things to be afraid while lucid dreaming

Be very afriad!!! :devil:

i am. but i am afraid of many things in life. and i want to try/

Ofcourse, many people have tried killing themselves in LDs (in RL). Its been proven that you can’t. But I’m determined to find a way!

why do u need it? id be happy just to enjoy my LD. i jusmped from the tops of buildeings, jumped in the lake, etc in my dreams but it all ended in waking up the same sec

Hello, im here to solve this topic!

Stepen la Berge, in an interview was asked,
“could you die in a lucid dream?,”
He replied: “well, if they did die in a dream, they cant wake up and tell us.”

Now. :tongue:

Thanks :ok:

i think it is possible if you truely believe that you are dying and not aware its a dream. It is possible to quite litterally be “scared to death” basically a heart attack, so if you truely believe it is real then you could die through extreme fear.

However in an LD i would say it is impossible, the meaning of Lucid Dreaming is that you KNOW you are dreaming therefore you couldn’t be sufficiantly scared to cause heart failure in real life as you already know you are dreaming, you know you can’t be harmed and therefore will not be scared.

Then their “proof” is totally flawed because i don’t breathe at all in dreams LD or ND.

Well i’ll tell you one thing, i have stopped myself waking up many times from excitement with deep slow breathing to come my self down.

And he could of stopped breathing because maybe he stopped beathing in real life ie. laying face down on a pillow or something, i have felt my body once or twice while still having my vision in a lucid dream, but only for a second or so.

And a scary thought - could you commit suicide in an LD? Consciously cause yourself to stop breathing etc.? But, if someone is having an LD, why would they want to do that? Just about all LD and related experiences I’ve heard of were all very positive. The worst that could happen to a suicidal/depressed person is to get ‘addicted’ to LD and only live to sleep and LD…

Still I doubt that (aside from a heartattack caused by intense fear) you could die in an LD because of something that happens in the dream. You’d probably wake up. Just because your mind doesn’t cooperate doesn’t mean your body instantly stops. Reminds me of OOBE, where your consciousness leaves your body but your body just continues to breathe and function normally. After all things like breathing or blinking or digesting food are all functions your body does naturally without you having to think about it excessively.

You got it. :wink: a lucid dream is your own personal universe in which you can do anything. ^^

Well it’s not the consciousness that makes you breathe its your brain, your brain controls everything your body does via the ANS.

thnx for solving this out 4 me…happy LDing lol :wink:

That’s sort of what I meant. Breathing isn’t a conscious process. ^^

Breathing isn’t a conscious process.

Thank god lol. I would have been dead a long time ago. lol.

Also you could get stuck in a dream.

Lol! Yes, I think I would be too. ‘Gee, what have I forgotten? Oh yes GASP’ Death by stupidity!

As for getting ‘Stuck’ in a dream, waht do you mean? Unable to get out? That’s what alarm clocks were invented for!

You can hold your breath in RL right. Wat is you contsciously held your breath in an LD. Could you cause yourself to faint? Would you start breathing again. Really it needs two people, one to sleep and try it, the other to make sure they don’t die.

How can you be stuck in a dream. It is hard just to stay asleep in an LD.

I made up a senerio some time ago where you were stuck in a LD. Like years and for some reason you could not get out. Ever had a nightmare where you want to get out so badly but you never can. Thats what I mean except it’s a LD.
About breathing. A couple days ago I tried to switch my breathing to consiousness. Stupid mistake. I ended up almost dieing 3 times when I didn’t have air. lol. I was breathing on porpose every 5 seconds and that just shut off my breathing in unconiosness. Never will I try that again. Boy was I scared.

is it true that if you get to excited in a ld that you can have a heart attack in real life?

scary thoughts, but simething that scares me are false awakening. How common are they and what do u do about them?

FA’s scare you? What? Their like anyother dream and they are quite common. Everytime you wake up do a RC. That way if you get a FA you’ll do a RC and either go Lucid or wake up.
DaturaSpectrum: Yes it’s true probably never happens and is almost impossible for it to happen but ya it happens and it can.

Don’t worry about it, DaturaSpectrum - that’s just because your heart rate in a dream seems to match the real one. They aren’t seperate. Unless you have a good chance of getting a heart attack in real life, you needn’t worry about one in your dreams.
