I need sleep and these days i need it a lot! If i practise WILD, is there any possibility that i will experience SP or lucidity against my will? Because that i suppose it will reduce my mood for sleep and so i won’t sleep as much as i need to.
Something else: let’s say that someone has the ability to be lucid every time he is dreaming. Is that healthy? I mean, doesn’t his mind get tired this way?
Ah and something else: How easy is it to stop be lucid if you do not want anymore?
I wouldn’t think someone’s mind would get tired from always being able to LD, but I’m not sure. Sometimes I get LD’s nearly every night for about a week, and I still feel like I’ve gotten a normal sleep when I wake up, hell sometimes I feel more awake, because I’m excited that I got a LD.
As for stopping lucidity; if you mean while you’re having an LD, I had it happen to me once by accident before. My mind just kind of drifted off and I forgot I was dreaming and I lost control. I’m guessing this would be really easy to do intentionally, but I don’t think it’s worth it.
You just need to forget about it. Never to see any mention of it. Keep your mind busy with books and work. In a while, you will lose your DR, and have, only rarely an LD.
But I realy think it is better to still have an LD (read An El Dee) Every couple of nights. It works quite well, for me, atleast. I get one day with absolutly no dreams, and another one with a lucid dream.
Stephen Laberge wrote something in EWLD (think it was that one) that when he got scared that he wouldn’t be able to have NDs any more he immediately stopped having them. This shows that it is basically impossible to LD if you don’t want to, this should be the case anyway seeing how hard it is to sustain lucidity once you attain it.
Stopping Lucid dreaming is WAY easyer than to start (again) , till now no negative effescts on the mental or physicall well-being could be observed that i know of .
It is indeed possible to fall conciouslly in SP without attempting it at will, in this case , be happy and have a WILD journey through the dream world
hope i answered some questions
I’ve a copy of Stephen LaBerge’s book Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming. I hadn’t any time to read it, but i will spare some time to check that part!
I am not sure yet However i can think 2-3 of reasons:
1.Doesn’t want to have SP and hallucinations.
2.Feels that he needs deep sleep.
3.When he becomes lucid he sees monsters and he has not the courage to face them. So he suffers twice.
Anyway, except from the aboves, i do not generally like the non-reversible situations.
But especially SP frigthens me (even if i haven’t experienced any yet ).That’s mainly the reason that i opened this topic.
weather or not you have a LD you are still sleeping.
you risk seeing monsters weather its a LD or a ND but if you do see these ‘monsters’ in a LD you have better possibilities of doing something about it, rather than if it happened in a ND.
I was reffering to the WILD method when i talked about SP! Of course you can have it even if you haven’t heard at all about SP and LD stuff, but i said: “is there any turning back”, which means “if you <> yourself to get used in having them, is it easy to get rid of them later?”
The second one i am not sure, i can’t do LD willingly yet, so i won’t argue for this now.
From the third now, i think that if you see it in a normal dream, because you are in a normal dream, you are “programmed” to act in a certain way, so there isn’t so much fear than to have to act yourself if a spider is chasing you. Of course it depends on what’s your courage. I was reffering to someone with not much of it
But anyway, even if all these that i claim are nonsenses, i still want to know if there’s a turning back from SP and LD…just from curiosity
