do the oppoisite of waht people to do start lucid dreaming, tell ur self, im not dreaming as u fall asleep, i wont be aware, or just get off this site, totaly leave anything that has to do with lucid, or the easier way, instead of having fun in ur lucid dream, flying, going to the moon, just go to sleep while sleeping, ur lucid and ur aware of wats going on and u have powers, so use ur powers to make urself fall asleep in ur dream, that should work. it does for me whenever i dont feel like flying or anything, like c mon ive been lucid dreaming since 5, it really does get boring so i know how u feel. but try what i said, and try changing where ur bed is, ur body mite be used to that spot. switch the matress side and move ur bed a different angle.
