Last night i was lucid right. I became lucid when a demon was chasing me in my dark living room and i tried a light switch, sure enough it didnt work. so i became lucid. The demon wouldnt stop bugging me so i tried to make it dissapear. but i only made its mouth dissappear. it kept jumping on me and i didnt have time to rub my hands together.

what do i do when i am being tackled and im lucid. and i can’t get them off me even with my powers or teleporting. and i dont have time to rub my hands together?

you have to take a deep breath, relax, and understand that you feel no pain. focus your concentration on yourself and that you are everywhere and everything in your dream. that way you control everything in your environment.
then you can just give the tackler a flick and he should fly across the room

Just start kissing. At first it might be weird, but the demon will probably change into someone more yummy as things get interesting. They’re already on top of you, so ENJOY!

What happens if you close your eyes?

oh ya a great idea

blackeyeliner1 · October 28, 2003, 6:55pm

i have no idea. i dont think i have ever closed my eyes in a lucid dream or in a regular dream. And if I have i dont remember. That could be an RC!

I recommend you don’t open your eyes. This could lead to you falling asleep in your dream and actually waking up in RL.

Remember, the scaring monster is an illusion created by our (annoyingly) upredictable brains. So why not delete it with though power. I know though power doesn’t always work, it never seems to for me, all I’ve managed to get hold of was the Wakeup command, isn’t that useful!!!

I might have read that closing your eyes in an LD can cause an FA. A way out of a situation , perhaps?

lol! Seriously, as weird as it may sound, that really works! I’ve tried it. Once there was some sort of creature bugging me and just wouldn’t leave me alone and I just asked him(or whatever it was) if he’d want to have sex and as soon as I said that the creature turned into this really great looking guy! See?

I agree that closing your eyes might be not the best idea.It may cause you to loose lucidity or to Fa like mentioned above.
Anyways the key to overcome any scary situation is to face it.Once you stay your ground and you will never have this problem again.If its lucid you know its all up to you what happens around and that youre mighty enough to change whole scene just with your thought.Imagine the light sword youre wielding or deadly xrays from your eyes…whatever you find easier:)
good luck:)

I don’t think attacking the demon would be such a great idea, much like S. Laberge thinks.

I suggest that you treat the demon (or anything else that terrifies you for that matter) like a part of your subconscious, which it really is, and ask it questions like “why are you chasing me?” and “why am I having these dreams?” etc.

infection0 · October 29, 2003, 5:03am

yeah, close your eyes and kiss! Oh my god that is the best thing ever!

Whoever tried this experiment first was probably out of their minds though (cough minako cough)

Anyways even though LaBerge doesn’t recommend it I say just kick him and expect him to die. Or you can “attack him” the other way. And like Sage said:

I’d use another smiley but for some reason mozilla won’t load the “view more emoticons” thing.

Hey, I didn’t start kissing the ugly thing untill it actually turned itself to a really great looking guy!
