I finally decided to move this topic into the Stuff Dreams are made of forum, cause it’s not really about paranormal

(If there’s already a topic on this, mods, please move it.)

I don’t know too much about night terrors (just what I’ve read, thank goodness), so I was looking up information about them and came across this poor soul’s story:  
[sleepnet.com/forum5/messages/1102.html](https://www.sleepnet.com/forum5/messages/1102.html)  
He seems truly disturbed by his night terrors and he does mention lucid dreaming but calls it “paranormal junk” and “pseudo-scientific garbarge”. What a shame, I’m sure if he opened his mind and learned more about lucidity he could try to overcome his night terrors, don’t you guys agree? Even if LDs didn’t fix him, it would be worth a try.

It bothers me that he also says that others believe in “paranormal realities”, as if he himself doesn’t believe in LDs and OBEs, etc., but then he goes on to say how he feels that whatever is causing this abyss of evil he suffers from in his sleep, is caused by some outside force and it’s not within his own mind. That seems to be a contradiction to me, wouldn’t the belief in some “other being” controlling your dreams mean that you believe in an alternate reality?

And things I’ve learned state that night terrors usually happen to children who grow out of them and when they do have them, they don’t usually remember them, but this poor guy is in his thirties and still has them and does remember them. What a bummer. Anyone here ever have them? Know anyone who has? Has trying to become lucid helped?
