Thread: NEED HELP - Trapped In Lucid Nightmares?

The only way to stop your lucid nightmares from happening is to face the nightmare and tell them your not afraid and say they are not real. The reason they keep happening is because your not facing your fears. I'm not an expert or anything but I think this is a good idea. Also if your tired of having these lucid nightmares, Or nightmares in general. Try meditating daily and start relaxing and see if that helps. Maybe you have a psychological problem. Do you have stress? Is something troubling you in your waking life? Are you having troubles at work, school, etc? Usually nightmares happen due to stress. You should start meditating for a couple days and see if anything changes when you dream again. Sorry if none of this makes sense just trying to help. ^_^ I hope your nightmares will go away. Nightmares can be a pain. Trust me.

I think this is actually pretty good and well meant advice. Lucidity in dreams is awesome and can turn nightmares into learning opportunities. I was bothered at first by the frustrations of knowing I was dreaming but not being able to wake from them and to have the false awakenings as well, but if you are lucid enough and you face the fears and frustrations, they turn from nightmares into angels.
